It’s happening again. Pennsylvania finds itself at the center of yet another election debacle, and this time, it’s the Democrats pulling every trick in the book to tilt the scales in their favor.
Bob Casey, the Democratic incumbent, refuses to concede to Republican challenger Dave McCormick, despite McCormick securing a decisive 26,000-vote lead. Why? Because in Casey’s world, rules about ballots apparently don’t matter.
The courts have been crystal clear: ballots missing dates or signatures are invalid. Yet here we are, watching Democratic officials in Philadelphia and surrounding counties brazenly flout the law.
Casey’s strategy seems simple—keep counting every questionable ballot until he can claim a win. If this feels like déjà vu, you’re not alone. It’s yet another chapter in the left’s ongoing saga of bending (or breaking) the rules to “save democracy.”
From Fox News:
Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah., took aim at Sen. Bob Casey over the Pennsylvania Democrat’s refusal to concede the election, arguing that the Senate could refuse to seat him if he continues to rely on “illegal votes.”“If Bob Casey doesn’t concede, Pennsylvania keeps counting illegal votes, & Casey relies on those votes to claim victory, the Senate could refuse to seat him,” Lee said in a post on X Saturday while citing Article I, Sec. 5, Cl. 1, which states that each “House shall be the Judge of the Elections, Returns, and Qualifications of its own Members.”
Legal Wrangling and Political Drama
Republican Senator Mike Lee has had enough. He’s publicly calling out Casey’s antics, even hinting that the Senate could refuse to seat Casey if he relies on illegal ballots to declare victory.
Citing the Constitution, Lee reminded everyone that the Senate has the authority to judge its own elections. His message? If Casey won’t step aside, the Senate might step in.
Meanwhile, Democratic officials openly admit to breaking the rules. Bucks County Commissioner Diane Ellis-Marseglia, a Democrat, didn’t even try to hide it.
“People violate laws anytime they want,” she said, justifying the counting of illegal ballots because she thinks courts should “pay attention.” Apparently, laws are optional now if you don’t agree with them.
GOP’s Frustration and the Cost of Recounts
The Republican National Committee is calling this what it is: an attempt to change the clear election results. Chairman Michael Whatley blasted Democrats for trying to undermine a clear Republican victory, labeling the situation as a “brazen” attack on the electoral process.
Recounts are already underway, costing taxpayers over $1 million, all because blue counties refuse to follow the rules.
McCormick’s camp has remained firm, with growing GOP support demanding Casey concede. Even Mike Lee took to social media to urge Casey to “do the right thing.” But Casey isn’t budging.
Instead, he’s doubling down, claiming every ballot—legal or not—should be counted. His campaign’s silence on these accusations is deafening.
Pennsylvania’s Role in the Bigger Picture
This isn’t just about one Senate seat. Pennsylvania is a microcosm of a larger issue—Democrats consistently undermining election integrity while claiming they’re defending democracy.
The blatant defiance of court rulings by Democratic strongholds isn’t just a local problem; it’s a national one. If rules don’t matter here, where do they matter?
And let’s not forget the irony. The left screams about threats to democracy every time they lose, yet here they are, ignoring the law, counting fraudulent ballots, and holding up a legitimate election. You can’t make this stuff up.
Key Takeaways:
- Democrats are defying court rulings in Pennsylvania, counting illegal ballots to sway the Senate race.
- Sen. Bob Casey refuses to concede despite a clear Republican victory, triggering a costly recount.
- The GOP and courts are fighting back, but this battle is about more than one state—it’s about protecting election integrity nationwide.
