Pennsylvania Senate Race Headed to Mandated Recount
Pennsylvania holds a recount if the victory margin is below 0.5%.
Many places called the Pennsylvania senate race for Republican challenger David McCormick over Democrat incumbent Sen. Bob Casey.
I knew it was a mistake because Pennsylvania law orders a required recount if the margin is below 0.5%.
Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt announced today that unofficial results in the Nov. 5 general election race for U.S. Senate have triggered a legally required statewide recount.
Senator Bob Casey and Dave McCormick have vote totals within the one-half of 1 percent margin that triggers a mandatory recount under state law.
As of today, the unofficial returns for the U.S. Senate race submitted by all 67 counties show the following results for the top two candidates:
- Robert P. Casey Jr. – 3,350,972 (48.50%)
- David H. McCormick – 3,380,310 (48.93%)
Once counties finish counting their ballots, they must begin the recount no later than Wednesday, Nov. 20. They must complete the recount by noon on Nov. 26 and must report results to the Secretary by noon on Nov. 27. Results of the recount will not be published until Nov. 27.
This is insanity. The election ended on November 5.
Pennsylvania admitted it has “60,366 uncounted provisional ballots and 20,155 uncounted mail-in and absentee ballots.”
McCormick’s Republican senate primary against Mehmet Oz in 2022 went to a recount.

Here comes the steal.
Funny how that happens when you can ” count” for a week
If these States with inefficient election process and weak ballot security/election fraud measures don’t want to be accused of creating conditions to make it easier to engage in election shenanigans …they should tighten up the security and count the early votes before election day so there’s no overhang of ballots and no ballot dumps that keep them from expeditiously working through the provisional ballots. Other States get it done quickly b/c they had the political will to do so.
Counting early votes before election day means the Dems already know how far behind they are, and thus how many votes they need to manufacture on the day. That’s why many states don’t allow any counting until voting is over.
Thousands of brand new ballots will be found.
This is as predictable as Wyle Coyote and the Roadrunner or Charlie Brown and the football kick. One would think average intelligent people would see how stupid this is over and over and stop it. But not the citizens of PA.
If they take this long to make a decision, they’re fixing to screw somebody. They did it to Lake in Arizona, and if you think they won’t do it to McCormick, you’re not paying attention.
The dems will not go quietly into that good night. I already declared Schumer has been colluding with the Casey campaign to ‘find’ votes.
The margin is less than 30,000.
“Pennsylvania admitted it has “60,366 uncounted provisional ballots and 20,155 uncounted mail-in and absentee ballots.”
So 80,000 ballots
My prediction:
5,000 declared invalid
20,000 to McCormick
55,000 to Casey
Net win for Casey after official recount by 5,000 votes
Sad but the most likely outcome, in my cynical opinion.
We all know how this ends.
I don’t believe any major recount has changed a vote by 30,000.
