Senate Race Recount Sparks Legal Battles Over Ballot Legitimacy

The recount in Pennsylvania's Senate race between David McCormick and Bob Casey hinges on disputed ballots and legal challenges.

The recount was triggered automatically due to the narrow margin between Republican David McCormick and Democrat Bob Casey, with McCormick currently leading by nearly 30,000 votes.
Controversy centers on the decision by Bucks County commissioners to count misdated and undated mail-in ballots, despite a Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling against it.
McCormick's campaign has filed a lawsuit against Bucks County's decision, arguing that counting these ballots violates state law and court orders.
Casey's campaign is pushing to include provisional ballots from unregistered voters, arguing that some voter registration errors were made by election officials.
Counties in Pennsylvania must begin their recount by November 20 and report results by November 27, with approximately 80,000 ballots still needing initial counting.
