PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Tuesday is the deadline for voters with problems with their mail-in and provisional ballots to get them fixed.

Election workers in Philadelphia have flagged thousands of provisional ballots that need ID verification.

Other counties have hundreds more.

And all of these votes in limbo matter because of how close the Pennsylvania Senate race is.

ABC has still not projected a winner, with Republican Dave McCormick ahead of incumbent Democratic Senator Bob Casey by about 35,000 votes.

McCormick has already declared victory, but Casey's campaign is not ready to concede before the final tally.

If the margin stays within half a percent, Pennsylvania law requires an automatic recount. That would have to be ordered by Thursday.
