Casey and the Brat

Yes, and he might pull it off too if the GOP doesn't wake up.
WSJ — Marc Elias is trying to steal the Pennsylvania election
FTA:
The article points out Elias has pulled this sort of thing in times past, most notably against Norm Coleman in Minnesota where he stole the Senate seat for Al Franken. Elias will judge-shop and find one who will back him, and since the state supreme court is filled with Democrats they will probably pull it off if it comes to that. Since this is a state matter it is unlikely the Federal courts will get involved.
When are the Republicans going to learn how to counter this kind of thing?

As we write this midday Sunday, the state still has some 87,000 provisional ballots to count. Provisional means the ballots are in question for one legal reason or another, such as not following proper mail-ballot procedure or perhaps a question about voter registration. Mr. Casey is claiming this means he could still overcome Mr. McCormick’s lead.
That’s highly unlikely. About 30,000 provisional ballots are outstanding from Philadelphia and Allegheny County, both Casey strongholds. The others come from the rest of the state, where Mr. McCormick did better. Mr. Casey has won the 7,700 or so provisional ballots counted so far by about 54%-46%. If that margin prevails for the rest of the provisional counting, there’s no way Mr. Casey can win.
Mr. McCormick’s margin could nonetheless fall below 0.5%, which would trigger an automatic recount under state law. His margin as of Sunday midday was slightly above that.
