The Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Monday ordered Democrats in several counties to immediately halt their unlawful counting of illegal ballots in the Senate race recount.
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court had ruled before the election that mail-in ballots lacking formally required signatures or dates should not be included in official results.
But Democrats in Philadelphia and surrounding Bucks, Centre and Montgomery counties last week openly admitted to counting disqualified ballots in defiance of state law and the court order amid a contentious recount of the state’s Senate race between Democrat incumbent Bob Casey and Republican Dave McCormick.
The McCormick campaign then sued the Bucks County Board of Elections last week for counting 405 ballots that were misdated or undated and therefore invalid.
Now, the state’s Supreme Court has sided with the McCormick campaign and ordered the Democrats to stop counting, effectively confirming McCormick has won the election.
