Yaw, Wheeland, Hamm take local seats, voter turnout is high

Unofficial results are in and Lycoming County has turned out red across the board. With unofficial results tallied, local legislators Sen. Gene Yaw and Rep. Jeff Wheeland, have retained their seats. Newcomer Joe Hamm clinched over 78% of the vote to replace Rep. Garth Everett, who will retire at the end of the year. 

Nearly 80% (58,354) of the registered voters in the county turned out to vote, either in person, or through mail-in ballots. In the 2016 presidential election, just over 52,000 turned out to vote. 

As of 11 p.m. on election night, incumbent Rep. Fred Keller, held a solid lead over Lee Griffin, with over 71% of the votes.
