Bob Casey

Pennsylvanians deserve to have their voices heard, and the worth of someone’s vote is not determined by how long it takes to be counted.

Currently, our election officials are working through the same process they follow every election.

Our Senate race’s slim margin has drawn attention to this year’s process, but it is going as planned and — no matter how long it takes — is fundamental to our democracy.

As votes are counted, I’m committed to letting the voices of Pennsylvanians be heard and standing up to efforts to silence them.

This stands in stark contrast to national Republicans, who are fighting to throw out the votes of thousands of Pennsylvanians over minor errors.

Right now in Pennsylvania, national Republicans are arguing to disqualify ballots where the voter did everything right, but the poll worker forgot to counter-sign the ballot envelope.

Our hardworking poll workers and election officials are human – and voters should not be penalized for any mistakes they make.

Unfortunately, this democratic process has been subject to repeated right-wing misinformation and allegations of foul play.

I urge the people of Pennsylvania and across the Nation to have patience and allow this constitutional process to play out.

Democracy takes time. We can’t value expediency over fairness.

I remain committed to ensuring every vote is counted, every voice is heard, and that Pennsylvanians can trust in the integrity of our elections — regardless of the final result.

Pennsylvanians deserve to trust that when they cast a vote legally, it is counted.

Regardless of the final result, I am committed to ensuring Pennsylvanians’ voices are heard.

We must value democracy more than expediency | U.S. Sen. Bob Casey I urge the people of Pennsylvania and across the Nation to have patience and allow this constitutional process to play out.

Our Commonwealth ran a free and fair election, and we are still waiting on the final results.

Our election officials will continue counting ballots and ensure that Pennsylvanians’ voices are heard.

“All public service is a trust, given in faith and accepted in honor.”

That’s a phrase I live by. I’m committed to ensuring that Pennsylvanians' voices are heard.

Thank you to the election officials across our Commonwealth who are working diligently over the weekend to ensure Pennsylvanians’ voices are heard.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it now. It’s a beautiful day to count every vote.

Pennsylvania is the birthplace of our democracy — and we must ensure that the voice of every voter from across our Commonwealth is heard in this election.

I have dedicated my life to making sure Pennsylvanians’ voices are heard, whether on the floor of the Senate or in a free and fair election. It has been made clear there are more than 100,000 votes still to be counted.

Pennsylvania is where our democratic process was born. We must allow that process to play out and ensure that every vote that is eligible to be counted will be counted. That is what Pennsylvania deserves.
