30. The suspense is painful... and with provisionals, it will probably be at least a week...

And I'm guessing there is little doubt that there will be a recount.

If it ends up being a razor thin loss, still good, but a Lamb WIN would really shake things up!

Fingers crossed. For others who want to check in for latest count, here are results reported by PA dept of state:

And ABC Radio seems to be posting frequent updates. Westmoerland absentees are now reported. Lamb still ahead, but only by 579. Your county should be finished with absentees by tomorrow am, and Greene tomorrow (but not a lot of votes there to worry about). But, provisionals are all still out. Yikes!

P.S. I hope Democratic party monitors are keeping a close eye. In a Republican stronghold, I fear there could be some big thumbs around trying to tip the balance. (Don't need a big conspiracy... just a few rank and file die hards with few scruples in the "right places."
