Pennsylvania Senate Race Recount Sparks Legal Tensions
TL;DR Summary
The Pennsylvania U.S. Senate race between Democrat Bob Casey and Republican Dave McCormick is headed for a recount, as McCormick leads by less than 0.5%, triggering the state's automatic recount law. Despite trailing by nearly 30,000 votes, Casey did not waive the recount, citing uncounted ballots. McCormick's campaign argues the recount is unnecessary, while Casey's team criticizes Republican legal challenges to ballot validity. The recount is expected to cost over $1 million and is unlikely to change the election outcome.
