PHILADELPHIA — We probably won’t need to stay up all night this Election Day.
The May 17 Pennsylvania primary elections shouldn’t create anything like the dayslong anxiety of November 2020, when the counting of mail ballots dragged on. There’s a very good chance we’ll know the Democratic and Republican nominees for Senate and governor a few hours after polls close.
As always, things can change, races can be unexpectedly close. At the moment, though, you can expect a whole lot of votes to be counted by the end of the night. (Razor-thin margins in crowded GOP primaries for Senate and governor could change that.)
