As of now, Dr. Oz leads David McCormick by around 2,000 or so votes in the PA GOP Primary. Will that lead hold when all the ballots are counted? No one knows, as there are still around 30,000 mail-in ballots left to count. Once again, the problem with mail-in ballots rears it’s ugly head. If the final margin of victory is 0.5% or lower, it triggers an automatic recount in Pennsylvania.
The results of the Republican primary for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania depend largely on about 30,000 mail-in ballots that have not yet been counted as of Wednesday at noon.
Dr. Mehmet Oz currently holds a 2,463-vote lead over McCormick with more than 95 percent of votes reported, according to the New York Times.
