The Pennsylvania Senate race between incumbent Democrat Bob Casey and Republican challenger Dave McCormick is heading to a recount, as announced by Pennsylvania Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt on Wednesday. The race has been incredibly tight, with unofficial results showing it to be within the one-half of one percent margin required to trigger a recount under state law.
Currently, McCormick holds a lead of less than 30,000 votes over Casey, a margin that has been narrowing since Election Night. Despite this, McCormick has already attended new senator orientation in Washington this week, indicating confidence in his position.
