Does anyone know if the PA-18 recount is over?
I don’t believe there is a recount happening. There is no trigger for an automatic recountin Pennsylvania - even a one-vote margin doesn’t trigger one.
I think the Republicans are considering a number of legal options to try to force a recount, but I don’t think any of them have really gotten off the ground yet.
My guess is, the GOP will let Lamb take his seat, knowing that there is an election in 7 months anyway, and that the 18th isn’t going to exist anymore.
It will be interesting to see where Lamb runs in November. He’s shown himself to be a strong candidate, capable of winning in a heavy R district. The 18th is getting split into the new 14th - even more Republican; and the new 17th which is much, much more favorable to the Democrats.
Lamb likely wins the new 17th but it would need to be a HUGE wave for him to win the 14th.
