"No refunds!"
I’m a lawyer. This is a joke....and will go nowhere.
Just send her away and tell her to come back when she has standing and has exhausted all options at the state level. Done!
The procedures were in place long before the election. Why didn’t Jill or any of the others take this up before the election? It wasn’t like it was kept secret. So let’s change the rules if you don’t like the results? Hummm....
Did they really just insult the entire state?
Fool, thy name is Democrat!
They have to have something to continue begging for dollars for Jill. This sounds so important and serious that only money can help her.
How can someone be a sore loser when they never had a chance to win?

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA JILL STEIN and RANDALL REITZ, Plaintiffs, v. PEDRO A. CORTÉS, in his official capacity as Secretary of the Commonwealth; and JONATHAN MARKS, in his official capacity as Commissioner of the Bureau of Commissions, Elections, and Legislation, Defendants. No.
COMPLAINT FOR DECLARATORY AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF
NOW COME Plaintiffs Jill Stein and Randall Reitz (collectively “Plaintiffs”), by and through their attorneys, Montgomery McCracken Walker & Rhoads LLP, Emery Celli Brinckerhoff & Abady LLP, and Lawrence Otter, Esq., and for their Complaint for declaratory and injunctive relief against Pedro A. Cortés, in his official capacity as Secretary of the Commonwealth; and Jonathan M. Marks, in his official capacity as Commissioner of the Bureau of Commissions, Elections, and Legislation, hereby allege as follows.
INTRODUCTION
1.
The Pennsylvania election system is a national disgrace. Voters are forced to use vulnerable, hackable, antiquated technology banned in other states, then rely on the kindness of machines. There is no paper trail. Voting machines are electoral black sites: no one permits voters or candidates to examine them.

2.
After election day, voters are equally helpless to make sure their votes are counted. The Election Code requires 27,474 voters in 9,158 districts to bring notarized petitions to county boards, in time for shifting, divergent, and secret deadlines known to no one except, perhaps, 67 separate county election boards. In court recounts, voters must pay exorbitant fees, and (according to boards of elections) should only one voter fail to sign a single petition in a single district anywhere in the State, no one can seek a recount anywhere. 3.
This labyrinthine, incomprehensible, and impossibly burdensome election regime might make Kafka proud. But for ordinary voters, it is a disaster. 4.
###### In the 2016 presidential election, rife with foreign interference documented by American intelligence agencies ###### and hacks of voter rolls in multiple states, voters deserve the truth. Were Pennsylvania votes counted accurately? That truth is not difficult to learn: simply count the paper ballots in optical scan districts, and permit forensic examination of the electronic voting systems in DRE districts. This can be done in days, by top experts, if necessary at the Stein campaign’s expense, under the supervision of election officials, and without endangering a single vote. 5.

People are homeless, kids don’t have health insurance, people are hungry and she want state of Art voting machine.
"No refunds!"
methinks she is aiming for a lake house like Sanders...
It starts off like an internet rant and is off the rails by #17 as she/they start listing their what-ifs as “Factual Allegations”.
I’m making a note to myself to start looking for the next generation of crying-Democrat videos by Wednesday afternoon.
Trump should immediately ask for a recount in CA, maybe a few other states, to make sure Hillary got a fair count.
The irony of ironies about this whole “recount” fiasco is that Hillary Clinton lost in all three states by almost the exact vote count that Jill Stein received in each. Talk about Karma coming back to bite you!
And of course, the factual basis of her allegations is stunningly weak. The supposedly "easy" firmware hacking would probably require undetected physical access to thousands of voting machines stored in a locked warehouse.
That was a fun read. Her lawyers argue that the majority of the votes in PA (those cast on DRE/touchscreen systems) are subject to tampering, espionage, and error, have no paper trail to audit or crosscheck the results, and are just plain worthless. Then they demand a recount of the machines they just wrote were unreliable and unaccountable. How will a recount of unreliable data produce a reliable result? D’oh...
Their angst over having to get a whopping three supporters per district to petition for a recount is also a major hoot. Stein probably didn’t get three votes in some districts. Couldn’t she get a few Hillary voters on board? She has no organization whatsoever.
A liberal lawyer I know on Facebook said if he were the judge, he would direct the marshalls to toss the plantiffs out the door onto the sidewalk and award fees to the defendants without them asking, and start legal sanctions for misuse of the legal system. It’s that bad of a brief.
