Things are slooooooooow this post-election Veterans Day legal holiday, so if you're in Pittsburgh why not read this Eleanor Chute story on proposed Pittsburgh Public Schools voting districts? Or review Jim O'Toole's Sunday story on approval of gay marriage bills in four states? Or a Legal Intelligencer preview of how Kathleen Kane will handle AG duties?

Or there's always re-watching Petraeus biographer Paula Broadwell on the Daily Show (with bonus clip of Stewart in push-up contest with her husband Scott at 7:30 in, with some bad words to watch at about 10:00):

Robert Murray, the Ohio coal company owner who (according to employees) forced them to attend a Romney rally in August read workers a post-election prayer on Wednesday. Then laid off 154 of them.

From the WashPost:

Robert E. Murray read a prayer to a group of company staff members on the day after the election, lamenting the direction of the country and asking: "Lord, please forgive me and anyone with me in Murray Energy Corp. for the decisions that we are now forced to make to preserve the very existence of any of the enterprises that you have helped us build."

On Wednesday, Murray also laid off 54 people at American Coal, one of his subsidiary companies, and 102 at Utah American Energy, blaming a "war on coal" by the administration of President Barack Obama."

Though it didn't matter in the end, voter turnout in Democratic Pa voting precincts decreased slightly on Tuesday while it ticked up in Republican ones, writes Andrew McGill:

But at the local level, many of the classic turnout trends still apply. Grayer, wealthier communities -- Thornburg, Ben Avon Heights and Bradford Woods -- will always beat out the McKees Rocks and the Millvales in turnout. The five worst-performing communities had an average median income of just over $29,000, while the top five towns had $104,000.

Turnout in communities with a sizeable minority population also compared poorly to whiter towns, though engagement among both dropped by about the same amount from 2008. The voting precinct with the lowest turnout -- just 15 percent -- sits in a corner of the Hill District.

Kathleen Kane -- the first Democrat and woman elected state attorney general -- was the biggest winner Tuesday, collecting more votes statewide than Barack Obama or Bob Casey. Laura Olson points to this interesting bit:

That resonance surrounding her Sandusky probe critique could be seen in Centre County's results in particular. In the Central Pennsylvania home of Penn State, the county's voters split evenly over the presidential race and broke for Democratic U.S. Sen. Bob Casey by a slim margin.

But in the attorney general's contest, voters in Centre County had an overwhelming preference: 56 percent for Ms. Kane to Republican David Freed's 40 percent.

In a state House race in Allegheny/Washington counties, the Republican incumbent Rick Saccone is up less than 40 votes over the seat's former officeholder Dave Levdansky. Paula Ward and Janice Crompton have all the scenarios (including how recanvassing could work).

Here's my story on how Western Pa congressional districts outside Pittsburgh -- reflected in Keith Rothfus' win -- could stay GOP for a long time, despite Democratic gains statewide. Below is Julia Rendelman's nice shot of Rothfus hugging his father, Earl.
