Democratic operatives in at least four Pennsylvania counties are acting in defiance of a state Supreme Court ruling.

It’s a bold last-ditch effort to overturn the results in the U.S. Senate race between Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) and his Republican challenger David McCormick .

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled Monday that mail-in ballots missing the date on the outer envelope or having the wrong date cannot be counted for this election.

Bucks County commissioner Diane Ellis-Marseglia admitted to breaking the law knowingly by counting ballots the state Supreme Court said were invalid.

Robert Harvie Jr. called it “a pretty stupid thing” not to count someone’s vote because the date on the envelope and ballot did not match.

Democratic lawyer Marc Elias is involved with the Democratic efforts in the recount.
