As commissioners of Fulton County, Pennsylvania, worked to finish tallying the vote early on Wednesday, the only question was whether U.S. President Donald Trump would top the 84% support he received in the rural Republican stronghold in 2016.

The fate of the state — and Trump's chances in the national election — would be for others to decide.

"It will be a few days before we know Pennsylvania," said Randy Bunch, a county commissioner and Trump supporter, after confirming that Trump had won the county with 85.3% of the vote. "It is what it is."
