The U.S. Senate election in Pennsylvania between Democratic incumbent Sen. Bob Casey and Republican David McCormick is heading for a statewide recount. The Associated Press had initially called the race for McCormick, but with a narrow margin between the candidates, a recount has been triggered under Pennsylvania law.
As of the latest count, McCormick leads by approximately 28,000 votes out of over 6.9 million ballots cast, falling within the 0.5% margin threshold for an automatic statewide recount. The recount process involves running paper ballots through high-speed scanners, with experts suggesting that the outcome may only change by a few hundred votes.
