(WHTM) — With the final votes being counted in Pennsylvania’s midterm election, it appears Josh Shapiro will set a record for votes received by a Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate.

According to the Pennsylvania Department of State, Shapiro received more than 3 million votes in the unofficial tally to Doug Mastriano’s 2.2 million. In a review of historical data of Pennsylvania gubernatorial races, no candidate has ever received 2.9 million votes.

The last record was set by Gov. Tom Wolf in his 2018 re-election bid when he received 2,895,652.

In 2010 Tom Corbett received more than 2.1 million votes and, Gov. Ed Rendell received 2.4 million in his 2006 re-election campaign. Gov. Bob Casey Sr. received more than 2 million votes in his 1990 re-election bid when he beat Barbara Haber by a record 1 million votes.
