Election 2022

Five weeks after Election Day, winning candidates in Pennsylvania from governor to Congress are waiting for their victories to become official.

Spending in Pennsylvania’s 2022 gubernatorial race blew past the record set eight years ago.

Voters with no religious affiliation supported Democratic candidates and abortion rights by staggering percentages in the 2022 midterm elections. And the religiously unaffiliated are growing. Twenty-nine percent of U.S. adults identified as atheist, agnostic or "nothing in particular" in a 2021 report by the Pew Research Center — up 10 percentage points in a decade.

The Democrat is not the only governor-to-be who has given donors plum positions ahead of his inauguration, but some say the practice highlights the need to get money out of politics.

Some conservative activists are still trying to cast doubt on the results in 2022, while Harrisburg politicians are arguing about what those outcomes mean for 2023. The result may not be chaos, exactly. But things may get messy for a while.

Only scattered challenges to certification of the midterm election have been reported in the United States, and not a single one is based on any problems with the accuracy of the results. The biggest certification challenge comes in a lightly populated county in southeastern Arizona.

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that undated and incorrectly dated mail ballots should not be counted in the Nov. 8 midterm election, a decision that is now being challenged in federal court.

When John Fetterman goes to Washington in January as one of the Senate’s new members, he’ll bring along his style from Pennsylvania. It's one that extends from his own personal and very casual dress code to hanging marijuana flags outside his current office in the state Capitol.

Two state lawmakers ran for reelection while also seeking different elected positions during the midterms. This totally legal strategy will put Pennsylvania House Democrats in a bind come January.

Officials in a northeastern Pennsylvania county where paper shortages caused Election Day ballot problems are deadlocked on whether to report official vote tallies to the state. The tie vote on Monday effectively prevents Luzerne County's certification of the Nov. 8 election results.
