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.
