Preliminary Election Results
The preliminary results for Tuesday’s Primary Election have been tabulated. At press time, more than 99% of Pennsylvania’s election precincts have reported results, and 91% of mail-in and absentee ballots have been counted so the final numbers will not be significantly different from these results. More Democrats voted than Republicans yesterday, but the overall turnout was only around ¼ of eligible voters.
The presumptive nominees for President both won handily with Joe Biden receiving the support of 93% of Democratic Voters and 83.5% of Republicans supporting Donald Trump over Nikki Haley. The United States Senate Race will pit incumbent Democrat Bob Casey against David McCormick. Elections for statewide officials will see Eugene Depesquale run against David Sunday for Attorney General, Malcolm Kenyatta as a Democrat Challenger to Auditor General Timothy DeFoor, and Erin McClelland challenging Republican Stacy Garrity for Treasurer. More results, such as the races for state and federal representatives, can be found at ElectionReturns.pa.gov.
