McCormick Lawsuits Over Ballots in PA Senate Race

In the Pennsylvania Senate race, Republican Dave McCormick has declared victory over incumbent Democrat Bob Casey, though Casey has not conceded due to outstanding ballots. McCormick leads with a slim margin, and the Associated Press has projected him as the winner. However, McCormick has filed lawsuits challenging 15,000 to 20,000 provisional ballots in Philadelphia, a Democratic stronghold, claiming these could impact the election outcome. If the margin between the candidates remains within 0.5%, an automatic recount will be triggered. Meanwhile, Senator John Fetterman has faced backlash for derogatory comments against Green Party voters, which critics argue could alienate constituents. The legal challenges and ongoing vote counting highlight the contentious nature of this closely watched race.
