Pennsylvania’s Senate race is heading to a recount, with the narrow margin between Republican Dave McCormick and Democratic Sen. Bob Casey triggering it automatically under state law. Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt announced Wednesday that the unofficial results showing a narrow race have led to a recount. Schmidt noted in his announcement that counties must begin the recount no later than Nov. 20, and they must complete the process by noon on Nov. 26.
Lot more votes to count,' he said Wednesday in the Capitol. Casey said in a Tuesday statement that “the American democratic process was born in Pennsylvania and that process will play out.” Former President Donald Trump carried Pennsylvania, helping him lock up enough electoral votes for the presidency. But the current vote count shows a sizable drop-off between Trump and McCormick, with Trump winning more than 100,000 additional votes than McCormick.
