LANCASTER, Pa. — When Pennsylvania’s GOP Senate contest is finally decided, it will come down to a thing Republicans love to hate when it’s convenient — mail-in voting.
But in this case, the mail-in ballots still being counted will prove to be decisive for either Mehmet Oz, the Donald Trump-backed TV doctor, or David McCormick, the former hedge fund executive.
Both candidates are waiting for the remaining non-Election Day votes to be tabulated, with Oz holding a slight lead. The race was too close to call as of Wednesday morning.

At their election night parties on opposite ends of the state, both Oz and McCormick were confident.
Pennsylvania Republicans had a much different reaction in 2020, when former President Donald Trump prevailed with the bulk of in-person votes, but President Joe Biden won the mail-in vote, propelling his close victory in the state and Trump’s subsequent failed frenzy to prove there was voter fraud.

1. it's spelled H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-S-Y. Mail-in ballots are only bad when Democrats win
This primary is really douche canoe v. turd burger.
7. Now they are also okay with a foreign-born Muslim, because their orange god-emperor is okay
The key to both men’s political entree seems to be longevity as a TV star.
That an a rank hypocrisy that would gag a goat.
