Regardless of the winners and losers in the primary on Tuesday, Beaver County is celebrating a successful day of voting. The Commissioners and Law Department spoke about the election at the Work Session at the courthouse on Wednesday.

“The election yesterday went really smooth here in Beaver County,” said solicitor Garen Fedeles. “They are currently counting 8,875 mail-in ballots…of those, 1,625 were Republican and 7,250 votes were Democrat. The hope is that they have that completed by today.”

Fedeles acknowledged that there was minor issues with certain vote scanners being jammed, but reiterated that the overall election process was smooth.

“I just want to thank the volunteers who are downstairs counting the ballots,” Commissioner Tony Amadio added. “I don’t know how we would do it without them volunteering downstairs, and I think they need to be thanked.

The next Commissioners’ work session is scheduled for May 25 at 10:00 AM at the Beaver County Courthouse.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Heart surgeon-turned-TV celebrity Dr. Mehmet Oz and former hedge fund CEO David McCormick are locked in a too-early-to-call race for Pennsylvania’s hotly contested Republican nomination for an open U.S. Senate seat. Vote counting continues Wednesday. Some counties have yet to tabulate mail-in ballots in the presidential battleground state. Counting of provisional, overseas and military absentee ballots could last all week. There is no runoff law in Pennsylvania. But the race was close enough to trigger Pennsylvania’s automatic recount law. Oz has been helped by an endorsement from former President Donald Trump. Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman won the Democratic nomination as he recovered from a stroke he suffered Friday.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Doug Mastriano has won the Republican nomination for governor of Pennsylvania. Mastriano beat eight other candidates in Tuesday’s primary election and a party establishment that had tried to head off his coming victory over fears that he is too extreme to win fall’s general election in the presidential battleground. Mastriano, a retired U.S. Army colonel and state senator since 2019 who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump, will face Democrat Josh Shapiro in the November election. Mastriano and Shapiro are vying for the right to succeed Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf, who is constitutionally term-limited Mastriano was well on his way to victory when Trump endorsed him on Saturday.
