From AND Magazine: "The Democratic Counterattack Begins In Pennsylvania." Republican Dave McCormick ran for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania, squeaking out a victory over his Democrat rival, Bob Casey ... or so most people thought. But Casey never conceded, and, as the article relates, "[o]ver the last week, three separate Pennsylvania counties, Bucks, Centre, and Montgomery plus the city of Philadelphia began to count illegal ballots [i.e., ballots with legal defects] and add them to Casey’s total." Of course, most of these ballots went for Casey. The purpose of this was narrow McCormick's lead over Casey to less than 0.5% in order to trigger a mandatory recount under state law and, by that process, hand the victory to Casey.
And so far the plan is succeeding. The article notes that additional counties started counting the illegal ballots and, now, a state-wide recount has been ordered. Undoubtedly the necessary ballots supporting Casey will be found and the Republicans will lose one of the senate seats they thought was theirs.
As the AND Magazine article relates, this is no small matter:
A President can appoint anyone he wants to his Cabinet. Those appointees still have to be approved by the Senate. The balance of power in the Senate, therefore, becomes everything. If you can’t get the men and women you need through that body you may find your dreams of cleaning house in D.C. stillborn.
The lesson from this is that the forces of evil may have suffered a setback, but they are not out of the game by a long shot.
Treason.
