Election Denier: Top Senate Democrat Still Refuses to Concede Race as Post-Election Tantrum Continues
WASHINGTON, D.C. (Texas Insider Report) — As of this approximate moment, Republican Pennsylvania Senator-Elect Dave McCormick leads Democrat incumbent Sen. Bob Casey – who's representing the State of Denial – by 29,290 votes. And, there are about 80,000 Provisional Ballots still to be reviewed.
This means that Problem #1 for Mr. Casey is, even if all those Provisional Ballots are legitimate, he would need to win almost 70% of them to win.
Provisional ballots are conditional votes cast by people whose registrations could not immediately be confirmed by poll workers when checking in the state's Registered Voters Database.Logiclally and historically, some number of those provisional ballots will not be counted because the voters were not registered.
So, it turns out that stubbornly and irrationally denying the legitimate results of an election is not the worst thing an elected official can do – otherwise, it would be getting more widespread media criticism, and Americans would perhaps be hearing at least something about it.
In Pennsylvania, 20 Counties have yet to report their "provisional" ballots:
Beaver, Berks, Cambria, Cameron, Carbon, Crawford, Cumberland, Fayette, Fulton, Lawrence, Lebanon, Luzerne, McKean, Schuylkill, Somerset and York counties were all won by Republican Mr. McCormick – often by wide margins – and Northampton was narrowly won by McCormick (above, on right,) 49.2% to 48.4%.
Delaware and Montgomery counties were won by Mr. Casey (above, on left;) Erie County was narrowly for Casey, 49.4% to 48.1%.
Delaware and Montgomery counties were won by Mr. Casey (above, on left;) Erie County was narrowly for Casey, 49.4% to 48.1%.
In other words, Casey’s “path to victory” is to win more than two-thirds of the remaining uncounted ballots in a bunch of deep-red counties.
The math doesn’t add up.
There just aren’t enough potential Democrat votes in those counties.
But we saw a similar rejection of election results from Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams two years earlier, and she became a Democratic hero – literally wearing a cape in one photoshoot – and she became a favorite subject of the Democrats’ celebrity-industrial complex.
In other words, Abrams’s denial of election results was forgivable – while Trump’s was the trigger for “the worst attack on democracy since the Civil War.”
In Biden’s words, Casey’s denial is just a prudent desire to see every vote counted.

The Mighty Casey Has Struck Out
You don’t have to be Columbo to recognize a suspicious pattern in which a Democrat candidate’s denial of election results is excusable, but a Republican candidate’s denial of election results is a "dangerous threat" to American governance – or even "Our Democracy."
