Sen Kelly: My friend Bob Casey is in the fight and Pennsylvanians deserve to have their voices heard.

Captain Mark Kelly
It’s important to be patient as votes are counted across Pennsylvania.

My friend Bob Casey is in the fight and Pennsylvanians deserve to have their voices heard.

Bob Casey Jr.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it now. It’s a beautiful day to count every vote.

4. IMO the important question is whether the gap gets narrowed to 0.5% -- currently at 0.61%

Automatic recount is triggered by 0.5%.
So although the gap is 41,156 votes, Casey just needs about 7500 votes to trigger an automatic recount.
In recent years, recounts have tended to be favorable for democrats.

5. Currently there's about 19,000 absentees not yet counted; overseas military have until Tuesday for ballot to get there

Have not counted 1.02% of 1,959,702 votes. https://www.pa.gov/content/dam/copapwp-pagov/en/vote/elections/pados_enrsupplementalboard_2024general.pdf

If the advantage of about 25% to 30% for democrats held true for those remaining absentees, it would add 4,800 to 5,700 to the gap — probably not enough to trigger an automatic recount.

A recount can also be requested if candidate is willing to pay for it.

9. I looked at PA website. According to NYT 38 minutes ago, gap is 40,238 votes...state reports

NYT shows 3,369,658 for the republican and 3,329,420 for Casey (D). That’s a gap of 40,238 which they say it is 0.58%. So to get to 0.5% he probably needs roughly 5600 votes improvement in the gap.

The PA website currently shows 3,370,337 for the republican and 3,329,604 for Casey. A gap of 40,733.

6. I believe they said 120K which must include provisional ballots too.

Love the military, but don’t think 120K are in Pennsylvania.
