PHILADELPHIA — A recount in Pennsylvania’s Republican Senate primary is expected to be announced by the state’s top elections official at a news conference Wednesday afternoon.
Acting Secretary of State Leigh M. Chapman will “provide an update on the need for a recount” at 2 p.m. Eastern time Friday in the Capitol, the Pennsylvania Department of State said in an email advisory Tuesday afternoon.
A recount is all but certain, triggered by a state law that requires a recount when the margin of victory is within 0.5% of the total vote.
