Pennsylvania Senate Race Heads to Recount Amid Tight Contest
TL;DR Summary
A recount has been ordered in the Pennsylvania Senate race where Republican Dave McCormick leads incumbent Democrat Bob Casey by a slim margin of 0.43%. The recount is mandated by state law for races with margins under 0.5%. Despite the Associated Press calling the race for McCormick, Casey has not conceded, hoping that outstanding provisional and overseas votes might alter the outcome. Historically, recounts rarely change election results, with only three reversals occurring in nearly 7,000 races since 2000.
