Steelton, Pa. — Most election forecasters predict that this year's presidential election will come down to Pennsylvania. But don't expect to know the results on Election Day, thanks to an election law that bars officials from processing mail-in ballots until the morning of November 5.
The closer the margin, the longer results could take. In 2020, Biden won Pennsylvania by roughly 80,000 votes and the state wasn't called until Saturday morning — four days after the election. Four years later, a post–Election Day call in the Keystone State could fuel doubt in the results.
"If the mail-in ballots aren't counted the day of the election, I don't care who wins — the other side is not going to accept it, and it will lead to more division in our country," Cambria County GOP chair Jackie Kulback said in an interview. "And I am scared by the level of divisiveness we're dealing with right now."
She's not the only Republican who's sounding the alarm. Sitting with National Review aboard his campaign bus here in Steelton, Pa., last Thursday, Republican Senate candidate Dave McCormick expressed concern that it may take days for election officials to call the presidential election here — arguably the most competitive presidential battleground in the country, which Donald Trump won narrowly in 2016 and lost narrowly in 2020.
"I'm deeply worried about it," the ex-Bridgewater CEO said in a wide-ranging sit-down interview with NR. He pointed to recent comments made by . . .
