The controversy surrounding the election in Bucks County, Pennsylvania isn’t over yet, but the vote counting is — and the official results are in.
Although it wasn’t “too big to rig”, President Trump has officially won the pivotal PA county that has remained blue for the past 36 years.
The Bucks County GOP has verified the final count.
It’s official! The final numbers are in. Donald Trump has won #BucksCounty!
This is the first time since 1988 that Bucks County has voted for a Republican for President!

The final tally was incredibly close with less than 300 votes, a mere 0.07%, separating the presidential winner and loser of Bucks County.
If nothing else, the enormous impact voter registration can have on the final outcome of a national election is crystal clear in these results.
But the fact is, there is a deeper lesson here. In a nutshell, common sense can win out against illogical insanity. And in Bucks County, throughout the entire swing state of Pennsylvania, and indeed across the country… that lesson has democrats terrified.
Because they are coming to the realization that this isn’t just a one-time win. This wasn’t just a referendum to set the record straight for President Trump’s “loss” in 2020.
This was a referendum on what has become the primary characteristic of the modern day democratic party: insanity.
Democrats are realizing that the shift towards conservative principles, away from untenable democratic talking points, is likely to happen even more so during the next election cycle.

But as I said, the fear among the Democratic Party isn’t just that President Trump managed to flip so many blue areas red in a single election.
The fear is that this is a true shift towards the Republican Party under President Trump’s leadership that is going to continue to be felt in election years to come; and that has them absolutely terrified.
That fear has had Democrat election officials openly calling for violating the law, even violating their own state Supreme Court ruling, in order to prevent the reality of the “red shift” that is happening in places like Bucks County, PA — as Fox News details further in this report.
The hullabaloo was caused when one of the commissioners, Diane Ellis-Marseglia, announced the week before that state Supreme Court rulings don’t actually matter, and she was going to count illegal ballots in the Keystone State’s U.S. Senate race, anyway.
On Wednesday, she sort of apologized to the frothing crowd demanding her resignation, then on Thursday Democratic Sen. Bob Casey conceded his loss to challenger Dave McCormick. For all intents and purposes the controversy was over, but why had it happened in the first place?
“This is all about 2026,” Nick told me outside the government offices.
ADVERTISEMENTIn his late 20s or early 30s, Nick is one of those Gen Z conservative men you keep hearing so much about, hair slicked back, sunglasses just so. “Casey isn’t gonna be the senator, but they want these ballots to count next time,” he said.
This all speaks to a warranted fear among Democrats that Pennsylvania, long the swingingest of the swing states, could be moving, like Ohio and Florida before it, solidly into the Republican column.
For four years we heard little else about Trump other than his election denialism, and we were told it was a grave and grievous threat to the country. Yet here was an elected Democratic official promising to break the law and count illegal ballots, just to put one of her own in office.
That is really why Casey tilted at the impossible windmill of a recount. It’s not about him, it’s not about now, it’s about next time. It’s about maintaining that wiggle room in ballot counting that so often nudges Democrats across the finish line.
Check out the heat that Scott Presler brought to the contentious election commissioner’s meeting yesterday.
This was in regards to the plot put forth (openly!) by one election commissioner to disregard the law and continue counting ineligible votes — in order to prevent Casey’s senate seat from going to Republican McCormick.
How ironic that the party that spent the last 4 years trying to label President Trump as an insurrectionist with no regard for the law… is now openly calling for exactly that; a completely lawless approach to choosing our elected officials.
We can now report that Donald Trump is the first Republican President since 1988

On one hand, I am looking forward to justice being met out to those who have dared to trample on the election integrity of our nation.
On the other hand, I am simply thankful that we are seemingly the recipients of a great gift; a reprieve from the gas lighting of outlaw leftists run amok.
But more importantly, what is a source of fear to democrats is a reason for joy among those of us who espouse conservative principles. Do I expect the entire country to wake up, and suddenly see the light of day in terms of reality… their worldview… and have (quite literally) one of those “come to Jesus” moments?
No. Oh — how I wish it would happen. But for all my eternal optimism, I’m far too much of a realist to believe that is going to happen.
But what does seem to be happening is a crack in the façade of the illogical alternative reality that the democratic party has used for years to weaponize the fear (WHICH THEY HAVE LARGELY CREATED!) in order to cling to power — to the detriment of the country they have sworn to protect.
The democratic party has seen those same cracks; they have watched them grow wider. And yes… they are terrified, and for good reason.
A web of deceit is a hard thing to maintain in the face of common sense. And by all accounts that is exactly what we are seeing; a resurgence in common sense, and a corresponding buffer against the ability to manipulate the American people to the degree we have seen — praise God.
