The Philadelphia County Board of Elections will begin its recount for the U.S. Senate race Wednesday morning.
At a board meeting on Monday night, City Commissioners voted not to count 607 undated or incorrectly dated mail ballots.The ruling is a win for Republican challenger Dave McCormick and a loss for incumbent Democratic Sen. Bob Casey as the campaigns prepare for a statewide recount and press counties for favorable ballot-counting decisions while election workers are sorting through thousands of provisional ballots.
In a statement, Gov. Josh Shapiro, a Democrat, said a lack of legal clarity had surrounded the ballots, putting county officials in a position where they were "damned if they did and damned if they didn't - likely facing legal action no matter which decision they made on counting." Casey's campaign says the provisional ballots shouldn't be rejected for garden-variety errors, like a polling place worker forgetting to sign it. Republicans say the law is clear that the ballots must be discarded.
