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.
đ¨ The PA Supreme Court has sided with the McCormick campaign and ordering an immediate end to the unlawful acts of the counties on this issue. Again the race was over but now itâs reallyx3 over

“The Court hereby ASSUMES its Kingâs Bench authority over the instant Application…only to DIRECT that all Respondents, including the Boards of Elections in Bucks County, Montgomery County, and Philadelphia County, SHALL COMPLY with the prior rulings of this Court in which we have clarified
that mail-in and absentee ballots that fail to comply with the requirements of the Pennsylvania Election Code…for purposes of the election held on November 5, 2024,” the court ruled.

RNC Chairman Michael Whatley praised the ruling and said Democrats now have “absolutely no choice but to reject illegal ballots.”
MCCORMICK/CASEY RECOUNT UPDATE:

Following our latest RNC lawsuit, today the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled yet again that undated ballots CANNOT BE COUNTED.
No more excuses. Election officials in Bucks, Montgomery, Philadelphia, and other counties have absolutely no choiceâŚ
McCormick initially defeated Casey by approximately 26,000 votes, which triggered the automatic recount.
But since the Democrats began counting the illegal undated and misdated ballots, McCormick’s lead began to drop.

Over the last few days, prominent Democrats like Sen. John Fetterman dismissed Bucks County’s illegal vote counting.

HBO host Bill Maher likewise declared that “no one gives a fuck” about the Pennsylvania Senate race so it doesn’t matter if Democrats are counting illegal ballots.
A few moments later, Maher rants "Well, on the presidential level it is. Okay, Bob Casey, no one gives a fuck or even knows who he is. It's a ridiculous argument. It doesn't matter to anything." pic.twitter.com/5pXYLbv2Lv

Well, it appears the Pennsylvania Supreme Court cared, and now Democrats have to accept McCormick as the state’s next Senator.
And Trump campaign co-manager Chris LaCivita warned Monday that the Democrats involved in the unlawful ballot counting will face jail time.
