The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) just can’t seem to accept reality. On Monday, the DSCC filed yet another lawsuit, this time targeting Bucks County, Pennsylvania, in an attempt to rescue Sen. Bob Casey after his decisive loss to Republican challenger David McCormick. The lawsuit, centered around just 74 provisional ballots, claims the county’s decision to disqualify these ballots—due to missing secrecy envelopes—violates voters’ constitutional rights and the Help America Vote Act (HAVA).

Let’s get one thing straight: the rules for provisional ballots in Pennsylvania are clear. A secrecy envelope is required—no envelope, no ballot. But now Democrats are crying foul, claiming poll worker errors, not voter mistakes, are to blame. They argue these disqualified ballots represent some kind of catastrophic injustice. Really? Seventy-four ballots? It’s hard to see how this “emergency” lawsuit is about anything other than keeping Casey’s hopeless recount alive while trying to undermine a legitimate Republican victory.

This is just the latest chapter in Pennsylvania’s post-election drama. Casey’s loss to McCormick wasn’t even close, with McCormick leading by 17,000 votes—well beyond the reach of these 74 provisional ballots. Yet Casey refuses to concede, hiding behind Pennsylvania’s automatic recount law, which kicks in for margins under 0.5%. Meanwhile, Republicans have called out Casey’s stunt for what it is—a taxpayer-funded exercise in futility. The recount is projected to cost $1 million, money that could be better spent elsewhere, but hey, when did Democrats ever care about wasting taxpayer dollars?

Republicans are standing firm. As they’ve noted, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court recently ruled that mail-in ballots with missing or incorrect dates cannot be counted—a decision that reinforced the integrity of the election process. Democrats, meanwhile, keep filing lawsuits to try and change the rules mid-game. Casey’s campaign has even gone so far as to accuse Republicans of disenfranchising voters. But here’s the truth: following the law isn’t disenfranchisement—it’s democracy.

If anything, Democrats are the ones undermining trust in the system by refusing to accept the results of a fair election. McCormick’s victory is clear, and Casey’s endless legal shenanigans won’t change that. Instead of wasting everyone’s time and money, maybe Democrats should focus on policies that resonate with voters instead of relying on lawyers to drag out elections they’ve already lost.
