Republicans fared well in mail-in voting in Warren County – except when it came to the race for president and the U.S. Senate.

That trend changed as polling place returns began coming in.

While county mail voters narrowly favored Republicans in state races, Democrats turned out narrow advantages locally for president and the U.S. Senate. Vice President Kamala Harris held a narrow edge in Warren County after early voting, with 2,157 votes to former President Donald Trump’s 2,075 votes. Bob Casey, one of the state’s two sitting U.S. senators, held an edge over challenger Dave McCormick, 2,154-1,982, in Warren County.

Stacy Garrity, the Republican incumbent state treasurer, narrowly edged challenger Erin McClelland in early voting, 2,099 to 1,953, in Warren County. The trend is holding true in Warren County for Tim DeFoor, the Republican incumbent auditor general, who has a 2,089-1,916 edge over Malcolm Kenyatta in Warren County after early voting.

Dave Sunday, York County district attorney and Republican candidate for state attorney general, holds a 2,161-1,914 edge in Warren County after early voting.

Results from polling places began changing those numbers dramatically.

With about one-third of precincts reporting, Trump held 61.5% of the vote in Warren County while Harris had received 37.7% of the vote; McCormick held a 58.5% to 38.5% lead over Casey, Sunday held a 62.82% to 33.57% lead over DePasquale; DeFoor surged to a 61.64% to 34.39% lead over Kenyatta and Garrity led McClelland 62.4% to 34.53%.

The other federal race that includes Warren County shows incumbent House Rep. Glenn “GT” Thompson with a 2,220-1,879 edge over challenger Zach Womer during mail voting. After one-third of county precincts reported their results, Thompson’s lead had ballooned in Warren County, 66.2% to 33.8%.

With about a third of the county’s vote in, state Rep. Kathy Rapp, R-Warren, holds a 63.95% to 36.05% edge over challenger Erin Willman.
