Cumberland County, Penn from wiki

For most of its history, Cumberland County has been a Republican Party stronghold in presidential elections, with only seven Democratic Party candidates having managed to win the county from 1888 to the present day. The most recent Democrat to win the county in a presidential election was Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964 as he won in a landslide statewide & nationally. As a testament to the county’s status as a Republican Party stronghold, Barack Obama in 2008 is the lone Democrat to win forty percent of the county’s votes since Johnson’s 1964 win.

Presidential election results
As of November 2008, there are 152,408 registered voters in Cumberland County.[15]

Republican: 78,568 (51.55%)
Democratic: 52,887 (34.70%)
Other Parties: 20,953 (13.75%)
The Republican Party has been dominant in Cumberland County politics since before the American Civil War, with the victories of Robert P. Casey for governor in 1990, Bob Casey Jr. for state treasurer in 2004 and Tom Wolf for governor in 2018 being among the few times where a statewide Democrat carried the county. The county commissioner majority, all row offices, and all legislative seats serving Cumberland are held by Republicans.

If Trump is leading PA at midnight, Cumberland County absentee ballots won’t matter.
