Scott Wagner's presumed win a historic first

Update: Politicos and election officials are confirming Republican Scott Wagner's apparent victory in the 28th Senate as the first time a write-in candidate has won an election for state Senate in Pennsylvania.

Only about 22,300 voters cast ballots in Tuesday's special election, for a turnout of 13.6 percent, according to unofficial numbers from the county's elections office.

Here's The York Dispatch's coverage of the historic win:

In what appears to be an unexpected victory for a conservative businessman who has made a point of bucking his own party, Republican Scott Wagner is presumed to have won a write-in campaign to defeat party nominee Ron Miller for an open seat in the state Senate.

Amen Brother.

I do question the writer's narrative in this story though! It is madness I tell ya subliminal madness!
Using words like "presumed", "apparent",
"if" Wagner is the certified winner...

All as if the writer could do no more to the reader to cast doubt on the outcome as if there were some shenanigans or impropriety involved.
The implication that he somehow cheated is all over the story.
This is how liberals create their negativity and sway opinions.

I hope the Republicans are listening and watching. Old establishment Republicans have got to go.
