4. The count continues

Senator Casey is not alleging fraud. He is seeking a full count.

The republicans are arguing against counting votes that are missing a date on the envelope even though it is obvious to everyone with a brain that the votes were mailed on time. The republicans also want to exclude votes cast by voters in the wrong precinct. The PA GOP claims those votes cannot be proven, which argument is silly on its face.

So what a voter voted in the wrong precinct? This is a statewide race.

Basically, the AP called the race too soon (& has now backtracked) and the GOP wants all counting to stop yesterday while throwing out obviously legitimate votes.

There is nothing new here that the GOP did not pull against Al Franken. The only difference is a ton of our press and some democrats seem intent on accepting bad faith arguments from the GOP.
