3:05pm- Last week, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that election officials cannot count mail-in ballots that are incorrectly dated. On Monday night, John Fetterman’s campaign filed a legal challenge arguing that mail-in ballots should be counted regardless of proper dating—claiming that rejecting ballots is a violation of the First and Fourteenth Amendments. The Philadelphia Inquirer estimates that “tens of thousands” Pennsylvania ballots may be improperly dated. 

3:30pm- On CNN, host Don Lemon and political commentator Michael Smerconish explained that they sometimes forget what day it is—arguing that mail-in ballots without a date should be counted in Pennsylvania. 

3:40pm- Tom Szymanski—New Jersey Republican State Committee Executive Director—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Election Day in the Garden State. In Mercer County, NJ, scanning machines aren’t working properly—will this impact how long it takes to get final vote tabulations?

4:05pm- According to FiveThirtyEight forecasting simulations, Republicans have a 59% chance of taking control of the U.S. Senate—with Dr. Mehmet Oz (57%), Hershel Walker (63%), and J.D. Vance (87%) all projected to win their races. But will Hershel Walker’s Georgia race against incumbent Senator Raphael Warnock head to a runoff election?

4:25pm- According to Gallup polling, 73% of Republicans believe the COVID-19 pandemic is over—while only 21% of Democrats share that belief. 

4:35pm- Jason Snead—Executive Director of the Honest Elections Project—joins the show to discuss his latest editorial on Daily Caller, “Pennsylvania is On the Verge of a Midterm Meltdown.” Snead writes of Pennsylvania elections, “antiquated procedures and weak safeguards continue to leave Pennsylvania’s election process vulnerable to delays, confusion, mischief and ponderous litigation that could drag the results out for weeks — or longer.” How long should Pennsylvanians expect to wait before they have a definitive outcome for the U.S. Senate race between Dr. Mehmet Oz and Lt. Gov. John Fetterman?

4:50pm- According to the Tax Foundation’s 2023 State Business Tax Climate Index, New Jersey is the worst state in the country for taxes.

3:40pm- Charles McElwee—Editor of Real Clear Pennsylvania—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest editorial, “Voter Sentiment in PA Suggests a Republican Year.” McElwee warns that due to presumed complications with mail-in ballots and a divided Pennsylvania Supreme Court, the U.S. Senate race between John Fetterman and Dr. Mehmet Oz could end with a series of lawsuits that are ultimately heard by the U.S. Supreme Court. 

4:05pm- The Washington Post’s Glenn Kessler awarded President Joe Biden a “bottomless Pinocchio” for not only making grossly misleading statements but repeating the falsehoods routinely. For example, Biden claimed he has spent “more time with Xi Jinping than any other head of state” and has traveled more than “17,000 miles with him.” Kessler points out that not only are these claims false, but he has repeated the claim 21 times! According to the WaPo, Biden has also lied about the price of gas, student debt forgiveness, and Social Security cost-of-living increases.

That’s the law.”
