Bucks County commissioners voted to count ballots lacking proper signatures, violating a Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling earlier this year.
The three-member board voted two to one to count these illegal ballots in the Senate race recount.
“I think we all know that precedent by a court doesn't matter anymore in this country, and people violate laws anytime they want,” Diane Marseglia said. “So for me, if I violate this law, it's because I want a court to pay attention to it.”
Board chairman Robert Harviie, Jr., joined Marseglia in voting to accept the ballots that voters signed in one section but not another. Democrats challenged the decision not to count the ballots, placing the blame for the mistake on poll workers who did not double-check the provisional ballots before accepting them.
The board's legal team suggested the commissioners reject the ballots because the Pennsylvania Supreme Court had given clear guidance about signatures being required for votes to count.
There were approximately 124 ballots that would not count because of missing signatures.
Republican Sen.-elect David McCormick won 48.93% of the vote and Democratic incumbent Bob Casey captured 48.50% of the vote, thus triggering a recount.
However, as of Wednesday, there are approximately 80,000 left to be counted, including 20,000 mail-in and absentee ballots and around 60,000 provisional ballots.
Counties must begin their recount on Nov. 20 and have until Nov. 27 to report their results to the Secretary of the Commonwealth.
Casey, the third-term Senator, has not yet conceded the race.
Philadelphia City Commissioners also voted to count a "relatively small number of undated and incorrectly dated mail ballots."
"Republicans filed a petition to the PA Supreme Court against all counties to attempt to stop all counties from counting these ballots," Philadelphia City Commissioners said in a statement to Fox News. "They also filed a statutory appeal challenging Bucks County’s decision to count undated and incorrectly dated mail ballots. We are reviewing the filings."
An RNC official told Fox News that the decisions made by the county election boards were “ridiculous.” The GOP has filed two lawsuits against Bucks County and the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to stop the counting of these ballots.
"The court just ruled on this two weeks ago,” an RNC official said. “And it's just very clear to us that Democrat lawyers and officials see a way to kind of make money off of Bob Casey by trying out this process, but Dave McCormick is already in D.C. to attend Senate orientation."
Republicans hold the majority in the Senate by 52-47 without including Sen.-elect McCormick’s seat.
One an only hope (and pray) !

Somebody lean over and do a side whisper to them, This is not 2020.
Keep changing the rules until they right side is ahead.
I agree.
It’s still not enough. Ed Rendell should tell Casey it’s time to concede
Is this the county Trump was shot in?
Democrats cheating again.
No, that county was Butler.
These peopl should be shot.
I thought it was Beaver
Yup- Democrats will never learn unless they go to prison.
124+ instances of vote fraud can be charged to them too.
What does John Roberts have to do with it?
no Bucks is suburban philidelphia
Beaver County is famous for Joe Namath, if you’re old enough!
Bucks is where to go if you are looking for the widest selection of antiques or RV’s. Otherwise there’s really no point to it.
This may go all the way to SCOTUS.
The PSC is full of die hard demoncrap judges.
Can’t this be emergency appealed to the state SC? This is patently illegal.
Never mind, I see my answer to that is in the article.
