The U.S. Supreme Court temporarily blocked the counting of some mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania, an order that could affect the tight Republican Senate primary between former hedge fund CEO David McCormick and celebrity heart surgeon Dr. Mehmet Oz.
HARRISBURG, Pa. — The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday temporarily blocked the counting of some mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania, an order that could affect the tight Republican Senate primary between former hedge fund CEO David McCormick and celebrity heart surgeon Dr. Mehmet Oz.
As McCormick scrounges for ballots to make up the gap with Oz, Alito’s order could freeze McCormick's lawsuit in Pennsylvania state courts. McCormick's campaign insisted that Alito's order does not affect its case in the state's Commonwealth Court and that the federal appeals court opinion “remains the persuasive authority" on the federal Civil Rights Act provision on which it based its decision.McCormick has been doing better than Oz among mail-in ballots, and his campaign has said it counted about 860 undated Republican mail-in ballots received by 65 of the state’s 67 counties.
