In a race down to the wire, Democrat Conor Lamb and Republican Rick Saccone battled for Pennsylvania's 18th Congressional District's House seat Tuesday night in an election too close to call.
Nearly three hours after polls closed and with 100 percent of precincts reporting, unofficial results had Lamb leading Saccone by 579 votes. Some absentee ballots were not expected to be counted until Wednesday morning, and the final result could be decided by a recount.
The race drew national attention as Democrats believe it could be a precursor to their chances of taking control of Congress in the fall midterm elections. They must flip 24 GOP-held seats to claim a House majority.
