Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) may have finally conceded his election loss to Republican challenger David McCormick, but far too much damage has already been done to voter faith in our country’s electoral process.

It is, of course, bad enough that the state of Pennsylvania was still counting votes more than two weeks after Election Day. It is, indeed, disgraceful and culpably incompetent. Other states, such as Florida, begin counting ballots weeks before Election Day and mandate that all must be in by Election Day. This makes it easy to report the result on election night just hours after the polls close.
