here's a curious phenom: the democrats questioning election results. i wonder if they see the irony;
The Democrat-controlled election board in Bucks County is counting undated ballots, which the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has ruled is unacceptable.
Multiple local and national publications called the U.S. Senate race in Pennsylvania last week for Republican challenger and combat veteran Dave McCormick. Although the writing is on the wall, Sen. Bob Casey, the Democratic incumbent, has refused to admit defeat. Casey's allies are now engaging in the very conduct and echoing the same kind of language that Democrats have spent years condemning.
Days after the Wall Street Journal's editorial board claimed that Marc Elias, elections attorney for the Democratic Party, was "back and trying to steal a Senate seat for Bob Casey," Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley warned that Democratic officials and lawyers "are trying to sow doubt in the democratic process."
That doubt is sure to grow now that the state is holding a recount and Democrats are pushing to count illegal ballots.
Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt announced Wednesday that the unofficial results, with Philadelphia's legal and uncontested ballots accounted for, automatically triggered a statewide recount under Pennsylvania law. McCormick reportedly leads Casey by 29,338 votes, 48.93% to 48.50%. To avoid a recount, the Republican senator-elect would need to lead his opponent by 0.5%...........more..........
