What Went Down During The May 17 Primary Elections

This really gives you a sense of just how different the GOP primary results in Pennsylvania could look once the election day vote drops.

Not every county in PA is counting mail/same day votes in votes in the same sequence. Cambria just released its same day *first* and it’s very different from the mail we’ve seen elsewhere:
Mastriano 52%
McSwain 21%
Barletta 11%

Fetterman looks to have won the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania, but it’s much too early to make much of what’s happening in the GOP primary. So far, McCormick leads with 32 percent, ahead of the Trump-backed Oz with 24 percent and Barnette with about 20 percent. However, lots of rural counties haven’t reported much yet, and that’s where we might expect Oz and Barnette to do best — Oz because of Trump’s endorsement and Barnette because of her strong conservative positions.
