As we noted earlier in the week, soon-to-be-former Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer finally relented and permitted Republican Senator-elect Dave McCormick of Pennsylvania to attend new member orientation. McCormick's name plate showcased his new title, and he took beaming photos outside his new office. Meanwhile, back in Pennsylvania, the longtime incumbent Democrat who lost to McCormick still won't admit he's lost the race. The math has been clear for more than a weak that Bob Casey was defeated and that he has no path to victory. That didn't stop him from enlisting the help of Democrat elections lawyer Marc Elias to try to steal the election. It won't work, but the attempt is galling nevertheless. With all the counting finished in Philadelphia, including adjudicated provisional ballots, McCormick's lead is still in the tens of thousands. More provisional ballots are now being tabulated elsewhere, and it's not going well for Team Casey:

Why is Casey still dragging this out? The margin is close enough to trigger a recount under state law, though recounts rarely flip very many votes -- let alone thousands, or tens of thousands. McCormick allies say a recount is Casey's prerogative, but a waste of time and taxpayer money. What Elias and Casey are really doing, however, is keeping the clock running for as long as possible as they hope to entice some friendly judge into ruling that a bunch of illegal, invalid "votes" should be counted:
#Pennsylvania #Casey’s lawyers are actually in court arguing for the following “votes” to be counted: (1) ballots of NON-registered “voters;” (2) un-signed mail in ballots; (3) mail-in ballots w/o dates; (4) ballots cast in a county where the Voter does NOT live.

They're trying to reframe 'following clear-cut election laws' as 'Republican efforts to disenfranchise voters.' Bob Casey has lost this election, so he's reduced to trying sue for law-breaking in order to revive his dead campaign. It's not going to succeed, but as I said on Fox earlier, this episode marks an ugly and pathetic closing chapter to Casey's journey. He started as the son of a famous politician, turned into an unremarkable career politician, and is now cementing his legacy as a sore loser and election denier at the back end, having achieved astoundingly little in his three terms in the Senate:
This is a pitiful way for Bob Casey to go out, but he *is* going out because he’s lost: pic.twitter.com/uFeNA3OqQn— Guy Benson (@guypbenson) November 14, 2024
Here's what I was talking about, in reference to Elias' failed gambit in Florida, back in 2018:
Mr. Elias, who is representing Senator Bill Nelson, the Democratic incumbent, in the Florida recount, has been at the center of an unusually large number of high-stakes political fights. His role in the Florida battle, in which Mr. Scott’s lead has shrunk from nearly 60,000 votes at the end of election night to less than 13,000 votes out of more than eight million cast, has thrust him even further onto center stage as the Democrats’ lead lawyer and spokesman, making him a tempting foil for Mr. Trump. Last week, Mr. Trump called him out by name, referring to “this guy Elias, who represented Hillary Clinton and a lot of very shady things.” That was an apparent reference to Mr. Elias’s secretly arranging funding from two of his clients — Mrs. Clinton’s presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee — to compile research that became the dossier about Mr. Trump’s ties to Russia.
Yes, Elias spearheaded the funding for the infamous and bogus Steele Dossier, which was at the center of the Russia "collusion" hoax. And yes, Elias tried to swipe Rick Scott's previous Senate victory off the board in a race that was closer than the one he's fraudulently trying to steal in Pennsylvania. He failed. Scott prevailed, and was just re-elected to the Senate by roughly 13 percentage points. Unless the courts throw out the law in Pennsylvania, in order to include thousands and thousands of flagrantly illegal "votes" from counting, Elias will fail again. And Casey will finally have to cope with the reality of being an ex-Senator. I'll leave you with this, from the real winner, as mentioned above:
New office!

And this is just perfectly shameless. It's not about the law, or democracy, or 'counting every vote.' It's about Democrats winning, by hook, or by crook:
Too perfect. The website of Marc Elias, an attorney for Bob Casey, has this article about how Eric Hovde won't concede his Wisconsin Senate loss while despite trailing by 29,000 votes. Bob Casey is also down 29,000 votes, and refuses to concede.

FTA-—Elias, who represented Hillary Clinton did a lot of very shady things....secretly arranging funding from Mrs. Clinton’s presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee — to compile research that became the salacious dossier about Mr. Trump’s ties to Russia......that was totally unfounded and an outright lie.
Yup.
So why did Mike Rogers concede at a loss of 0.3%?
Under Trump/Whatley the RNC is way better, but still not totally on the game.
Didn't the PA Supreme Court already recently rule on such things? And he's asking them to change their minds from just a few weeks ago?
Overturning elections and cheating — both of which undermine “democracy” — is the nature, an entrenched value, of the Democrat/Communist Party. It one of the very few things they excel at.
The rats stole the AZ,NV and WI Senate races and this will make four. As far as I can see not a damn thing is being done about it.
Yup. Elias is rehashing the judgment.
nice to see that the Democrats are back to being the election deniers they always were before Trump did it.
The left has been denying Gore lost to Bush for decades
This:
“The math has been clear for more than a weak that Bob Casey was defeated and that he has no path to victory.”
Should read:
“The math has been clear for more than a WEEK that Bob Casey was defeated and that he has no path to victory.”
Mr. Casey was a fake moderate and now an election denier.
The rats stole the AZ,NV and WI Senate races and this will make four. As far as I can see not a damn thing is being done about it.
You missed MI. This would make five. All efforts were on the presidential race and it was successful. I am wondering if our eyes weren’t on the senate and house races. Trump swept these states but they voted for rat senators? C’mon man!
Come on...you're smarter than that...
Yes of course Mi too. There was a 3am Wayne county (Detroit) ballot dump which gave the Mi Senate race to the rat..again

Rats win, overwhelmingly, when counting goes into OT.
McCormack’s wife looks great in MAGA red.
Notice how they started by counting the Philadelphia provision ballots and stopped when they hit the magic number triggering a recount. 16,000 magically appeared overnight. They have yet to count tens of thousands of the remaining provisional ballots in decidedly red parts of the state.
EC
Recount, recount, recount...
They’re bringing in Al whatsisname, notorious boob grabber, from MN as a consultant.
Talk about election deniers.
Didn’t the democrats make *sure* the bar association let it be know that election denier lawyer who try to fight the will of the people will lose their law license.
