Pennsylvania is in the middle of a recount with Democratic incumbent Sen. Bob Casey refusing to concede the race against Republican Senator-elect Dave McCormick.

Before the election, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled mail-in ballots that lacked required signatures or dates couldn’t be included in the official tally of votes.

Democratic-run election boards in Philadelphia, Bucks and Montgomery counties opposed the ruling. All three counties voted to include the ballots in the recount.

On Monday, Nov. 18, the state Supreme Court ordered the counties to abide by its previous rulings to not count the disputed mail-in ballots.

Democratic Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro asked the election boards to respect the court’s decision.

“The rule of law matters in this commonwealth, and as I have always said, it is critical for counties and officials in both parties to respect it with both their rhetoric and their actions,” Shapiro said in a statement.

As of the morning of Tuesday, Nov. 19, McCormick leads Casey by more than 17,000 votes.
