“As the first count of ballots is completed, Pennsylvanians can move forward with the knowledge that their voices were heard, whether their vote was the first to be counted or the last,” he added.

The Associated Press projected McCormick to win the tight race on Nov. 7, but Casey refused to acknowledge defeat for more than two weeks.
