Talk:Pennsylvania's 1st congressional district

Latest comment: 16 years ago by Markles in topic General ticket

WTF? Served “1879 - 1912”; “Died in office in 1879”?!?

edit

Alright, so we have

Henry H. Bingham | Republican | 1879 - 1912 | Philadelphia | Died in office in 1879

Grand: the man served for many years after his friggin' death! Indeed, he was apparently reëlected a number of times after his death. Pennsylvania is truly weird! —12.72.73.84 19:29, 5 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Okay, I have repaired that silliness. —12.72.73.84 19:34, 5 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

General ticket

edit

I presume some of these Reps who served together at the same time from the same district were elected on a general ticket. Is that so?

Then if so, I suggest formatting this article more like Pennsylvania's At-large congressional district, which can handle multiple Reps.

(See also United States Congressional Delegations from Massachusetts).

What do you think?—Markles 18:25, 23 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
