Voters Cast Ballots in Pennsylvania and Georgia Midterms

Voters in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, and DeKalb County, Georgia, cast ballots on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, for a series of high-profile midterm contests. In Georgia, the elections featured a U.S. Senate race between Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff and Republican Representative Mike Collins, alongside a gubernatorial contest between former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms and businessman Rick Jackson.

In Pennsylvania, Delaware County residents voted for governor, members of Congress, and state legislative seats. Voters also weighed a county referendum on open space that could incur up to $120 million in debt, with local interest driven by the proposed development of the Mozino tract.

Jim Allen, the Delaware County Elections Director, reported a generally smooth process despite a small fire near Bywood Elementary School and temporary construction delays. In Georgia, DeKalb County poll workers resolved several technical issues before the 7 a.m. opening, though voters later reported no problems with machines or check-in processes. Voters in both regions cited concerns over affordability and a desire for change as their primary motivations for voting.
