The Washington Post's left-leaning editorial board published a scathing article about Pennsylvania Democrats who voted to count invalid ballots during the Senate race recount between Bob Casey (D-PA) and his Republican challenger, Dave McCormick.

Titled “Democrats thumb their nose at the rule of law in Pennsylvania,” accused Casey and his Democrat allies of scheming the election integrity laws to count invalid provisional ballots that favored Casey.

The mere attempt to defy judicial rulings is corrosive to democracy and invites similar behavior in future elections. Democrats would surely protest if a Republican commissioner made the same statement to justify tipping the scales for their party’s Senate nominee — and they would be right. Elections need rules established in advance of the voting, and those rules must be applied equally and consistently.

Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court, by the way, includes five justices elected in partisan elections as Democrats and just two elected as Republicans. Even if that partisan balance were reversed, however, the court’s authority would be equally legitimate.

The race has been called for McCormick by several outlets, including the Associated Press and Decision Desk HQ. The Republican has also been attending Capitol Hill meetings and has an office. However, Casey has refused to concede.

The Pennsylvania race is currently in the middle of a recount, which is required under the state’s election law if a race is decided by less than half of a percentage point.

The WaPo op-ed admitted that Casey "almost certainly lost the race," accusing Democrats of being sore losers— “especially if they want to continue claiming theirs is the party of democracy.”

HBO’s Bill Maher attempted to defend Casey’s recount demand, saying that “one side accepts election losses and one side doesn’t.”

“You know that if Trump had lost this election, right now, we would be talking about the votes that are still coming in in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, and he’d be in the courts, and we would just be all in a tigger,” Maher said.

Democrat shenanigans require a perfect media echo chamber to be effective. Even a slight deviation from perfect orthodoxy on the part of Washington Post, like this one, is enough to spoil everything.

The Republicans took the Senate, so it doesn’t make much sense for him to keep this up.

Ballot counting will conclude on November 40th, or whenever Bob the Dim gets 2 votes ahead

This is the type of thing militia is for.

The second amendment, right to bear arms, doesn’t just mean marching in formation. Arms may be used to overthrow tyranny.

Denying an elected office is just such a thing.

Fraud in a federal election is a federal matter. This is disenfranchisement of legitimate voters. A reformed DOJ must take this up. Investigation and prosecution for those engaged in the fraud. The DOJ was actually created in 1870 to address voting rights for newly freed blacks.

The less seats the Republicans have, the more that Assistant Democrats like Murky and Susie can affect the Senate political outcomes.

I'll even go so far as to say that The Senate Steals in Arizona, Michigan, Nevada and Wisconsin were part of the Uniparty Plan, aided and abetted by Mitch "The Little Uniparty B*tch" McConnell.

The BMitch got Murky back in 2022, after all.

And look how he funded LoserBoy Larry "Nice Hogans" Hogan, and refused to fund Kari Lake & Eric Hovde.

Given the many Senate RINOs, it does. Same for the House, and same for the Populate Vote mandate.

The ongoing steal is to ironically boost Rat morale, and also weaken Trump’s Congressional majority.

The time to move beyond the election honeymoon was Nov 7th. The time is now to build the political army that’ll unseat the RINO in the 2026 Primaries.

I wonder if the Washington Post and a lot of liberal media secretly know how much of a disaster Kamala Harris presidency would be. I wonder if they realize how bad things have gotten and even though they hate the man there’s a sigh of relief that Trump was elected.

Almost like when Massachusetts votes into office, a Republican governer periodically to clean up the absolute disasters of the previous Democrat governors. It’s like they have a moment of clarity in the voting booth before they go back to their liberal idiocy
