PHILADELPHIA — Dave McCormick’s campaign plans to ask the Commonwealth Court for a hand recount of Republican Senate primary votes in specific precincts in 12 Pennsylvania counties, they told reporters Tuesday, as the campaign raised questions about the accuracy of the vote count.
The campaign pointed to discrepancies between vote tallies listed on county websites and those reported by the Department of State, and said there are still questions about how many outstanding ballots remain to be counted, even as a statewide recount has begun.
“I can’t tell you today with full confidence — I can’t tell my client how many votes we have,” a McCormick campaign official told reporters, speaking on the condition of anonymity. “We’re doing a recount of the count that I actually don’t know the results of.”
