Senator Mike Lee of Utah has raised concerns about Senator Bob Casey's refusal to concede the Pennsylvania election, suggesting that the Senate could refuse to seat him if he continues to rely on what Lee calls 'illegal votes.' Lee cited Article I, Sec. 5, Cl. 1, which gives each House the authority to judge the Elections, Returns, and Qualifications of its own Members.
The Pennsylvania Senate race is currently undergoing a recount after Republican Sen.-elect Dave McCormick won by a narrow margin triggering an automatic recount under state law. Despite multiple outlets calling the race, Casey has refused to concede, insisting on waiting until all votes are counted.
