Pennsylvania’s top election official warned that there will be delays in counting midterm votes next month, declaring that results won’t be delivered on Election Night.

Acting Secretary of State Leigh Chapman, a Democrat, this week told a local NPR station that “it’s really important for us to get accurate information about the election process in Pennsylvania.” That delay, she alleged, will be because election workers cannot pre-canvas or count mail-in ballots before Nov. 8, the date of the midterm elections.
