Democrats won all three vacant Pittsburgh-area House seats to claim a slim edge over Republicans, finally securing a majority they first appeared to have won in November.

Democrats won more seats during the November 2022 midterm election, but three vacancies mean Republicans have a functional majority.

Pennsylvania's top elections official fully certified results from the November vote late last week after recount petitions in some counties had delayed the process.

Pennsylvania has what lawmakers say is the most diverse incoming class of lawmakers in state history.

The judge rejected her claim that problems with some ballot printers were the result of intentional misconduct.

The three Dem vacancies have given the GOP hopes of maintaining majority status early next year, if only for a few weeks or several months.

Bucks County government spokesman Jim O'Malley said its Board of Elections wrapped up certification, although litigation over recount requests has not ended.

Chester County Judge Jeffrey Sommer rejected the “free-wheeling audit of cherry-picked precincts” as Bucks, Delaware, and Montgomery counties grapple with similar petitions.

In Pennsylvania, a handful of the state's 67 counties have delayed certification because of recounts demanded by local conspiracy theorists in scattered precincts.

Challenges organized or supported by conservative groups are being pursued weeks after the election without evidence of problems that might change the results.

During the 2022 PA election, counties weren't allowed to count undated or incorrectly dated mail ballots.

No fraud or tampering was found, but the Mercer County prosecutors found miscommunication between Dominion Voting Systems and ballot printers.

Two days after an executive order delayed municipal run-off elections by a week, Mercer County announced it had counted all emergency and mail-in ballots.

After a tight race, Moffa conceded on Thursday evening. He said there weren’t enough challenged provisional ballots for him to gain the majority.

State Rep. Todd Stephens (R., Montgomery) conceded his race in the 151st District on Thursday.
