Following\u2064 the election,\u200b Democratic Senator\u200d Bob Casey has not conceded defeat to Republican candidate Dave McCormick, despite \u200creports declaring McCormick the winner by a narrow margin. Zito \u200bhighlights the Pennsylvania Supreme Court&#8217;s ruling\u200d against\u200c counting mail-in ballots that lack a handwritten\u2063 date, emphasizing the court\u200d expressed its decision in \u200call caps, suggesting a reprimanding tone towards the \u2062involved parties. She finds the situation amusing, particularly because\u200d the court, which has a Democratic majority, seemed to be responding strongly to perceived misconduct.\u200b Additionally, Zito raises concerns about why Casey is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/kyle-rittenhouse-announces-initiative-to-hold-activist-media-outlets-accountable-in-court-says-he-may-sue-cenk-uygur-whoopi-goldberg\/\" title=\"Kyle Rittenhouse Announces Initiative to Hold Activist Media Outlets Accountable in Court \u2013 Says He May Sue Cenk Uygur, Whoopi Goldberg\">pursuing legal challenges<\/a> that would likely not change\u2064 the election outcome, suggesting this may \u2062be an attempt to set precedents for future \u200celections rather than winning this particular case. As of the \u200dlatest updates, while McCormick has claimed victory and attended Senate orientation, Casey \u2063continues to push for democratic values over\u2063 expediency.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Pennsylvania Supreme Court spelled ruling &lsquo;in all caps&rsquo; to Democrats: Salena Zito<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1885054\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>The <em>Washington Examiner<\/em>&lsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/author\/salena-zito\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Salena Zito<\/a> contended the legal battle over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/pennsylvania\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Pennsylvania<\/a>&lsquo;s Senate race is somewhat &ldquo;funny,&rdquo; specifically how the state Supreme Court spelled out its decision against a recount &ldquo;in all caps.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Two weeks after Election Day, Sen. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/bob-casey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Bob Casey<\/a> (D-PA) has yet to concede his race against his Republican opponent, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/david-mccormick\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Dave McCormick<\/a>, even though multiple outlets have declared McCormick the victor by a thin margin.
