Governing: A Bucks County judge on Monday dismissed a legal challenge filed in a contested state Senate race that claimed Pennsylvania's deadline for excluding absentee ballots is unconstitutional.
State Rep. Tina Davis filed the lawsuit Nov. 19 after losing the race in the state's Sixth District to incumbent state Sen. Richard "Tommy" Tomlinson by just 74 votes.
