The Day After the Primaries: PA GOP Senate Primary Too Close to Call With 'Tens of Thousands' of Mail-in Ballots Still Outstanding
PJ Media ^ | 05/18/2022 | Paula Bolyard

The Pennsylvania GOP Senate primary has yet to be decided, and the final result may come down to tens of thousands of outstanding mail-in ballots that won’t be counted until Wednesday.

Currently, businessman Dave McCormick leads Trump-endorsed TV doctor Mehmet Oz by about 1,700 votes, well within the margin for a mandatory recount.

Upstart candidate Kathy Barnette, who appeared to be gaining ground on her competitors early in the night, is currently at 24.7%

Just before midnight local time, McCormick told supporters, “We had a pretty good day today. I want to thank you all so much for your support for what’s happened across Pennsylvania today. There’s been a huge outpouring of support. We knew it, we felt it on the ground, we knew it was working, we knew our message to take back this country was resonating in Pennsylvania and they showed it today and we’re so incredibly grateful.”

He thanked supporters and predicted that he will prevail in the race. “Right now, we have tens of thousands of mail-in ballots that have not been counted, that are going to need to be counted tomorrow, and so that, unfortunately, we’re not going to have resolution tonight. But we can see the path ahead, we can see victory ahead, and it’s all because of you.”

“We’re gonna take back this country. We’re going to take back this state,” he declared.

Speaking to supporters, Oz credited Trump and Sean Hannity for his success in the race and thanked both men for their support. He predicted that he will be the next senator from Pennsylvania.

The winner of the GOP primary will face progressive John Fetterman in November.

Completely unacceptable to not have a result the night of the election. Zero reason to 1) allow these crazy mail-in ballots & 2) if you have to have them, there is ZERO reason for them to not be tabulated and counted before election night.

It’s a shame we didn’t hear more about Sands and Bartos. Political candidates are completely at the mercy of the MSM to give them exposure.

On the Warroom show, Steve Bannon said that the Oz campaign headquarters ballroom was closed to the public and was “invitation only”. How elitist can you get? At this point, I hope McCormick steals it.

Stop ALL mail in ballots/voting.

Only absentee voting allowed.

Mail in balloting is a fraud waiting to happen.

See the 2020 general election for more proof.

As of this writing, you are right. But when the article was written, it was different. A matter of hours or even minutes can change the tally.

This is the reason the gop was okay with mail in ballots...gave them the opportunity to cheat as well...

Two things wrong with this! There is no runoff election. The second is that there are way too many absentee ballots to process. Many states in the US are less capable of running elections than most third world countries.

In Texas we limit absentee voting by having in person early voting. This greatly decreases the number of people needing to apply for absentee ballots. Early votes, along with all the absentee ballots already received, get counted the weekend before election day. They are then reported promptly at poll closing time on election day. In Texas most counties have completed counting votes by about 10 pm.

In the battle between Oz and McCormick, I’m for McCormick. I’ll vote for Oz if he wins but I’d prefer McCormick.

Can people see it now that we can’t ever think that an election is going to fix America? We can’t even run a decent election anymore.

In 2022 and 2024 the Democrats will cheat as they always do because they know they can do it and nobody will stop them from doing it.

After they steal more elections they will spit in your face and continue handing the US over to a World Government. By then, voting will no longer be an option.

Can you tell us why McCormick is preferable?
