Election deniers? Democrats fight Pennsylvania Senate race results in court

"We just confirmed with our attorneys that the Bucks County Board of Elections will comply with todays [sic] PA Supreme Court Order will not count undated and misdated ballots and these votes will be removed from the County’s vote totals," the county Republican Party added.

Bucks County GOP posted on X on Monday regarding the ruling: "We won! The PA Supreme Court issued a ruling today ordering that all 67 PA County Boards Of Election shall comply with their earlier ruling and SHALL NOT COUNT misdated and undated ballots.

Meanwhile, the national and state Republican parties brought 12 lawsuits in Pennsylvania on Monday regarding the Senate race, some of which were resolved following the commonwealth Supreme Court’s ruling on the undated mail-in ballots.

The court ordered on Monday that all of the commonwealth's counties were not to count mail-in ballots that arrived on Election Day but didn't include dates written on the envelopes by voters, NPR reported.

Elias helped to steal a Senate seat in Minnesota for Al Franken in 2008 by finding a judge to count previously rejected ballots and overturn the lead of Republican Norm Coleman,” the board added.

Democratic election lawyer Marc Elias' law firm filed the suits Monday on behalf of the plaintiffs who are seeking to count additional ballots after McCormick was declared the winner in the election against Casey.

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled before the election that mail-in ballots that don't have proper dates or signatures would not be included in the official results.

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) and Casey's campaign have sued 10 county boards of elections, demanding they count provisional ballots that were already rejected.
