The House Democratic Campaign Committee has declared victory, though the race has not yet been officially called.  <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"2\">Fourteen military and overseas ballots still have time to be submitted, and Lancaster County officials said seven challenges were made regarding provisional votes.  <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"3\">The seat has traditionally been held by Republicans, with Miller first elected in 2014.  <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"4\">Chambers shared his thoughts on the potential shift in representation.  <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"5\">&#8220;I&#8217;m feeling relieved. Trust the process. Trust my team, trust my partners and let the work speak for itself. The people who live here decided that they wanted a Pennsylvania where they&#8217;re able to afford groceries, where they&#8217;re able to access health care, where they are able to have an affordable path to homeownership. That&#8217;s what I ran on from the beginning,&#8221; Chambers said.  <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"6\">He also emphasized the importance of voting in close races.  <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"7\">&#8220;And the race was called by HDCC. I stand by that. I want every single vote to be counted. And I think that this race in particular is among the best arguments for why voting is important, because sometimes it literally comes down to double-digit votes,&#8221; Chambers said.  <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"8\">A meeting is scheduled for Thursday to address the challenges, and Lancaster County officials will continue to provide updates.  <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"9\">Efforts to reach Brett Miller for comment were unsuccessful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Democratic challenger Brad Chambers has overtaken Republican incumbent Brett Miller by 30 votes in the 41st State House&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":322812,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[130879,130889,130807,130808,6953,42471,130884,121423,16587,16145,3831,30772,130882,3685,130888,15265,130881,4206,130885,130890,63334,28,30,29,130892,20283,130886,125864,130891,130880,1823,130883,130887,2812],"class_list":["post-322811","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-pennsylvania","tag-41st-house-district","tag-41st-house-district-race","tag-brad-chambers","tag-brett-miller","tag-challenge","tag-chamber","tag-close-race","tag-democratic-challenger","tag-election-night","tag-election-results","tag-health-care","tag-homeownership","tag-house-democratic-campaign-committee","tag-lancaster-county","tag-lancaster-county-race","tag-lead","tag-military-ballots","tag-miller","tag-officially-called","tag-overseas-ballot","tag-overseas-ballots","tag-pennsylvania","tag-pennsylvania-headlines","tag-pennsylvania-news","tag-potential-shift","tag-provisional-ballots","tag-provisional-votes","tag-republican-incumbent","tag-republican-incumbent-brett-miller","tag-state-house-district","tag-vote","tag-vote-count","tag-voting-importance","tag-wgal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/322811","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=322811"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/322811\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/322812"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=322811"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=322811"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=322811"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
