PA Vote Tidbits For Wednesday Night 11/4/20

[modrepub]

Just pulling the PA State Department election returns for a quick summary before I turn in.

Trump up by about 209k as of 8:24 PM

The following counties have not recorded any mail in ballots in their totals: Blair, Columbia, Crawford, Greene, Juniata, Tioga, Venango and York (generally Republican and small except for York and maybe Blair)

Most counties have finished their counts leaving only the more populated counties with some outstanding votes from Tuesday. Mail ins will continue to come in until Friday and be counted.

I'll list a couple of observations on the bigger counties.

Philadelphia: about 130k mail in ballots outstanding
Allegheny: about 40k mail in ballots outstanding
Montgomery: about 15k mail in ballots outstanding
Delaware: less than 10k mail in ballots outstanding

There are about 573k votes counted in Philadelphia with 1.13M registered voters so there may still be some election day ballots to count (total vote from 2016 was a shade under 700k).

In Allegheny County there are about 650k votes counted. There are 943k registered voters in the county but it's less skewed Democratic than Philadelphia. In 2016 Allegheny County's total votes were about 625k. Last I heard the Steelers were sending dinner to the vote counters so there may still be votes to tally there but maybe not as many as Philly.

Trump still has an even chance of carrying PA but they're still counting and let's hope Philly will be unmolested to finish. There's a good chance all votes from Tuesday will be tallied tomorrow. Keep in mind there are still votes coming in that could be counted if they are postmarked on or before the 3rd. Hang on and good night.
