HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — The counting from Pennsylvania’s first foray into mass voting by mail is wrapping up a week after the primary, with results of some of races still up in the air. State and county elections officials said Tuesday there were a few comparatively minor issues during the voting, which featured new paper-trail machines in some counties and a crushing demand for mail-in ballots under a state law passed last year. At least five incumbent state lawmakers lost their primaries and three others are in close contests. Elections officials say some improvements to the vote-counting process should be made before November, when the presidential race is sure to bring high turnout.
