One week after the Pennsylvania primary election, Dr. Mehmet Oz, the Trump-endorsed Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, maintained a nearly 1,000-vote lead on his opponent, establishment-endorsed candidate David McCormick.

As of Tuesday morning, 99 percent of the votes from the Keystone State’s May 17 election were counted. All of the counties’ unofficial vote tallies, including the remaining one percent, are due to the Pennsylvania Department of State by 5 p.m. on Tuesday where they will be reviewed for an automatic recount.

Oz has carried the lead for the last seven days, but Pennsylvania’s dragging primary election results have been deemed too close to call. Regardless of the outcome of the Republican showdown, Pennsylvania’s dawdling election tally system requires serious attention and reform.
