Polls are not yet closed in Luzerne county, but as of now Shapiro and Fetterman have roughly 4 to 1 leads over their opposition.

It’s the first time I’ve seen that term outside of r/HermanCainAward.

I expect the carpet bagger and christofascist to take the lead later tonight then the mail votes be counted to swing it to the dems

Then all the reps will cry foul because they lost and that's just unfair

Time will tell if I'm right

Mail in votes are counted first lol

The process of examining exterior envelopes for signatures, dates, postmarks and received stamps, followed by the opening of the exterior envelopes to determine whether the ballot is “naked” (without an interior envelope; if so, it’s not counted), and then the process of counting the mailed ballots, began at 7:00 am. And the counting won’t be completed today almost definitely.

Shapiro has already been called as the winner, nonetheless, because his lead was massive. Fetterman v Oz will take longer because it’s closer.

Even the GOP didn't expect Mastriano to win. It was called so soon because it was clear. And as you said, mail in ballots started at 7am unlike the poll votes which started at poll close

Yep. Most of them have been counted. Just counting the most recent mail in now. Then all the in person. Then the provisional. At least from what I understand.

According to Fox, this is the way. That's why the race hasn't been called

Yep.

It's gonna go:

  1. mail ins for Dems

  2. In person for Republicans

  3. Provisionals/suspect late mail ins that are hotly debated for Dems.

Prayer had nothing to do with it. It was reasonable Pennsylvannians who care about the rights of others

Pray, ironic choice of words.

OP is encouraging the kind of religious enthusiasm that is typically associated with the Republican Party and the candidates that OP and many others on Reddit and ITT are against.

While it is an undeniable trend, I would like to gently remind people that there are plenty of Christians who are ashamed of what the GOP is now, and I don't think there's anything wrong with praying that a psycho scumbag like Mastriano, or a disgustingly rich walking lie like Oz don't get into office.

Plenty of anti-MAGA authoritarians are religious. Josh Shapiro is religious. Biden is religious, as is Obama. (Trump? Lol.) It’s entirely a matter of personal choice and conscience. It’s only a problem when someone tries to impose their religion on others.

You're absolutely right. And while we're at it, let's keep in mind that not all Republicans are voting for Mastriano and Oz. My husband and I used to cancel out each other's votes, but in the past few years, that has changed.

Pray is a funny word because it invokes a god type reference into politics.

Fetterman is in bad shape, needs all the prayers he can get.
