Dec 30, 2020 As people across the country waited on the results of the 2020 presidential election, Sayre High School graduate Stacy Garrity was waiting for another race to be called. Garrity, a Republican who now lives in Athens, was leading the race to become Pennsylvaniaâs next state treasurer, but with outstanding mail-in ballots coming in from Democratic strongholds like Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, she wasnât able to claim victory right away. âHonestly, I wasnât sure,â said Garrity on whether she thought she would hold on to her lead. âI kept trying to run the math by county â rural counties vs. Allegheny vs. Philadelphia vs. some of the other ones. I kept feeling like we were going to squeak it out but I didnât know if we would be outside of the half percent for the automatic recount.â
