Even though the Associated Press called the Pennsylvania Senate race for Republican David McCormick a week ago, incumbent Democrat Sen. Bob Casey has refused to concede.
Casey and Democrat attorney Mark Elias publicly contested the election, and the close margin triggered a state recount, though McCormick is still expected to win, Fox News reported. McCormick currently leads Casey by about 29,000 votes. What’s especially interesting about the push to contest the election by Elias is that his website features a link to an article denouncing Sen. Tammy Baldwin’s (D-WI) Republican challenger for failing to concede.
Too perfect. The website of Marc Elias, an attorney for Bob Casey, has this article about how Eric Hovde won’t concede his Wisconsin Senate loss while despite trailing by 29,000 votes. Bob Casey is also down 29,000 votes, and refuses to concede. pic.twitter.com/NREdmIdB7d

Baldwin had the same lead – 29,000 votes – as McCormick does.
