Pennsylvania Senate Candidate McCormick Withdraws Provisional Ballot Lawsuit

David McCormick sought to challenge provisional ballots in Philadelphia, citing concerns over voting integrity and observer limitations.

Republican Senate candidate David McCormick filed a lawsuit to challenge provisional ballots in Philadelphia, a Democratic stronghold.
McCormick claimed that the volume of provisional ballots overwhelmed Republican observers' capacity to challenge them individually.
The lawsuit aimed to increase the number of Republican observers and allow mass challenges to provisional ballots.
Philadelphia County began counting approximately 15,000 to 20,000 provisional ballots, which could impact McCormick's narrow lead over Democrat Bob Casey.
McCormick withdrew the lawsuit, allowing the Philadelphia County Board of Elections to continue counting the provisional ballots.
