Stealing Pennsylvania

Democrats in Pennsylvania are trying to steal a Senate seat. 

That isn't hyperbole or an unreasonable accusation. They are practically admitting it. Watch:

By now, all of us have heard of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and heard far too much about election shenanigans there. You may recall that election officials were turning away voters hours before the polls closed in early voting. The violations were so egregious that a judge had to force the county to keep polls open for several extra days.

It was a calculated move by a county commission dominated by Democrats.

When the commissioners were running for office they said explicitly that controlling the county commission would allow Democrats to control the voting itself

But the rules for the 2024 election in Bucks County are also central to Democrats’ pitch. “County commissioners control how you vote,” Harvie told a meeting of roughly two dozen Democrats from Middletown Township, warning that a loss this November would mean that next year’s election could be determined by “Republican rules.”

Bob Casey, explaining why he is holding out, points to county election officials as his potential saviors. 

Controlling the voting- and counting the votes- is exactly what the county commissioners are doing. They don't like the results in the Casey-McCormick senate race, so they openly admit that they will violate the law and a court order so they can steal the election. 

Bob Casey, the incumbent senator, hasn't conceded the race (election denier!) despite multiple observers having called it--as is his right--and is egging on the shenanigans. The Democrats, who until just yesterday were 100% against election challenges as antidemocratic, have found religion in this one case.

The board’s legal team suggested the commissioners reject the ballots because the Pennsylvania Supreme Court had given clear guidance about signatures being required for votes to count.

There were approximately 124 ballots that would not count because of missing signatures.

Republican Sen.-elect David McCormick won 48.93% of the vote and Democratic incumbent Bob Casey captured 48.50% of the vote, thus triggering a recount. 

However, as of Wednesday, there are approximately 80,000 left to be counted, including 20,000 mail-in and absentee ballots and around 60,000 provisional ballots. 

Counties must begin their recount on Nov. 20 and have until Nov. 27 to report their results to the Secretary of the Commonwealth. 

Casey, the third-term Senator, has not yet conceded the race. 

Philadelphia City Commissioners also voted to count a “relatively small number of undated and incorrectly dated mail ballots.”

“Republicans filed a petition to the PA Supreme Court against all counties to attempt to stop all counties from counting these ballots,” Philadelphia City Commissioners said in a statement to Fox News. “They also filed a statutory appeal challenging Bucks County’s decision to count undated and incorrectly dated mail ballots. We are reviewing the filings.”

An RNC official told Fox News that the decisions made by the county election boards were “ridiculous.”  The GOP has filed two lawsuits against Bucks County and the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to stop the counting of these ballots.

Post-election legal maneuvering is hardly unusual in close races, and most of the time, Republicans do a piss-poor job of fighting against the sophisticated tactics the Democrats and lying scumbags like Marc Elias use to snatch victory out of the jaws of defeat. 

This year, though, Lara Trump and her crack team were prepared for the fight and won some big battles. In return, Democrats are now defying court decisions openly and on camera.
