Bucks County Dem ‘apologizes’ for trying to steal the Pennsylvania senate race

(FOX NEWS) – A Democratic Pennsylvania election official apologized on Wednesday for controversially claiming that court precedent “doesn’t matter in this country,” as the recount in the U.S. Senate race begins in the state.

In a meeting last week, Bucks County Commissioner Diane Ellis-Marseglia, a Democrat, voted to count provisional ballots that were missing one of two required voter signatures. She did so after being told by a county attorney that the state Supreme Court had already ruled that such ballots cannot be counted.

“We all know that precedent by a court doesn’t matter anymore in this country and people violate laws any time they want,” Ellis-Marseglia said in a clip that has since gone viral on social media. “So for me, if I violate this law, it’s because I want a court to pay attention to it. There is nothing more important than counting votes.”
