Democrat Commissioners Diane Marseglia and Bob Harvie voted today to count illegal ballots, against PA Supreme Court ruling, in an attempt to aid former Senator Bob Casey.
"...precedent by a court doesn't matter anymore in this country. And people violate laws anytime they want. For me if I violate this law, it's because I want a court to pay attention to it." - Diane Marseglia
Thank you to Republican Commissioner Gene DiGirolamo for making a motion to uphold the law!
Our attorneys are working with attorneys from the PAGOP and RNC to address this matter.
Democrat Bob Harvie also voted in favor. Neither Marseglia nor Harvie responded to a request for comment from The Federalist. Republican Gene DiGirolamo voted against counting the ballots.
The Bucks County Republican Party said that its attorneys are working with attorneys from the state GOP and the Republican National Committee to “address this matter.” Senator-elect Dave McCormick has reportedly
appealed the county’s unlawful ruling in the Bucks County Court of Common Pleas, challenging the “decision to count 405 undated or misdated mail-in ballots from the Nov. 5 General Election.”
The razor-thin margin of Casey’s loss triggered an automatic recount, but Casey has also
refused to concede even as McCormick spends time in Washington, D.C., to
participate in the Senate orientation process.
“Senator-Elect McCormick’s lead is insurmountable, which the AP made clear in calling the race,” McCormick spokeswoman Elizabeth Gregory said in a press release. “A recount will be a waste of time and taxpayer money, but it is Senator Casey’s prerogative. Senator-Elect McCormick knows what it’s like to lose an election and is sure Senator Casey will eventually reach the right conclusion.”
