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.
