The fight for Pennsylvania’s U.S. Senate seat is not over yet. The Associated Press called the race, declaring Dave McCormick the winner, but incumbent Democrat Senator Bob Casey says he won’t concede until every vote is counted.
The battle over ballots in the Casey versus McCormick race for the U.S. Senate moved to a Philadelphia court Friday.Lawyers for the projected winner, Republican Dave McCormick, and Democratic incumbent, Senator Bob Casey, stood before a judge at noon over the counting of provisional ballots, filed by voters on Election Day amid questions about their registration.In court filings Thursday night, McCormick’s lawyers challenged the number of observers and how the ballots would be counted.
He said, "I don’t care who voted for me and who didn’t vote for me. Today I turn the page. I’m focused on serving every single Pennsylvanian with all my energy and everything I’ve got."But Casey, the 3-term Democrat, hasn’t given up the fight as his campaign presses for all votes to be counted. In a statement, Casey wrote, "We must allow that process to play out and ensure that every vote that is eligible to be counted will be counted. That is what Pennsylvania deserves.
