The process of examining exterior envelopes for signatures, dates, postmarks and received stamps, followed by the opening of the exterior envelopes to determine whether the ballot is “naked” (without an interior envelope; if so, it’s not counted), and then the process of counting the mailed ballots, began at 7:00 am. And the counting won’t be completed today almost definitely.

Shapiro has already been called as the winner, nonetheless, because his lead was massive. Fetterman v Oz will take longer because it’s closer.

Even the GOP didn't expect Mastriano to win. It was called so soon because it was clear. And as you said, mail in ballots started at 7am unlike the poll votes which started at poll close

True. But it takes much longer to count the mail-ins.
