Riled Up MAGA Faithful From Across Pennsylvania Crash Bucks County Commissioners Meeting
Trump supporters, not just from Bucks County but from across Pennsylvania, filled the meeting room and overfill rooms at Wednesday morning’s Bucks County Commissioners meeting to express their anger that Commissioner Diane Ellis-Marseglia, in a now viral moment, voted for the county to count defective mail ballots, even if it meant breaking the law.
“Precedent by a Supreme Court doesn’t matter anymore in this country, and people violate laws any time they want,” she said. “So, for me, if I violate this law, it’s because I want a court to pay attention to it. There is nothing more important than counting votes, and I will take it all the way.”
She apologized for it, and previously stated that her comments have been misinterpreted. The ballots in question were part of the recount in the U.S. Senate race between incumbent Bob Casey and Republican nominee Dave McCormick, with McCormick leading by a little over 17,000 votes, according to the AP.
“I wanted to start by apologizing for the upset and the confusion that I have caused the citizens of Bucks County and the hard working employees of this county and my family and those who share my last name,” Marseglia said.

As far as 'misinterpretation' - I guess there's always somebody capable of parsing a sentence in a different way ...
But if you're a public official out there publicly declaring you will NOT follow the directive of the court ...
That kind of puts you in the soup. At least as I see it.
