That’s still how it goes at the polls.
I have worked the polls for the last 6 years.
The individual polling places are done within 30-60 minutes after polls close unless you have a very large district or something.
Polling places don’t count the absentee ballots. We put together our results and data and then the judge takes it down to drop it off... never more an 60 minutes after the polls close, usually done in 30-45.
The counting of absentee, and provisional ballots and all that stuff goes on down at the county, never done at the individal polling stations.
This race, is a mess because you have 2 turds, both deemed acceptable by the party establishment who both pretty much have been rejected by the primary voters.
Both Oz and McCormick are turds.. Oz sells in the low information philly suburb women voters... McCormick sells better in the T.. and neither one sells great period.
Both spent around 30 Million each trying to convince the PA GOP primary voters to back them (more individually that both parties spent combined on the last Senate GENERAL election in PA) and neither one of them are any good... So not surprisingly 2 dogs that won’t hunt, wound up showing exactly how bad each of them are..
Said this long ago and stand by it... if Oz or McCormick are the nominee, even with the big red wave coming don’t be surprised in the least if Fetterman wins this seat... They are both LOUSY candidates...
Only way either of them wins is if the D brand is so damaged by Biden and the Economy that a ham sandwich would win as long as it has an R by its name. Otherwise, Fetterman eats either of them for breakfast and craps them out by lunch.
Oz is complete off brand to win this state.. and McCormick is just another boring Bush era Wall Street Republican.. neither are capable of getting the excitement and votes or turnout needed to win PA as a republican. Neither will excite the base.. let alone the independents.
Primary pretty much played out as I would have expected, Oz won generally the Philly area, and McCormick generally did far better in the T. Doesn’t matter who the candidate is... unless this election is not about the candidates at all, neither one is going to win state wide in November.
Opinion on which would be better against the DIMturd?
