Democrats sweep Pittsburgh, oust Republican incumbents in PA election
Pittsburgh residents cast their votes in Pennsylvania's primary election on May 19, electing numerous incumbents and making way for several new leaders in state positions.
Democrats overwhelming took the vote, winning 26 of 27 key races in Allegheny County. Most notably, voters backed Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro, who will attempt to win a second term this fall, while several newcomers unseated incumbents as state representatives.
Voter turnout was relatively low, with 22.7% of Allegheny's 915,194 registered voters casting their votes, according to the county. In total, there were 207,755 ballots cast.
Here are the unofficial results in key races in Allegheny County as of May 20 morning, with 1,322 of 1,327 precincts reporting. Names in bold show the top vote-getters in their party; not every race had both a Democratic and Republican candidate.
