Recount begins in Pa.'s GOP primary for Senate
HARRISBURG, Pa. - Recounting began Friday in the too-close-to-call Republican primary contest for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania, with barely 900 votes separating celebrity heart surgeon Dr.
Mehmet Oz and former hedge fund CEO David McCormick.Montour County began the recount Friday, one of seven counties that said they would start right away.
Most of Pennsylvania's 67 counties have said they will begin next week, with a Wednesday deadline to start.For less populated counties, the process could take a day.
More heavily populated counties say they will need several days.Counties have until June 7 to finish a recount and another day to report results to the state.The initial result from last week’s primary election has remained elusive, since some counties were still tallying up hundreds or thousands of remaining ballots Friday, including write-in, provisional and absentee ballots from voters overseas and members of the military.Oz, who is endorsed by former President Donald Trump, led McCormick by just 923 votes, or 0.07 percentage points, out of more than 1.3 million ballots reported by the state Friday.The race has triggered Pennsylvania’s automatic recount law, with the separation between the candidates inside the law’s 0.5% margin.
