(16,317 posts)Currently Dem Matt Moffa holds a 2 vote lead in lower Bucks County based HD 142.
Incumbent R Todd Stephens holds a 26 vote lead over the Horsham Twp (Montgomery Co) based HD 151.
There's no update on the state's election results page, but here are the links to Bucks and MontCo county election pages.
Bucks: https://buckscounty.gov/1206/Election-Results
Montgomery: https://montcopa.org/2033/Election-Results-Website
There will also be 3 special elections for HDs won by Dems in Pittsburgh/Allegheny County.
Summer Lee was elected to Congress while also winning her state House race unopposed.
Austin Davis was elected LtGov while also winning his state House race.
Tony DeLuca died before the election, but too late to replace his name on the ballot. He was re-elected posthumously. All districts are majority Dem. The expectation will be to hold these seats.

(142,404 posts)it will be interesting to see what happens with the added/shifted seats here in the east.
The ones that Deminpenn mentioned included the 151st in Montco which was redrawn and looks like this (taken from here) -
This was the old map -
It looks like the new district now includes Ambler. From the state voter registration stats, I found this for the 151st -
Sub Total (D) 22981 (R) 17192 (O) 7762 (T) 47935
There is a slight majority of (D) now plus a good chunk of "other" (unaffiliated, etc) that might be why this is considered "swing" (and the old boundaries had it with a (R) rep).
For the other mentioned, the new 142nd (which would basically become an open seat if the current Rep. Frank Farry won as a State Senator), it has been like pulling teeth to get what the new boundaries are but I expect this is it -
The old map -
The (R) holder of the old district did end up winning as a State Senator for the 6th Senatorial District. The district abuts NE Philly and I know as a kid, we used to go up the Boulevard to the Lincoln Drive-in that was technically located in Trevose, just north of the city line.
The registration for that district is literally almost 50/50 (but then Bucks County has been that way for awhile now and Fitzpatrick just got re-elected to his U.S. House seat, the boundaries of which pretty much includes 100% of Bucks County and a narrow carve-out of Montgomery County along the border between the two).
Sub Total (D) 20322 (R) 19859 (O) 7637 (T) 47818
