The process of examining exterior envelopes for signatures, dates, postmarks and received stamps, followed by the opening of the exterior envelopes to determine whether the ballot is “naked” (without an interior envelope; if so, it’s not counted), and then the process of counting the mailed ballots, began at 7:00 am. And the counting won’t be completed today almost definitely.

Shapiro has already been called as the winner, nonetheless, because his lead was massive. Fetterman v Oz will take longer because it’s closer.

Even the GOP didn't expect Mastriano to win. It was called so soon because it was clear. And as you said, mail in ballots started at 7am unlike the poll votes which started at poll close

Yep. Most of them have been counted. Just counting the most recent mail in now. Then all the in person. Then the provisional. At least from what I understand.

According to Fox, this is the way. That's why the race hasn't been called

Yep.

It's gonna go:

  1. mail ins for Dems

  2. In person for Republicans

  3. Provisionals/suspect late mail ins that are hotly debated for Dems.
