Pennsylvania General Election Results Countdown: Key Races to Watch
As Pennsylvania gears up for the general election on November 5, voters will be tasked with selecting candidates for offices including president, U.S. Congress, and several state row offices such as attorney general, auditor general, and state treasurer. Polls close at 8 p.m., with initial results expected shortly thereafter.
Spotlight PA will offer updated election results in line with the Associated Press’s official call for races, ensuring accurate and reliable information. The AP’s decisive calls might not be available on election night due to various factors affecting vote counting across the state.
Notably, the Pennsylvania ballot includes four presidential candidates: Republican Donald Trump, Democrat Kamala Harris, Green Party’s Jill Stein, and Libertarian Chase Oliver. In the U.S. Senate race, Democratic incumbent Sen. Bob Casey faces Republican David McCormick, alongside several third-party challengers.
Crucial state-level offices are also in contention. The race for attorney general opens up after Michelle Henry, who was appointed to fill Josh Shapiro’s seat, opts not to run. Candidates include Democrat Eugene DePasquale and Republican Dave Sunday, with several third-party contenders. The auditor general seat features incumbent Tim DeFoor battling Democrat Malcolm Kenyatta, while Treasurer Stacy Garrity goes against Democrat Erin McClelland.
Voter engagement remains critical, with resources like Spotlight PA’s sample ballot tool available to tailor the election experience based on individual addresses.
