Editor's Note: This story was updated at 10:15 p.m. with the most recent results available.

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, PA — It is a little after 10 p.m. and some results have been trickling in for the 4th Congressional District race in Pennsylvania.

The race for Pennsylvania's 4th Congressional District is between Democratic incumbent U.S. Rep. Madeleine Dean and Republican challenger Christian Nascimento.

The 4th Congressional District covers all of Montgomery County just outside of Philadelphia.

As of 10:15 p.m., Dean had 76,187 votes to her Republican challenger's 19,267, according to unofficial results from the website of the Pennsylvania Department of State.

Below is from our earlier story:

Nascimento is a businessman trying to oust Dean, an incumbent from Montgomery County who rose from Abington Township commissioner and state representative before being elected to Congress.

Election returns are expected to start coming in for this and other state and federal races throughout the night on Tuesday following the closure of polls, but even unofficial results are not anticipated to be ready by night's end due to a laborious process to count mail-in ballots since Pennsylvania recently greatly expanded mail-in voting.

While many results likely won't be ready by Tuesday evening in Pennsylvania, in the coming days Patch will bring you up to date information about the results in state and local election races.

Disclaimer: All election results reported on Tuesday night are unofficial and totals may change. State election officials say it could take days for actual, official results to be tallied, due to things like mail-in voting. And it then takes 20 days after the election for Pennsylvania to certify its results.
