Same inequality, new century. We're keeping score.

Ratings

We show no win probability for governor races. Our governor forecast has not yet passed its accuracy test against past elections, so these pages carry ratings, polls and fundraising instead.

On the November ballot

We do not carry Pennsylvania's certified primary result.

Pennsylvania Department of State, Bureau of Elections publishes the certified primary result on its official results page.

Pennsylvania's election site turns away automated requests, and we do not work around that.

Pennsylvania held its primary on May 19, 2026.
