By MARC LEVY HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Democratic Sen. Bob Casey of Pennsylvania conceded his reelection bid to Republican David McCormick on Thursday, as a statewide recount showed no signs of closing the gap and his campaign suffered repeated blows in court in its effort to get potentially favorable ballots counted. Casey’s concession comes more than two weeks after Election Day, as a grindingly slow ballot-counting process became a spectacle of hours-long election board meetings, social media outrage, lawsuits and accusations that some county officials were openly flouting the law. Republicans had been claiming that Democrats were trying to steal McCormick’s seat by counting “illegal votes.” Casey’s campaign had accused of Republicans of trying to block enough votes to prevent him from pulling ahead and winning. In a statement, Casey said he had just called McCormick to congratulate him. “As the first count of ballots is completed, Pennsylvanians can move forward with the knowledge that their voices were heard, whether their vote was the first to be counted or the last,” Casey said. The Associated Press called the race for McCormick on Nov. 7, concluding that not enough ballots remained to be counted in areas Casey was winning for him to take the lead. As of Thursday, McCormick led by about 16,000 votes out of almost 7 million ballots counted. That was well within the 0.5% margin threshold to trigger an automatic statewide recount under Pennsylvania law. But no election official expected a recount to change more than a couple hundred votes or so, and Pennsylvania’s highest court dealt him a blow when it refused entreaties to allow counties to count mail-in ballots that lacked a correct handwritten date on the return envelope. Republicans will have a 53-47 majority next year in the U.S. Senate. Follow Marc Levy at twitter.com/timelywriter

In many cases, the consequences for engaging in such misconduct may not adequately reflect the seriousness of the behavior. By clearly delineating the types of conduct that constitute sexual harassment, organizations and authorities can establish appropriate penalties that serve as a deterrent to potential offenders. This includes not only disciplinary actions within the organization but also legal consequences that hold perpetrators accountable for their actions. By increasing the severity of punishments for sexual harassment, we can create a stronger deterrent to prevent such behavior in the future.

Despite these challenges, there is still hope for Syria's future. The international community must come together to support the Syrian people and help rebuild the country from the ground up. This will require a comprehensive approach that addresses the humanitarian, economic, and political aspects of the crisis. Aid organizations must be given the resources they need to provide assistance to those in need, while efforts must be made to jumpstart the economy and create jobs for the Syrian people.
