I can't resist a political event, so I couldn't wait to follow yesterday's election results on TV. I really didn't know what to expect, and I realized fairly early on that the race was too close to call so I wasn't up late following it.
According to both the New York Times, Fox News and other news sources, Democrat Conor Lamb may have defeated Republican Rick Saccone. As of 30 minutes or so ago, Lamb was leading Saccone by 0.3 percent. There is no mandatory recount in Pennsylvania; in Minnesota, a recount in a federal election is triggered if the difference in the number of votes for the winning candidate and any other candidate is less than 0.25 percent. The next couple of days should be interesting.
The more interesting statistic is that President Trump carried this district by 20 percentage points in the 2016 general election.
