US Midterms: Pennsylvania Secretary Of State Pleads For Patience During Counting Process

Pennsylvania’s acting secretary of state, Leigh M. Chapman, said it will take “a few days” for the state’s unofficial election results to be complete, and called on “voters, candidates and the media” to be patient.

Eko Hot Blog reports that Chapman said at a news conference in the state capital, Harrisburg, “Election officials in all 67 counties are well aware that the eyes of the nation are on the Keystone State tonight and they are counting as fast as they can.”

”But they are also prioritizing accuracy over speed, as they should.”

Chapman, a Democrat, cited “a handful of typical election day incidents,” including a few polling places opening late, power outages, and a gas leak. But she said that “all were quickly handled.”

“In a very dynamic environment, Pennsylvania once again executed a free, fair and secure election,” Chapman said.
