A source told POLITICO they received a call from the firm Vanguard Field Strategies, which said it was helping the McCormick campaign with a possible recount. The company said it is looking to bring in 300 people, and offered paid travel, a rental car and $125 a day to observe the potential recount, the person said.
Asked about the likelihood of a recount, Christopher Nicholas, a longtime Pennsylvania-based GOP consultant, said: “If you’re the showhorse, as they say, and it’s free, what do you have to lose?”
He said the campaigns “both have done it the right way, being almost virtually radio silent and allowing the process to get to completion,” but “once there is a final tally and it goes into the recount, then I expect it to get political again.”
On Wednesday, Trump, who endorsed Oz, said on the social media platform Truth Social that Oz should “declare victory” and baselessly suggested that there could be fraud in the primary: “It makes it much harder for them to cheat with the ballots that they ‘just happened to find.’”
A person close to the McCormick campaign said, “Trump is hedging his bet on Oz by throwing out false claims about the Republican primary election because he knows Dave is going to win.”
Fox News host Sean Hannity, a top ally to Oz, predicted Wednesday on his radio show that “under every scenario I have factored out, extrapolated out, Oz will be the winner in this race.”
But he also sought to raise doubts about the count, adding that “to be perfectly honest, I don’t trust people — and I’m not talking about Republican candidates — I’m talking about the people that have the ballots.”
Wow....this is getting dicey.
Thanks for the updates.
Oh...I am in partial agreement w/Vannity ....

I DON’T TRUST ANY ROVE/OPEN BORDERS cabal, McCormick connected Repub.
