Fox News: Dems sue PA election board over uncounted provisional ballots amid Senate recount in Casey loss
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has filed a lawsuit against the Bucks County Board of Elections in Pennsylvania, contesting the rejection of 74 provisional ballots due to missing inner envelopes. The DSCC argues this violates the U.S. Constitution and the Help America Vote Act, claiming the errors resulted from poll worker instructions.
As the Senate recount begins, Republican candidate Dave McCormick narrowly leads over Sen. Bob Casey. The lawsuit, while unlikely to significantly impact the recount, highlights ongoing legal battles in Pennsylvania regarding ballot counting and voter disenfranchisement.
