I think we all knew the Pennsylvania GOP Senate primary race was going to be close, but wow, it’s really close. As of right now, only 1,750 votes separate Mehmet Oz and David McCormick, or a mere .2% of the more than 1.3 million votes cast.
According to the Philadelphia Enquirer there are approximately 105,000 mail-in ballots to be counted and no one knows how many of them are republican ballots. Politico is estimating around 21,000 of them are republican ballots.
Regardless of the outcome from the mail-in ballots, it seems a recount is a certainty as Pennsylvania state law requires an automatic recount if the difference is less than half of one percent (.50%).
PENNSYLVANIA – […] Pennsylvania law requires an automatic statewide recount if the top two candidates in a race are within half a percentage point of each other, which Oz and McCormick currently are.
The secretary of state will make that determination by “the second Thursday following the day of the election,” which would be May 26.
The recount would be run by the individual counties, and it would have to start no later than June 1 and be completed by noon on June 7. Counties would have to submit results to the state by June 8. (Non-recounted races need to be certified by June 6.)
Recounts rarely change the results of elections, even incredibly close ones. Races with margins even in the low thousands usually hold. But in the closest of elections, small shifts in the corrected count can have an effect on the eventual winner. (read more)
In the big picture it looks like the GOPe effort to split the MAGA base to benefit David McCormick almost worked. Kathy Barnette ended up a strong third place.
The only factor that pushed Dr. Oz to the top of the race was the endorsement by President Donald Trump. Without President Trump’s endorsement there’s no way Dr Oz could have won (perhaps) Pennsylvania.
Hopefully that means Oz will keep America-First at the very top of the policy agenda as he heads into the general election against a big time socialist, John Fetterman, the Democrat candidate.
In the interim, it looks like we will have to wait until after June 8th to know the official winner on the republican side.
One thing is for sure in the end of this… You’ll have two “Republicans” squabbling over who’s the better social political progressive for democracy.
And not a ounce of conservatism will be found.
And the Republican supporters think this is the way to regaining the party.
Oh my … We need IQ tests!
For voters And candidates!
Splitter strategy with Trump and his followers as pawns.
What, did the mail truck coming out of New York breakdown?
THIS….Mmmm frustrating.
They needed time to ensure that their preferred candidate got elected.
The night is crawling with GOPe creatures spewing their “never trump” talking points…….I voted for him but never again…… he won’t do what we tell him to do…….yadda, yadda, yadda.
President Trump beat you GOPes again and again and again (80+ to 3)……….get over it.
Go back to the dc swamp and cry in your soy juice.
You lost “The Decisive Battle” over a year ago when President Trump didn’t concede.
In many other places around the world, multiple layers of checks and balances are carefully devised to eliminate the risks of election theft.
But now in Pennsylvania and many other states, multiple layers of checks and balances have been carefully devised to facilitate election theft.
It is a fault-tolerant system, self-healing, with built in redundancies, and cascading defenses in-depth, carefully and thoroughly engineered to protect against unauthorized voter and candidate attacks upon it and its pre-programmed outcomes.
There are USB-programmable, remotely-accessible and digitally-manipulated Dominion machines, to prevent an accurate vote count on election day. This is the first line of defense against an honest election, and the candidates and voters who seek to create such irregularities.
And there is also a separate, fully-independent and autonomous mail in ballot system to assure additional defense against an honest outcome, should the programmed digital algorithms and remote adjustment capabilities of the Dominion election day component prove insufficient to do.
While independent in design and function, these system elements can be configured to operate separately or simultaneously, both in parallel or in series, with intelligently adaptable intensities for each, at the complete discretion of the election outcome operators — allowing true fault-tolerant defense against candidate and voter attacks on the programmed outcome.
Donald Trump intentionally tested multiple layers of this election fraud system in the 2020 election, without Uniparty authorization to do so, in what could best be described as a DDOS attack of votes, overwhelming the election day protection elements of the system.
To halt this unauthorized attack, the Dominion element was placed into automatic shutdown by the outcome operators at approximately 10:30 pm that evening, to prevent further spread of the voter attack on the wider system, and possibly corrupt the programmed outcome.
At that point, the system switched over fully to the backup mail in system. That element operated as designed, absorbing the massive voter breach, by generating sufficient artificial ballots, in both volume and intensity, to offset the voter damage being caused.
The system was proven sufficiently robust enough to recover from the failure of the Dominion element, with the mail in component fully engaging into protection mode, diverting the voter surge in a precisely timed and calibrated artificial ballot dump generation, saving the programmed outcome from destruction.
And the 2020 attempt at an honest result caused from the excessive voter intrusion attack on the system was successfully thwarted. No harm to the programmed outcome was reported.
The efficiency and effectiveness of this cascading defense, fault-tolerant, self-healing election theft system has only been improved since that event.
Enhanced by proven legacy technologies such as deceased ballot and conventional ballot destruction protections, this election outcome system now presents a complete defense against all unauthorized candidate and electorate attacks, even including difficult zero-day attacks by the most determined candidates and voters.
And how sad is all of this.
Well said.
Let me sum up your brilliant synopsis. WE ARE NOT VOTING OUR WAY OUT!!!!!!!
I know it’s easy to say. It’s really sad and I don’t have the answers I’m sorry. It’s horrible what happened in 2020. Globohomo exposed his face because he had nothing to lose. Then pulled a frame job on J6 to convince people it was good Trump was on his way out.
Well played Globohomo, well played. But now Russia and China are ducking you. Enjoy it bitches because even if we all circle the drain you will be the first sucked under. If you go to ground the Chinese will find you in your holes. The Russians will find you on your yachts. I hope they feed you to me.
I would say Candidate DJT, in 2016 first overwhelmed the system, but they did not expect it, due in part to DJY supporters refusing to be polled.
They were “caught flat footed” with no ‘backup’ method of generating a bunch of fake paper ballots.
Hence, Covid released, to A) derail the Trump economy B) be used to justify massive mail out ballots, in order to have a “backup” plan, in 2020.
And it could not have been carried out, without Republican party officials, in leadership positions, countenancing and participating.
Dutchman for the win! Again.

PENNSYLVANIA UPDATE:
This AM: 1031344 EDay, 87382 mail
Now: 1059639 EDay (+28K), 97855 mail (+11K)
Also, 68 provisionals have been tallied
(1/)
The mail this AM was 44-31 McCormick over Oz, and after 11K more ballots counted, still 44031 McCormick
Election Day this AM was 36.4-35.2 Oz over McCormick. With addtl ballots counted, Oz has roughly maintained his lead with 36.3-35.0
(2/)
This AM, 13 counties (including Lancaster) had NO mail reported. Now it’s down to 7 counties (incl Lancaster, which apparently had problems)
Those counties had 77K EDay votes, and I estimate that’s 6200 more mail ins to count
(3/)
Dr Oz up +1278, and in those 7 counties with NO mail counted, the EDay vote was 26.1K McCormick to 24.4K Oz (26.9 Barnette)
So maybe 700-1000 more McCormick ballots from those counties with no mail counted ?

I think,
WHEN the new MEGA SENATOR Doctor OZ unleashes his campaign promises
on the senate floor his UNMASKING
of covid fear will have just begun.
I look forward to it.
https://doctoroz.com/why-running/
……” Witnessing our nation’s failings of Covid, I learned that when you mix politics and medicine, you get politics instead of solutions.
That’s why I am running for United States Senate—to help fix the problems and to help us all heal…….Nobel Laureates, were cancelled and ridiculed so their ideas could not be disseminated.
Doctors were forbidden from prescribing legal medications for the first time in our nation’s history.
I tried to fund clinical trials to re-purpose an already widely used drug for possible benefits against Covid-19,
but they were banned. Instead, government mandated policies that caused unnecessary suffering……”
Oz has no chance I would be shocked if they “allowed” him to win.
Down to 1240 votes now.
But this splinter strategy thing doesn’t apply here, IMO. In fact, I think the sudden “surge” that Barnette supposedly had was a creation of those who wanted Oz to win. She never had that level of support, as the results indicate. McCormick gained from people like me who were Bartos and Sands supporters who switched over to him as a best of the rest pick
You voted for a Decepticon. Mitch’s candidate. SMH
You should do some independent research before you spout talking points. Do you honestly believe that Robert Lighthizer, Trump’s trade architect, would back a GOPe candidate?
IMO, Oz should not be allowed to run in a state he hasn’t lived in. I don’t hate the guy, but that’s a no go for me. And Barnette clearly wasn’t ready for primetime.
I’ve done plenty of research:
McCormick hasn’t lived in PA for years! He grew up there. He lived in CT and only bought a house in PA in November to run for this race. He is for “free trade” and is a globalist. He ran a hedge fund heavily invested in China and again, he is Mitch McConnell and Mike Pompeo’s candidate. He also said Trump bears a lot of responsibility for the January 6 riots.
https://www.inquirer.com/politics/election/david-mccormick-senate-2022-pennsylvania-primary-election-20220503.html
“David came out very strongly against me on numerous occasions. This was before he was going to run all of a sudden, he said, ‘Boy, I like this guy a lot.’ Including with respect to the disinformation spread about January 6, total disinformation,” Trump said.
“I do know that he was with a company that managed money for Communist China. And he is absolutely the candidate of special interest and globalists, and the Washington establishment and those are the people that are not only spending millions and millions of dollars on his campaign. They have unlimited money to just try and destroy Oz. But they want to destroy this great warrior and a truly nice person, not gonna do it. And they’re also the people that are ripping off the United States with the bad trade deals, open borders, and every other thing that the people in this audience will never stand for.”
His wife, Dina Powell, undermined Trump in his administration and then went back to Goldman Sachs. She is on the board of the Bush Center.

No doubt. M(b)itch knew a vote for KB, was not about the content or character of her campaign.
I doubt it. Sands results reflect her polling. She never really stood a chance. I wish she dropped out a while ago. I think all the undecideds scattered around Oz and McCormick. Everyone really reflected their polling.
Did anyone see McCormick on Laura Ingraham? He knows he has it wrapped up and was disgustingly smug. How does he know? He used ballot harvesters and mules to win the mail in vote by a huge margin. With 20,000 mail in ballots still out there he’ll easily make up the 1500 votes he’s down now and win by four or five thousand. I’d be willing to bet McConnell told him exactly how to do it.
Dude, get away from the ledge before you fall off.
What would you expect DM or Oz to say right now? Of course you think you’re going to win, that’s why you ran for the office! Are they supposed to do an Eeyore and say all hope is lost?
McCormick had a good ground game and did a good job with absentee ballots. As Selena Zito said on the same show, his teams effort will likely pull this off.
He forgot KB the splitter/spoiler on mail-in’s too. It’ll be Oz for the win….as Sundance says because of DJT.
KB was in the race before OZ, so I’m pretty sure that would make OZ the splitter.
Where am I going wrong? Is the GOP now like the Democrats? That rhetorical question. I asked my friend tonight who won. We can’t figure shit out in a day in this day and age of modern technology? Hey kids I remember back in the day we could tell you who won on election night. Am I reading this wrong, is there a runoff?
Once again, my state of Pennsylvania proves what a complete F-up we are when it comes to holding elections.
It’s a feature not a bug.
If the Inquirer’s numbers are correct, Mr Oz may survive!
Democrats are forging those mail-in ballots for McCormick as we speak!
An absolute load of BS. Paper ballots, same day voting, results that night. Full stop.
Yes, this time the vote count is legitimate. McCormick received all those votes. I’m sure of it.
Me smells a big rat
McCormick is stealing it.
as Rudy quoted….”when are they going to stop counting?…..When their guy wins”
Let’s face it. The candidates in this local election weren’t that great. I’m not really hopeful about Oz, but if the dem candidate is as crazy as I hear, then Oz may just squeak through a victory. Whether he’ll do anything remotely America First, I strongly doubt. Don’t ever forget who pushed this guy when things go south (amnesty, gun control, transgendermania) in the Senate: Hannity and others.
It’s over for OZ, the establishment will win.
