The Pennsylvania secretary of state officially ordered a statewide recount in the Republican Senate primary race between David McCormick and Dr. Mehmet Oz on Wednesday.
Wednesday that about 10,000 ballots were outstanding and that 6,000 of those were mail-in or absentee ballots and 4,000 were provisional ballots, according toThe department noted it did not have a breakdown by party of the ballots, meaning many of the 10,000 ballots left could be Democrat primary ballots as Democrats historically outnumber Republicans in mail-in voting.
The state accepted military and overseas ballots through Tuesday at 5:00 p.m., and said that of the 6,000 mail-in and absentee ballots left, an estimated 3,000 of those were military and overseas ballots.an estimate last week of military ballots specifically, saying it believed more than 1,500 were outstanding and that it had expected about 1,000 of those to be Republican ballots.
“I don’t think the Fetterman-Conor Lamb campaigns inspired a lot of participation, but if you give us 1,000 of those, I think they’d probably pick the 82nd Airborne paratrooper over the Turkish Army surgeon,” the McCormick official said in reference to Oz’s prior stint doing medical work for the Turkish military.by McCormick, who is seeking to have counties count any rejected or uncounted mail-in ballots that came in undated envelopes.
“These ballots were indisputably submitted on time—they were date-stamped upon receipt—and no fraud or irregularity has been alleged. The Boards’ only basis for disenfranchising these voters is a technical error that is immaterial under both state and federal law,” McCormick’s lawsuit reads. The lawsuit comes after a Third Circuit Court determined Friday in a case out of Lehigh County that undated ballots from a prior election in that particular county be counted, and McCormick is asking all counties to apply this decision immediately so that undated mail-in ballots in the Senate primary be counted.McCormick would likely benefit from counting undated mail-in ballots as he has typically performed better with mail-in ballots than Oz.
