Republican Dave McCormick leads three-term Democratic Sen. Bob Casey by less than 0.5%.
FILE - This combination of images shows from left, Republican Pennsylvania Senate candidate David McCormick, left, in Pittsburgh, on Sept. 21, 2023, and opponent, Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., in Chicago, on Aug. 22, 2024.
Casey trails McCormick by nearly 30,000 votes, a margin wide enough that a recount would be unlikely to change the outcome of the race. However, the Department of State said Wednesday, roughly 80,000 ballots statewide have not yet been counted, though many of those may be rejected. Counties are required to start the recount process by Wednesday, Nov. 20, at the latest. They must complete their recounts by Tuesday, Nov. 26.
Casey’s campaign issued a statement Wednesday criticizing McCormick and Republicans for pursuing court challenges that could result in the exclusion of some provisional ballots. The campaign argued McCormick’s continued litigation over the election proves he believes it isn’t over.
