Voting and elections are on almost everyoneโ€™s mind right now, and thatโ€™s theme of the September edition of Billy Penn Philly Quizzo.

Hosted in partnership with the Philadelphia chapter of the nonpartisan nonprofit League of Women Voters, the live trivia game went down on Wednesday, Sept. 16. More than 50 people joined us on Zoom, splitting into 17 teams to test their knowledge.

After cohosts Danya Henninger and Sakeenah Benjamin took the group through our three rounds of Past, Present and Future โ€” interspersed with a great mix by DJ Bounce Gawd โ€” we ended up with a tie.

Teams โ€œEdith Wilson 2020โ€ and โ€œAliceโ€™s Momsโ€ battled it out with a lightning round bonus question, and the Bryn Mawr couple behind Team Edith (named after a onetime first lady) took home the prize: a $50 gift card to Bookerโ€™s Restaurant on Baltimore Avenue.

Now itโ€™s your turn. Without using Google, can you beat their high score of 21/24?
