(Harrisburg, PA) On Monday, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania prohibited ballots without correct dates on them to be counted in the United States Senate vote between Democrat Bob Casey and Republican David McCormick. McCormick still leads the way with an estimate of over seventeen thousand votes at the beginning of this week, leading up to the half of a percent spread to cause the votes to be retallied. It is a shift between the two sides, with Republicans wanting to stop using the ballots in Democrat counties, like Bucks, Montgomery, and the city of Philadelphia, asserting that the date is very important. Even though mail-in ballots were sent in more by Democrats, the lawyer of McCormick confirmed to a state judge that waiting for the vote of the people adheres to Pennsylvania law.
