Schwank leads Medaglia in 11th Senate District race

With 59 of 128 precincts reporting, Democrat Judy Schwank leads Republican Larry Medaglia in the special election for Pennsylvania's 11th State Senate District.

Schwank has 9,026 votes to Medaglia's 5,641 ... but of the votes counted so far, 32 of the 59 districts are in the City of Reading, where Democrats outnumber Republicans by a 5-1 margin.

The eastern Berks County precincts, where Republicans hold the majority, still have not reported.

Schwank should have built up a much bigger lead over Medaglia in the Democratic-rich precincts in Reading and its immediate suburbs.
