The votes have all been cast in yesterday’s mid-term election and while some votes are still be counted across the country, we do know how some of the most watched races turned out and there were a few surprises. Here in Pennsylvania, Democrat John Fetterman defeated Republican Mehmet Oz to become Pennsylvania’s next U.S. Senator. Democrat Josh Shapiro will be the state’s governor in January after beating Republican Doug Mastriano handily.

There were some surprises though. Democrats across the country did better than expected as an anticipated Republican wave didn’t materialize, even though Republicans may still control the House and Senate. On The Spark today, we look at the election, what we know, what we don’t know and the issues that influenced voters. Our guest is Berwood Yost, Director of the Floyd Institute for Public Policy and Center for Opinion Research at Franklin & Marshall College.
