Oh look.
Pennsylvania is counting votes a week after the election is over and a Democrat is magically coming from behind to eek out a win.
Who would have thought?

Harmeet Dhillon has her lawyers on the ground there so this isn't going unchallenged by the Republicans.
The 2004 Washington gubernatorial election and 2008 Minnesota senate election had a 215 and 261 vote initial margin respectively. Not the current 26k+vote margin in this election. The dems can't fraud their way out of a deficit that big.Quote:
We've all seen this before. Dino Rossi in Washington and Norm Coleman will Minnesota will tell you how this kind of thing usually turns out for the Republican.

Out of the 6,929 statewide general elections between 2000 and 2023, there were 36 statewide recounts.
Quote:
Recounts resulted in only three reversals, or one out of every 2,310 statewide elections. All three reversals occurred when the initial margin was less than 0.06% of all votes cast for the top two candidates. The last statewide recount reversal was the 2008 U.S. Senate race in Minnesota.
Casey ain't winning thisQuote:
Statewide recounts resulted in an average margin shift of 551 votes between the frontrunners, representing 0.03% of the vote. Recounts typically widen the gap between the top two candidates instead of decreasing it.

Problem is the SOS is on team blue and will put his hand on the scale until they get the result they want.

It seems to be a two-step cheat being executed by @marceelias; first allow unchecked ghost votes to be counted for Casey that reduce his deficit to under the 0.5% vote difference to cause mandatory recount.

Once all of the ballots get intermingled, and sorting them all out again takes a lot of time, if it is even doable. Same thing the PA Sec of State did in 2020 even with Justice Alito commanding her not to do so. Did it anyway.AtticusMatlock said:
I assume GOP will be filing an emergency injunction against Bucks if they haven't already.
Why are there no consequences? The Supreme Court has no enforcement power? (I honestly don't know.) Can't they hold them in contempt or send a federal marshal over there to arrest them or something?aggiehawg said:Once all of the ballots get intermingled, and sorting them all out again takes a lot of time, if it is even doable.

They'll never be able to sort them out once they are co-mingled. That's obviously the plan.

No. SCOTUS has no enforcement power. It is up to Executive Branch (both state and federal) to enforce their rulings.Tailgate88 said:Why are there no consequences?

Quote:
The suit says the decision to count the ballots is "legally erroneous" because the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has ruled that undated or misdated mail ballots are invalid and cannot be counted for the 2024 election.
It notes that other counties have decided to not count misdated mail ballots.
The Bucks County elections board voted 2-1 during a meeting Tuesday to count the 405 misdated ballots, the suit says.
The race between McCormick and Casey is so close that it has triggered a mandatory recount under Pennsylvania law, the department of state announced Wednesday.
SCOTUS can stop the recount/count at any time (see 2000 Florida).Tailgate88 said:Why are there no consequences? The Supreme Court has no enforcement power? (I honestly don't know.)

Not until the state supreme court has ruled first.Quote:

In that case, if I'm McCormick, I refuse to leave the Senate.
