The U.S. Senate race in Pennsylvania will now go to a recount, Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt has announced.
The U.S. Senate election in Pennsylvania between Democratic incumbent Sen. Bob Casey and Republican David McCormick is headed for a statewide recount, as counties continued Wednesday to sort through outstanding ballots and the campaigns jousted over which ones should count.The Associated Press called the race for McCormick last week, concluding that not enough ballots remained to be counted in areas Casey was winning for him to take the lead.
"Adam Bonin, a lawyer representing the Casey campaign in Philadelphia, said Republicans were aggressively and systematically challenging the provisional ballots of registered Democrats, delaying the vote counting process."What we are seeing this year is more organized, more disciplined, more directed and more comprehensive than what we saw in 2020," Bonin said.
