Senator Mike Lee of Utah has an excellent idea to stop Democrat Bob Casey from stealing Pennsylvania’s Senate race.
Despite losing to Republican David McCormick in an extremely tight race, and the race being called by multiple networks, Casey and his cronies are working behind the scenes to try and steal the seat in the way that Democrats specialize in.
As the race heads to an automatic recount, Casey and Democratic operative Marc Elias are trying to ensure that illegal ballots are counted in order to try and claim victory.
These efforts have been criticized by people across the political spectrum, particularly given Casey’s record of describing Donald Trump as a threat to democracy.
Among those denouncing these efforts is Senator Lee, who also happens to be an experienced jurist and constitutional expert.
According to Lee, the Senate could simply refuse to seat him.
“If Bob Casey doesn’t concede, Pennsylvania keeps counting illegal votes, [and] Casey relies on those votes to claim victory, the Senate could refuse to seat him,” he wrote on the X platform.
Lee went on to cite a constitutional clause that states: “Each House shall be the Judge of the Elections, Returns and Qualifications of its own Members.”

Too many Rinos would vote to seat him.
Of course. Cheating comes naturally to Democrats as strangling their prey comes naturally to boa constrictors.
Even when they have nothing to gain and everything to lose if they get caught, they can't help themselves.

Defeat the Cheat!
I’m very interested in incentives for states to cleanup their election processes. It might be awesome for PA to have only a single senator — “Sorry. Your elections are not trustworthy. No Casey for you. You get only 1 senator. Perhaps you should cleanup your system.”
Pennsylvania Democrats openly admit to counting
illegal ballots in McCormick-Casey race

As the contested Pennsylvania Senate race barrels towards a $1 million recount, Democratic officials in a few blue counties are openly admitting to counting disqualified ballots in defiance of state law and court orders.
The Associated Press has called the race for Republican Sen.-elect Dave McCormick, who currently holds a 26,000 vote lead over incumbent Democratic Sen. Bob Casey. But Casey has refused to concede and insisted that every vote be counted. The close margin – within one percentage point – triggered an automatic recount under Pennsylvania law.
Yet the critical question is which votes should be counted? The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled before the election that mail ballots lacking formally required signatures or dates should not be included in official results. However, Democratic officials in Philadelphia and surrounding Bucks, Centre and Montgomery counties are ignoring that court order.
“I think we all know that precedent by a court doesn’t matter anymore in this country,” Bucks County Commissioner Diane Ellis-Marseglia, a Democrat, said Thursday as she and other Democrats voted to reject a GOP-led challenge to ballots that should be disqualified.

From Campaign Manager Mark Harris:
🚨🚨As has been clear for days, Dave McCormick has won. He is up 17k+ which is more than ALL remaining uncounted ballots even AFTER Montgomery Co included *945* unlawful votes in its final count: 444 contested provisional ballots and 501 undated ballots. These will be thrown out.
Bob Casey is a shameless Ghoul and Parasite who can’t get over the fact his FATHERS name can’t keep him in the Senate forever.
McCormick race is not close...Ca is close
Do the same for Wisconsin.
I see it took the Surrender Monkeys just four minutes to whine.
There is definite precedent. In 1927, the Republican Senate refused to seat Republican Frank L. Smith of Illinois as a US Senator because corrupt practices were employed during his successful election. One of the major issues was that Smith had spent excessive sums of money during his campaign.
Lee is correct. If Casey steals the election, the Senate ought to refuse to seat him.
Nevada, Arizona, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.
You'd have to do further work on Michigan, which was stolen.
The Michigan thieves are better than the brute-force thieves in WI and PA - and some more than a few Michigan RepukeLickings are in on the Democrat Steal in Michigan.

Yeah, you’re probably right. The Democrats are ruthless. They all play hardball. But many Republicans are still playing a friendly game of wiffle ball.
That county commissioner woman openly said she knew it was illegal to count those ballots and said people break the law all the time so I’m just gonna do this. Trumps new Attorney General should target her immediately. She’s no different than some southern sheriff in the civil rights days doing his thing,.
Trumps department of justice needs to target this corrupt accounting. Especially county commissioners who openly state that there will fully breaking the law because people break the law of the time.
The problem is that once the ballot has been “counted” you cannot retrieve it and subtract it, if a later court decision ruled it cannot be counted. For example, if there is no signature on the envelope, and it gets counted by one of the counties defying the PASC, then it is separated from the envelope and becomes part of an undifferentiated mass of counted ballots. If the Supreme Court of PA restates its ruling and underscores the fact that unsigned mail-in ballots are not to be accepted, you cannot go in and find that specific ballot and back it out of the totals. I’m sure this is why they are being so brazen in deficiance of the PASC, they want the ballots to enter the mass of counted ballots, so the totals cannot be re-adjusted. Go ahead and count the contested ballot forms, BUT KEEP THEM SEPARATE AND DISTINCT from the correct and legally cast ballots, and preserve all of the physical details of the ballot (envelope, etc.) That they are not doing this - kinda gives away what is going on here. It’s Fanken v. Coleman, II.

Sounds like Insurection to me.
Marc Elias has been doing this sort of thing for years in conjunction with the DNC. It meets the requirements for the RICO act. “ Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act “ The DNC is a criminal organization.
