PITTSBURGH – Due to a federal judge’s ruling on Tuesday, the state senator for Pennsylvania’s 45th District comprising parts of both Allegheny and Westmoreland counties will in fact be Democratic incumbent Jim Brewster.
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania Judge J. Nicholas Ranjan
denied an attempt from the campaign of Republican state Senate challenger Nicole Ziccarelli to throw out mail-in ballots submitted in Allegheny County without a listed date, finding the 311 ballots in question were valid and properly counted toward Brewster’s victory.
The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania had first ruled Nov. 21 in its majority decision that the undated mail-in ballots that Ziccarelli challenged should be counted in the final vote totals, in her race against Brewster.
Fed. Judge Rejects GOP Challenge To Pa. Senator s Election By By
James Boyle Law360 (January 12, 2021, 2:58 PM EST) A Democratic Pennsylvania state senator blocked from his swearing-in ceremony last week by the Republican majority was lawfully reelected in the November election, a federal judge ruled Tuesday.
Federal District Judge Nicholas Ranjan in Pennsylvania s Western District sided with the Allegheny County Board of Elections that the county s undated mail-in ballots are valid and should be counted. The decision upholds an opinion from the state Supreme Court and keeps intact Sen. Jim Brewster s slim victory over challenger Nicole Ziccarelli in the 45th Senate District. Senate Pro Tem Jake Corman tweeted Tuesday afternoon that Brewster would be sworn-in Wednesday at 11 a.m.
Pa. GOP Cite Lawsuit To Block State Senator s Swearing-In By By
Matthew Santoni Law360 (January 5, 2021, 6:22 PM EST) Republicans in Pennsylvania s state Senate temporarily evicted the lieutenant governor and refused to seat a Democrat from a suburban Pittsburgh district during the Legislature s first session of the year Tuesday because his opponent was still pursuing a federal lawsuit challenging his 69-vote win.
After a party-line vote in the Republican-majority Senate removed Democratic Lt. Gov. John Fetterman from presiding over Tuesday s swearing-in ceremonies, Senate President Pro Tem Jake Corman ordered that incumbent state Sen. Jim Brewster be excluded from the reading of official votes and the swearing-in because his opponent, Nicole Ziccarelli, had a pending federal lawsuit challenging state court rulings that allowed the counting of ballots whose outer envelopes lacked handwritten dates or addresses.
