Pennsylvania special election may see recount; Lamb, Saccone separated by razor-thin margin

It could come down to a recount.

Democrat Conor Lamb has already declared victory over Republican Rick Saccone in Pennsylvania’s special House election, but Republicans say they aren’t giving up until every vote is counted.

The contest has still not been called, but Lamb leads Saccone by a few hundred votes. There’s no mandatory recount for a federal race in Pennsylvania, but Republicans have the option of petitioning for one.

"This race is too close to call and we’re ready to ensure that every legal vote is counted,” National Republican Congressional Committee spokesman Matt Gorman said late Tuesday. “Once they are, we’re confident Rick Saccone will be the newest Republican member of Congress."

-----

Republicans plan to make three complaints that could form the basis for a recount.

Republicans plan to probe allegations that touch screen machines in Allegheny County were not properly calibrated and could have possibly registered votes for Lamb when the voter intended to vote for Saccone.

These attorneys also plan to allege that GOP attorneys were blocked from observing absentee ballots by Allegheny County election supervisors.

There are also some concerns that the newly court-drawn map for the next election caused confusion.

Everyone with a brain is suspecting Voter fraud. I would look at each and every absentee ballot and cross check. Absentee ballots need to banned or at least be done with computer-generated (from home) fingerprints for any discrepencies.

The Republicans need to find an old Buick with 10,000 votes for Republican Rick Saccone in the trunk and declare him the winner. If the rat commies complain, too bad - election over. You lost. Better luck next time.

>>>I saw that several bus drivers had reported driving busloads of illegals into the district to vote

The bus story comes out every election. Somehow in this day of cell phones, no one is able to actually capture pictures or video of this occurring.

My guess the demodummie will win once those misplaced votes are found in the trunk of someone’s car. Did they even bother to count the absentee military votes? Those votes are frequently received too late to be counted.

Thousands of uncounted absentee ballots. I’ve tried mentioning in the past that absentee ballots aren’t always certified votes (if they won’t make a difference).

Thousands of outstanding votes in an election with a 600-ish vote margin.

Count the votes.

Then recount for ballot stuffing and fraudulent tallying.

Double check those signatures on the absentee ballots. If the voter registered with a group signing up voters, triple check it along with the residence. I believe Dems collect registrations, copy them, and then vote absentee, knowing that a lot of those they registered will not take the time to vote in person.

Have they figured out the % of eligible voters that deigned to turnout for this thing?

I saw a figure but can’t remember; it was quite small.

Another Freeper said 30% in another thread. The average for off year elections is around 40%. So if that’s right, despite the national uproar over this thing, 70% of the actual eligible voters covered by this election just couldn’t be bothered. It’s funny no one ever really makes a big deal about it, but the winner only has around 15% of eligible voters as a mandate.
