Commonwealth court rules in NEPA race that's too close to call

Pa Commonwealth Court ruled Monday on one of three pending appeals in the tight race for the Republican 117th House District contest — this one granting incumbent Michael Cabell’s request to count one paper provisional ballot and reject another. Cabell and Republican April 23 primary election challenger Jamie Walsh are currently three votes apart, with Walsh in the lead. A majority of the three-judge Commonwealth Court panel agreed with Cabell’s legal arguments. In Monday’s decision, Commonwealth Court Judges Anne E. Covey and Stacy Wallace issued the opinion reversing the county court decision.
