Columnist David Marcus talks to voters in Bucks County and finds Democrats and Republicans agree that Sen. Bob Casey's refusal to concede is a bad look.
I met Michael and his buddies at the Penn Taproom. When he found out what I do for a living, he said, 'What are you doing here? The election is over.' To which I replied, 'Try telling that to Bob Casey.' Here in Pennsylvania, the signs have come down, the airwaves are mercifully free of political ads, but in a few counties, including Bucks, the election just won’t end, because one sore loser in the senate won’t let it.
Sen. Bob Casey is a Keystone State political scion, his father having been a popular governor, and he insists, despite all evidence to the contrary, that there are still enough ballots to put him over the top in a race that has already been called for his opponent, Sen.-elect Dave McCormick. Here in Bucks County, and a few others, the election commissioners have decided that they don’t care that the state’s Supreme Court has ruled that undated or unsigned ballots can’t be counted.
This week, Pennsylvania will spend a million dollars on a recount that everybody not named Casey knows is just a waste of time and money, a last gasp of legal wrangling. But nobody seems to think Casey is a victim here, he’s just the loser. The game is over, everyone knows it, and thankfully, most people seem convinced that this election was free, fair and decisive. That’s democracy.
