Tally may bring challenges under Pennsylvania recount rules

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania counties are grinding through ballot counting after a high-turnout election that tested a new vote-by-mail law, as President Donald Trump sought to reverse a winning margin for former Vice President Joe Biden. Preliminary counts due at the close of business Tuesday from counties to the state elections bureau will be watched for how they might affect the presidential race numbers. Thousands of ballots, however, will not make it into those counts. But they’re being watched for how they might affect the presidential race. They also may lead recount requests by precinct. Biden held a 48,000-vote margin Tuesday night. That’s too wide a gap for a mandatory recount.
