McCormick Pushes For Hand Recount In Senate Race Nailbiter

Has someone told Dave McCormick that Alito, Skanky Turdface, the Famiglia and the Organization have already decided he is not the one. His goose is cooked. Achmet Oz is the Chosen One.

I agree.

If we can drag out this feud till November that will be ideal.

I would think it is more then picking Oz, which is what Alito is clearly doing, but also setting the stage for throwing out ballots in future elections and also deciding who, a Republican legislature versus a anyone else to include state and federal courts and especially a Democrat Secretary of State, gets to decide how election ballots are counted.

undated ballots

Now that that’s resolved, let’s take up another critical issue… should we count ballots from people who only licked the center of the envelope and not the full length.

They, the RNC, wants to blame Obama.
Trump needs to step up to help them out.

Stop the steal takes on a whole new meaning. Is Republican infighting cannibalism or hippophagy?

Smart move by McCormick. It forces the issue. Alito’s move gives new meaning to ‘activist court’. What will the scotus do? Where is this going?

I don’t know, but I suspect it involves handbaskets.

On Tuesday, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito paused a lower court’s ruling in a Pennsylvania county judicial race that there was “no basis” to “refuse to count undated ballots.” Alito’s pause brings the county judicial race to SCOTUS and could impact the Senate race as the full Supreme Court decides on whether undated ballots ought to be counted.

This is bullshit!

They should count all mail-in ballots—whether undated or even incorrectly dated—provided that they were received on time.

Alito is out of line, but are there any requirements you’re willing to enforce?

They’re the worst. Why do we even let them vote? (yes, this is snark … it’s so hard to know for sure these days)

I’m afraid you’re right.

Are there any requirements you would enforce? Or are elections just total free-for-alls as far as you’re concerned?

I need a hand recount of my own feelings about this. I’ve heard McCormick is considered slightly more effective than Oz, so that’s bad. But if Oz wins, that makes Trump happy, and we don’t want that either. :thinking:
