GOP Claims Multiple Voting Irregularities in Pennsylvania Special Election

Republican officials in Pennsylvania allege multiple voting irregularities occurred during Tuesday’s special election for the 18th congressional district. To that end, GOP leaders are seeking a court order to impound every single voting machine used during Tuesday’s balloting.

Additionally, the Pennsylvania Republican Party has hired an independent firm to “look for voting irregularities” after the apparent upset, according to local news station WPXI 11.

For now, Tuesday’s election appears to have been won by Democrat and veteran Conor Lamb–who currently holds a remarkably slim lead over Republican state Representative Rick Saccone.

claims voting irregularities. Especially if the election is close but viably out of reach for a recount to change the outcome.

Al was allowed to take his Senate seat. By the time this is resolved it will be November and there will have been no one representing PA 18.
