Senior Republican Party officials have announced the filing of 12 lawsuits in Pennsylvania to defend their pickup in the closely watched Keystone State Senate race. The lawsuits are part of an effort to protect Republican candidate Dave McCormick's Senate win over three-term incumbent Democrat Sen. Bob Casey, who has secured a statewide recount and refused to concede defeat.
The lawsuits, filed in four counties across Pennsylvania, aim to prevent the counting of mail-in ballots with incorrect or missing dates, in line with a recent Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling. Republican officials have faced resistance from some county Democrat leaders, particularly in Philadelphia, Bucks County, Center County, and Delaware County.
