PENNSYLVANIA – The Bob Casey for Senate campaign released the following statement on the ongoing vote count in Pennsylvania, as ballot processing continues across the Commonwealth. 
 

Statement from Maddy McDaniel, spokesperson for Bob Casey for Senate: 

“As state officials have made clear, counties across Pennsylvania are still processing ballots and need time to tabulate remaining votes. There are more than 100,000 ballots left to be counted – including tens of thousands of provisional ballots in counties favorable to Senator Casey – and just yesterday, officials reaffirmed that tens of thousands of mail ballots remain. Pennsylvanians deserve to have their voices heard, and the process of tabulating votes will continue in the coming days.”
 

What to Know: 

  • Media outlets and election analysts believe the Associated Press called the Pennsylvania Senate race prematurely.
    • The Associated Press said their model has changed since their race call and their estimated total of outstanding votes has increased by almost 20,000 votes. 
    • The New York TimesNBCCNNABCCBS, and DecisionDesk have not called the Pennsylvania Senate race. 
  • Counting continues in Pennsylvania as more than 100,000 ballots remain to be counted. Analysts predict the provisional ballots left to count are “largely pro-Casey” – including mail ballots and tens of thousands of provisional ballots in counties that likely overwhelmingly favor Senator Casey.
    • Yesterday, new reporting showed there are 18,600 mail ballots left to count.
    • There are thousands of ballots cast by likely Casey supporters that are being cured. 
    • Philadelphia County has announced around 20,000 provisional ballots. 
    • Allegheny County has announced 12,680 provisional ballots.
    • Montgomery County has announced 6,500 provisional ballots. 
    • Chester County has announced more than 3,500 provisional ballots and more than 1,800 military and overseas ballots. 
    • Bucks County has announced roughly 5,200 provisional ballots, 2,500 uncounted mail ballots, and up to 3,000 military ballots.
    • In 2022, provisional ballots broke overwhelmingly for Senator Fetterman – and at a higher margin than the Casey campaign needs to win. 
  • McCormick’s campaign filed an unsuccessful lawsuit challenging 20,000 provisional ballots in Philadelphia that the filing said could “impact…the outcome of the election.” Then, his campaign barred reporters from asking questions about the litigation during his press conference.
