Democrat Bob Casey has finally conceded his race against Dave McCormick in the Pennsylvania Senate race, congratulating him on his win.

Here’s what he said:

Bob Casey concedes in #pasen, setting the stage for a 53-47 Senate.

“I just called Dave McCormick to congratulate him on his election to represent Pennsylvania in the United States Senate. As the first count of ballots is completed, Pennsylvanians can move forward with the knowledge that their voices were heard, whether their vote was the first to be counted or the last,” he said

This only happened because Republicans refused to allow Democrat officials in several counties to cheat, challenging them in the state’s supreme court and ultimately getting the governor to speak out against the cheating as well.

What a great victory for Dave McCormick and the state of Pennsylvania.
