Pennsylvania 18th District Special Election Too Close to Call
March 13, 2018
It's a nail-biter in Pennsylvania's 18th district tonight. With 99% of the vote reporting, Democrat Conor Lamb leads by about 0.4% over Republican Rick Saccone.
It looks like what is left is a couple precincts in Westmoreland County and some absentee ballots, most of which will apparently be counted tonight.
The AP has indicated that it is not prepared to make a call tonight due to the possibility of a recount.
ADVISORY: The Associated Press is not declaring a winner in Tuesday's special election for PA's 18th CD because the race between Democrat Conor Lamb and Republican Rick Saccone is too close to call.

Under PA state law, supporters of the trailing candidate can request a recount.
