PA Might Have GOP Senate Primary Results June 8 & OR’s a Mess

Officials in Pennsylvania can’t seem to count the US GOP Senate primary ballots. The counters stopped counting and it’s dragged on for days, remaining at 99% for about three days. The officials now say it’s too close to call with just over 1,000 votes in Dr. Oz’s favor.

The race will likely go to a recount, and we might get results by June 8. Donald Trump told Dr. Oz to declare victory and the people went wild with anger.

The race is between two candidates – Dr. Oz and Mr. McCormick. Dr. Oz is Donald Trump’s choice. His opponent, David McCormick, a venture capitalist, is McConnell’s choice.

OREGON’S A MESS

It’s worse in Oregon, the state that prides itself on efficient, transparent mail-in ballot elections. They had a ballot-printing error that will delay results by weeks. A key US House race hangs in the balance.

Tens of thousands of ballots in the stateโ€™s third-largest county were printed with blurred barcodes, making them unreadable by vote-counting machines. The error wasn’t caught until ballots were already being returned. Elections workers must now hand-transfer the votes from those ballots to new ones that can be read in a painstaking process that also raises the possibility of duplication errors.

The person who made the mistake wasย Clackamas County Elections Clerk Sherry Hall. People in Oregon are angry.ย Itโ€™s thrown into question a key U.S. House race.

In the Democratic primary for Oregonโ€™s 5th Congressional District, seven-term Rep. Kurt Schrader, a moderate, was trailing in the vote behind progressive challenger Jamie McLeod-Skinner. The outcome could have an outsized impact in November, with the possibility that voters could flip the seat for the GOP.

Hall at a news conference Friday said she made mistakes. She knew in May and did nothing. Ms. Hall was asked why she did nothing and said, โ€œI just didn’t.โ€

Okay then.
