Daily News | Court battles over ballots in the McCormick-Oz Pennsylvania Senate race have split the GOP
But with a state-mandated recount looming, an undeterred McCormick pushed the state’s highest court to take up his case — even if that meant standing at odds with his party.
An RNC lawyer insisted the party’s decision to fight McCormick in court was not an endorsement of either candidate but a stand for respecting state election laws. He asked the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court on Tuesday to issue an emergency order requiring all counties to include the undated ballots in their counts. When it did not respond by late afternoon, he turned to the state Supreme Court,“The right to vote is sacrosanct,” McCormick’s attorneys wrote in filings Tuesday. “The handwritten date on an exterior mailing envelope that contains a receipt-stamp … is anything but.
The exact number of ballots at issue remains unclear and state officials have not released an official number. Whatever the figure, it is bound to be fraction of the more than 1.3 million votes cast in the May 17 GOP primary.
