Trump campaign official says Pennsylvania Dems will face jail time over ballot recount | 18 Nov 2024 | Trump campaign official Chris LaCivita predicted election officials in Pennsylvania will face jail time for counting mail-in ballots with either incorrect or missing dates after the state Supreme Court previously ruled such ballots should not be counted. "They will go to jail," LaCivita, Trump's co-campaign manager, posted to his X account on Sunday evening. "Count on it." LaCivita was reacting to a social media post touting a Washington Free Beacon article detailing that Democratic Sen. Bob Casey endorsed Democratic Bucks County commissioner Diane Ellis-Marseglia last year during her campaign for the position, before she and other Democratic commissioners in the state voted to count the disqualified ballots. "I think we all know that precedent by a court doesn’t matter anymore in this country," Ellis-Marseglia said Thursday as she and other Democrats voted to reject a GOP-led challenge to ballots that should be disqualified.
