Pennsylvania Senate Race Heads to Recount Amid Ballot Dispute

Democrats and Republicans clash over the inclusion of undated and disqualified ballots as the recount could impact the final outcome.

Republican Dave McCormick leads incumbent Democrat Bob Casey by over 26,000 votes, triggering an automatic recount under Pennsylvania law.
Democratic officials in several counties are counting undated and disqualified ballots, defying a Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling.
Casey insists on counting every vote, drawing parallels with past recount efforts but facing criticism from Republicans for not conceding.
Republicans have filed multiple lawsuits to prevent the inclusion of undated ballots, arguing it undermines voter confidence.
Despite the recount, officials do not expect the outcome to change significantly, with the process set to conclude by November 26.
