Nazis cannot be rehabilitated. They cannot be "imperfect allies." They have shown that they are willing to wipe out an entire country of people, and their supporters have shown that even if they don't like that, they view certain people as acceptable sacrifices.

The results of a hotly contested Senate race in Pennsylvania are headed to an automatic recount after neither candidate won by a large enough margin, Pennsylvania’s top elections official announced Wednesday.

The Associated Press declared Republican Dave McCormick, a former hedge fund manager, the winner over Sen. Bob Casey (D) on Nov. 7, two days after voting concluded. If officially certified, McCormick’s win would grant Republicans, who have already retaken the Senate, a 53-seat majority in the upper legislative chamber. But Casey has refused to accept the AP’s race call, citing the tens of thousands of provisional, mail-in and absentee ballots that have yet to be counted. What’s more, Pennsylvania law mandates a recount if an election is won by less than half of a percentage point. And on Wednesday, with more than 80,000 provisional, mail-in, and absentee ballots still outstanding, Pennsylvania Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt declared that the “unofficial results” mandated a recount, since McCormick’s lead is still only 0.43%. “Senator-Elect McCormick’s lead is insurmountable, which the AP made clear in calling the race,” McCormick campaign spokesperson Elizabeth Gregory said in a statement responding to the recount announcement. “A recount will be a waste of time and taxpayer money, but it is Senator Casey’s prerogative. Senator-Elect McCormick knows what it’s like to lose an election and is sure Senator Casey will eventually reach the right conclusion.”

Perhaps you've noticed that the US Senate race in Pennsylvania is still up in the air. The AP has called it for the GOP candidate but there are still quite a few votes not yet counted.

On Thursday, the Associated Press called the race in favor of former hedge-fund CEO Dave McCormick, who, in his second attempt at the U.S. Senate, challenged Democratic incumbent Bob Casey. Other news outlets such as NBC News, CNN, and the New York Times have yet to officially call the race. However, Casey, the three-term senator, has held off on conceding, citing the slim margin between him and McCormick as well as the number of outstanding ballots that have yet to be counted. Per the AP, Casey currently trails McCormick by 39,545 votes. [ ... ] The Casey campaign has pointed to a statement from Al Schmidt, the state’s secretary of State, who said Thursday that there are an estimated 100,000 ballots remaining to be processed. In addition to Election Day votes, the outstanding votes include provisional, military, and overseas ballots. In a Monday press release, the campaign noted that provisional ballots “broke overwhelmingly” for John Fetterman in 2022 at a larger margin than Casey currently needs to overtake McCormick. Fetterman would later go on to win his Senate seat over his Republican challenger Mehmet Oz. The Philadelphia Inquirer reported Friday that the McCormick campaign had filed a lawsuit seeking to challenge tens of thousands of provisional ballots from Philadelphia, a traditionally blue city, as well as a request for a Republican observer for the processing of those ballots. The judge denied McCormick’s observer request, prompting his team to pull the other lawsuit which they could later refile, per WHYY. [ ... ] As the ballot counting enters a new week, Casey appears determined to hold out until the very last vote. “Our Commonwealth ran a free and fair election, and we are still waiting on the final results.  Our election officials will continue counting ballots and ensure that Pennsylvanians’ voices are heard,” Casey said Monday.
