In an almost hilarious twist of fate and irony, Democrats in the state of Pennsylvania are now putting together a stop-the-vote campaign in an effort to ensure that GOP candidate Dave McCormick doesn’t yank a pivotal seat out of the grip of current incumbent, Democratic Sen. Bob Casey, who managed to fall short of being reelected by a narrow margin. You know, I seem to remember a time back in 2020 when a certain presidential candidate wanted to have things checked out to ensure the election was fair-and-square, but when he did that, they said he was causing an insurrection and trying to overturn election results.
My, my, my. I think we have ourselves a case of hypocrisy right here, don’t we?

CNN investigative reporter Andy Kaczynski wrote on X that Democrats in Bucks County have voted to count provisional ballots in the race despite the Pennsylvania Supreme Court previously ruling they should remain uncounted. “I think we all know that precedent by a court doesn’t matter anymore in this country,” said Democratic county commissioner Diane Ellis-Marseglia as she voted Thursday to count ballots where voters did not submit the two legally required signatures on the outside of the ballot. “People violate laws anytime they want,” she continued. “So, for me, if I violate this law it’s because I want a court to pay attention. There’s nothing more important than counting votes.”

The Philadelphia Inquirer details how state Democrats are racing to close the 25,000-vote gap that separates Casey and McCormick, a feat that will now rely on decisions by various county commissioners about how to address contested ballots. Up for grabs are around 80,000 ballots that may yet to be counted. Democrats are also acting out of expediency given deadlines around certifying the election and a looming recount.
The Democrat Bucks County Commissioners just voted to count misdated and undated mail in ballots to try and help Bob Casey and one of them straight up says that she knows it’s illegal but simply does not care.

The radical left in this country will do dang near anything to win an election except actually run a good campaign on a platform designed to help all Americans. If they put as much effort into actually addressing the concerns of the people of this country as they do trying to find creative ways to cheat, well, maybe they would have a candidate in the White House next year?
McCormick isn’t taking this situation lying down either. He and a number of allies are filing lawsuits in Philadelphia, Bucks, Montgomery, and Centre Counties. The aim of these suits is to stop the counting of unsigned ballots and those that have been returned without a postdate, which makes it impossible to know if they were turned in at the proper date or not.
“There is one inescapable truth to all of this,” Mark Harris, lead strategist for the McCormick campaign, stated concerning the situation. “When counting is done, Dave will be winning by tens of thousands of votes. It will not be close.”
“As of Friday, lawyers for Casey and McCormick have spent more than 10 hours in court arguing the merits for and against counting the contested ballots. County commissioners themselves must then meet at length to discuss a strategy for revisiting which ballots might qualify. ‘It’s not always so simple to determine when a vote is legally cast and when there’s some gray area,’ said Bob Harvie, another Democratic board member in Bucks County. In Chester County, for example, board members are wrangling over how to address provisional ballots that were accidentally cast by legally registered voters,” TPN stated in its report.
