Republican Dave McCormick was ahead of Democrat Bob Casey last week by more than 30,000 votes yet Casey refused to concede.

“This race is within half a point and cannot be called while the votes of thousands of Pennsylvanians are still being counted. We will make sure every Pennsylvanian’s voice is heard.”
