to open their mail ballots until tomorrow, until after the election. some said they would do it late at the end of tonight so the number of uncounted mail ballots has come down a little bit as the night has gone along. there are counties that said they re not going to touch them until tomorrow. there will be a certain number of mail ballots probably tomorrow that will loom large. like we said, mccormick so far has been leading oz by nine points on those mail ballots. so, one of the questions now may be, is oz able to do well in the remaining votes in delaware, in some of the remaining precincts around the state and pad this lead at all? is he going to need to pad the lead to with stand what could still be there in terms of mail-in ballots? that s one of the questions that s posed. but this is a very significant development because all night we have been watching this. oz has been down 8,000 votes, 2,000 votes, 1,000 votes.
system. barnette will win the county but oz s next votes on mccormick, look what that does. it brings the mccormick lead statewide to 1,200 votes it s now 1,004 votes. it s one tenth of 1% separating oz from mccormick. now we re getting significant vote from these philadelphia suburban counties. it makes bucks loom large. we have a lot of vote to come in in bucks. oz at least early could be encouraged by what he s seeing out of bucks. the philadelphia area here, the opportunity it s delaware actually we re close to all in in delaware. bucks looms particularly large now as an opportunity for oz to further erode that mccormick lead and try to overtake mccormick. again, there are counties all across the state where we have
a couple years ago is the same we ll see in the campaign trails in the months ahead. it s montgomery county, bucks county exact where we are going to be waking up tomorrow morning as these results come in. thank you. you mentioned montgomery county as one of the three to watch as well as where oz finished up yesterday. steve, i m hearing that we have new votes, new data out of montgomery county. take it away. the montgomery county website was showing results that hadn t yet registered in our system that looked like they were favorable results for oz. barnette is going to win her county. pennsylvania ballots list candidate s home counties on them. montgomery county voter you saw barnette listed as home county candidate and oz listed as home county candidate. they ran one-two here. mccormick is listed as allegheny county, western pennsylvania. the upshot is we just got a big batch of votes now from the website recorded into our
there are even some counties that say we re not touching mail ballots at all until tomorrow. we don t know when this night ends exactly what the number will be, but there will be a significant batch of uncounted mail-in ballots, even after they get through counting up the same day vote in all these different counties. right now, the number of uncounted mail ballots we think is down to about 29,000, as i say, a lot of these counties this thing really doesn t want to write. it s down to about 29,000 right now is what it s down to. again, some of these counties are knocking them off as the night ends. so that number will come down a bit tonight. but there will be mail-in ballots left in a number of counties to be opened, to be processed, to be counted tomorrow. again, just looking at the lay of the land here. there are counties where mccormick is doing better than oz. counties where oz is doing better than mccormick. the possibility looms that we get through all of the same day votes, t
votes from delaware county. and it was a good batch of votes for mccormick. he leads in that batch over oz. that helped to push david mcmore mccormick s lead up. we ll start in montgomery county, still a lot to come in montgomery county. it is barnette s home county. listed on the ballot as her home county and mehmet oz listed as his home county as well. interestingly our system, we receive votes from where we receive votes from is not necessarily plugged into the website of the county. and we were just looking at the website of the county. the website of the county is reporting out a few more votes than we have so far recorded in our system. the upshot of it is, according to the website for montgomery county, oz could be due to net in the next few minutes, to net
