(CNN)Pennsylvania Senate candidate Dave McCormick is pushing for undated mail-in ballots to be counted in his neck-and-neck Republican primary against Mehmet Oz following a court ruling on a different election.
The 3rd US Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia ruled Friday that undated ballots should be counted in a November 2021 election for a county judgeship. The three-judge panel has not yet issued a formal opinion, and the secretary of state has not yet issued guidance about whether this ruling should apply to other elections, including Tuesday's primary race. It's also unclear how many ballots were submitted without a date in the Senate GOP contest in Pennsylvania.
But McCormick, a former hedge fund manager who has outperformed the Donald Trump-endorsed Oz when it comes to mail-in ballots, is seeking to use the ruling to his potential advantage.
A law firm representing McCormick's campaign wrote to all 67 counties in the commonwealth and advised them to count any undated ballots in light of the ruling from the 3rd US Circuit Court of Appeals, and said it would request a formal hearing on the matter if that doesn't happen.

not sure how accurate it is but NBC says there are about 9000 ballots left to count and Oz is up by about 1000
