Wednesday afternoon Heard on the Hill got a tip to call 52301 from a Capitol landline.

The number sends callers to the Pennsylvania 18th District office, which had a temporary recording (sorta) while the state hashes out the Tuesday night results.

The district has since changed the message, but luckily some staffers saved the day and sent us their recording. (Excuse the background laughter.)
