[quote=Anonymous]Democratic Sen. Bob Casey of Pennsylvania, who narrowly lost his re-election bid to Republican Senator-elect Dave McCormick, has refused to concede the race.

Moreover, according to one report, Casey has mounted a legal challenge.

The Associated Press called the race for McCormick on Thursday. As of Friday afternoon, the Senator-elect's lead over Casey stood at more than 36,000 votes.

Nonetheless, the Democrat incumbent has chosen to hold his ground, insisting that plenty of votes remain uncounted.

The problem, of course, is that the Associated Press also knew about those outstanding votes.

"McCormick was leading by more than 30,000 votes when AP called the race at 4:09 p.m., and though there were an estimated 91,000 votes still outstanding, there were not enough in areas supporting Casey for him to make up the difference," the outlet explained.

Furthermore, many of the outstanding votes came from deep-red Cambria County, where McCormick led by more than 40 points.

In other words, simple math makes Casey's hopes for victory nearly impossible.

President-elect Donald Trump won Pennsylvania's 19 electoral votes. As of Friday, according to the Associated Press, Trump's margin of victory over Vice President Kamala Harris stood at 142,000 votes.

Thus, McCormick's victory should come as no surprise.

Moreover, no one has raised allegations of fraud.
