WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The unofficial results in the race for the U.S. Senate seat in Pennsylvania have triggered a legally required statewide recount, Commonwealth Secretary Al Schmidt said on Wednesday.
Democratic Senator Bob Casey and Republican Dave McCormick have vote totals within the one-half of 1 percent margin that triggers a mandatory recount under state law, Schmidt said in a statement.
