A Democratic official in Bucks County, Pennsylvania is facing calls for her arrest following a brazen defense of her vote to defy a court order and count questionable mail-in ballots in the contested U.S. Senate race.
Diane Ellis-Marseglia, one of three commissioners who oversee election proceedings for the suburban county north of Philadelphia, told reporters last week that a ruling by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court invalidating certain absentee ballots “doesn’t matter” and that local election officials should count them anyway. The defiant stance comes as Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) is grappling with a last-ditch recount effort despite trailing Republican Dave McCormick by more than 25,000 votes. “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 viral social media clip, Fox News reported. “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.”

Saying the quiet part out loud may have done too much damage, however. On social media, users ratcheted up their demands for consequences. “Trying to overturn an election by counting illegal ballots is a crime & that’s exactly what Diane-Ellis Marseglia and Bob Harvie did,” one user wrote, referencing another Democratic member of the commission who voted to count the contested ballots. “Raise your hand if you think they should be arrested, prosecuted and put in prison.”

The counting of ballots without proper signatures has emerged as a flashpoint in the recount effort. Earlier this month the state’s high court ordered that mail-in ballots not be counted unless they contain signatures on outside envelopes matching the signatures for voters that the state has on file. Casey has refused to concede the race even though the AP has called it for McCormick, who has already been invited to Senate onboarding meetings where he was designated “Senator-elect.”
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, a possible 2028 contender, came to Ellis-Marseglia’s defense in a statement on Wednesday saying she and other commissioners faced a lack of legal clarity and were “damned if they did and damned if they didn’t — likely facing legal action no matter which decision they made on counting.”
Commentary:
According to Neo- Marxist Democrats, "only republicans can be “election deniers”,
only republicans can be “insurrectionists”,
If you are Neo--Marxist Democrat and you defy supreme court, you are just “Protecting Democracy”
One of the first acts of the new DOJ should be to arrest and charge this woman along with the other Democrats in Bucks County sitting on that county commission and voted to count illegal ballots.
Hey, if alternate electors for Trump are going to be charged with a crime for it.....even though alternate electors have been used since the founding of the Republic....fine. Now its a crime when their side tries to “deny” elections or count illegal ballots. Goose, gander.
