Doylestown, Pa. I met Michael and his friends at the Penn Taproom. When he came to know what I do for a living, he said what are you doing here, the election is over.
To which I replied, “Try telling that chapter to Cassie.”
Here in Pennsylvania, the signs are down, the airwaves are free of political ads, but the election won’t be over in a few counties, including Bucks, because a sore loser in the Senate won’t let it happen.
Trump campaign official says Pennsylvania Dems could face jail time over recount
Sen. Bob Casey comes from a Keystone State political family, his father having been a popular governor, and despite all evidence to the contrary, he insists there are still enough ballots to keep him atop a race that has already been called. is For his opponent, Senate-elect Dave McCormick.
Here in Bucks County, and a few others, election commissioners have decided they don’t care that the state Supreme Court has ruled that unsigned or unsigned ballots can’t be counted. They are counting them anyway.
Take Commissioner Diane Ellis Marsiglia, who said last week, “People break laws whenever they want to. So, for me, if I break the law, it’s because I want to.” May the court pay attention. There is nothing more important than the counting of votes.”
Put another way, “Shame on the laws.”
And oh, guess what, and by the way, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court is controlled by Democrats. As one son of Pennsylvania might say, “No joke.”

As the evening wore on, I met two boys named Tom. For literary purposes, I wish they had different names, but that’s it. Both are in their 60s, one retired from Dell, one from Amtrak. They couldn’t have done more different politics, but they agree that it’s time for Casey to give it up and concede.
Amtrak’s Tom, a Republican, was visibly upset. “I’m upset,” he said. It’s done.”
The other Tom agreed, though he didn’t seem too worried about it. But I was told to come on, the writing is on the wall.
Both men were a little surprised but not surprised by the election results. “There were a lot of Trump signs,” Tom, a Democrat, told me. “This is Pennsylvania. We care about politics, but I have never seen anything like this.”
“Conservatives aren’t loud about it, we don’t tend to do yard signs, but this time was different,” said another Tom.
Later in the evening, I met Dave, a lawyer with a shock of gray hair and a kind face that I have no doubt has impressed a few juries in his day. Once again, two guys from Philly with the same name were talking.
He said that there should be a line in the law. “I don’t know how I feel about the ballot being dated or not, but the signature? If that’s the line, it’s reasonable, that’s the law, and the law doesn’t work without those lines that you don’t cross. can.”

Dave is a Democrat, he’s not happy that Trump won, but he also knows that we live in a democracy and in a democracy sometimes your side loses.
If there were people in Pennsylvania who wanted to push back on Bob Casey’s lost cause of overturning his Senate run, people like Dave would be at the forefront of them, but there really isn’t, they have no base. Who thinks Casey really won.
Here in Doylestown, a blue dot in a purple county, life goes on. This is not 2016 or 2020. No one seems to think the sky is falling because Trump, and yes, McCormick, won the election.
In past years, Casey might have succumbed to the wrath of the losing side and protested the Democrats’ uproar on his behalf, but not this year. Both sides just want this election to be over, and it is.

This week, Pennsylvania will spend a million dollars on a recount that not everyone knows is named Casey, just a waste of time and money, the last gasp of a legal wrangle. But no one seems like Casey is a victim here, he’s just a loser.
The game is over, everyone knows, and thankfully most people seem convinced that the election was free, fair and decisive. This is democracy. Sometimes you win, or in Casey’s case, sometimes you just lose fair and square, and Rona can’t do anything to change that.
