Collett Vs. Davies: PA 12th Senatorial District Results

Editor's Note: This story was updated a little after 9 Wednesday morning.

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, PA — It is the day after the general election, and State Sen. Maria Collett of the 12th District appears to have a significant vote lead over Republican challenger Rob Davies.

State Sen. Maria Collett, a Democrat, was facing a challenge from Republican candidate Rob Davies.

More information about both candidates can be found in the above web links.

As of around 9 a.m. Wednesday., Collett had 76,475 votes and Davies had 51,768 votes, according to unofficial results on the website of the Pennsylvania Department of State.

Counting ceased around 2 a.m. Wednesday, but more votes are expected to be tallied for each candidate given outstanding mail-in and provisional ballots.

Below is from our earlier story:

Under redistricting lines, the new 12th Senatorial District includes the boroughs of Ambler, Bryn Athyn, Hatboro, Hatfield, Lansdale and Souderton, and the Montgomery County side of Telford, as well as the townships of Franconia, Hatfield, Horsham, Lower Gwynedd, Lower Moreland, Montgomery, Plymouth, Salford, Upper Dublin, Upper Moreland, Whitpain, and Worcester.

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.
