Pennsylvania Senate Race Recount Sparks Legal Tensions
TL;DR
Pennsylvania's Senate race between Republican Dave McCormick and Democratic Sen. Bob Casey is heading to a recount due to the narrow margin of just over 29,000 votes, or 0.4% of the total votes cast. State law mandates a recount for any margin under 0.5%. The recount must begin by November 20 and be completed by November 26, with results published on November 27. McCormick's team claims his lead is insurmountable, while Casey has not conceded, emphasizing the importance of the democratic process.
