Follow live: Updates from AP’s coverage of the presidential election. Boyle’s attorney, Andrew Montroy, has said the flawed warrant issued “in the final days before election day has caused tremendous professional damage to my client.” In an Altoona area district, Rep. Jim Gregory lost by nearly 10 percentage points to Scott Barger in the GOP primary. First-term state Rep. Mike Cabell is trailing challenger Jamie Walsh by just eight votes out of more than 9,000 cast in the Republican primary for a southern Luzerne County seat. Still unresolved is state Rep. Amen Brown’s three-way Democratic primary in a Philadelphia district, although he has a lead of more than 100 votes over his closest challenger. In a Pittsburgh state Senate seat that is open with the pending retirement of Sen. Jim Brewster, a Democrat, state Rep. Nick Pisciottano will face Republican Jen Dintini, a security company owner, in November.
