Jill Stein Challenges Constitutionality Of Pennsylvania Recount
The Daily Caller ^ | Feb. 16, 2017

Posted on 02/17/2017 7:08:46 AM PST by deplorableindc

Former Green party presidential nominee Dr. Jill Stein has asked a federal judge in Pennsylvania to rule that the state’s recount procedure is unconstitutional.

The complaint was lodged in connection with litigation staged after President Donald Trump’s victory in the November general election. Stein’s campaign raised over $7 million in order to finance recounts in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. Lawyers representing former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton briefly participated in the effort, which did not uncover evidence of abnormalities.

In an amended complaint filed this week, Stein argues Pennsylvania’s recount procedure violates the Fourteenth Amendment’s due process guarantee, because it contains no mechanism for individual voters to review a record of their ballot after casting their vote on an electronic interface.

Same is true of Maryland. Why isn’t she suing there as well?

She’s made it into butterfly net territory now.

I see Stein is going back to the well again. The dollars she accumulated from her last effort must have all dried up.

She is a liberal hack. Trying to steal the spot light from President Trump’s success.

I think these idiots keep blanking out and waking up in November 2016, not remembering anything that happened in the meantime.

What that definition of insanity again?

She’s a paid hack for the clintoons. For some reason they have decided to spend some of their dwindling foundation funds on this whore.

On that basis, 50 years of mechanical lever based voting was also unconstitutional.

She’s out of money.

Needs more.

Why doesn’t she go back to Michigan? She found real vote fraud there.

If Trump wants to go after vote fraud, he should start with California and Michigan. And, frankly, Philadelphia too, for that matter.

We should make this an issue. The only way you weed this out is to focus on it and demand picture ID both at registration and at the polls. Politically, this is the time to demand it and have it in place for the mid-term elections.

Look, Jill, he doesn’t love you. He never loved you. Being a pain in the a** isn’t going to change anything.

Move on already. Go take a pottery class. Or macrame...

She’s a loon, and she’ll get booted out of court, but I hope the judge at least looks at this point.

Maybe her lawyers have boat or vacation payments that need to be paid.

Stein’s campaign raised over $7 million

Of course, she's only doing this to keep the fundraising juggernaut going. In a normal year, she'd be yesterday's news for most of the Leftist lunatics at this point. But given how completely unhinged they are by Trump, I wonder if Stein can milk some more $$$$ out of the suckers with this BS challenge.

As much as I loathe her, that argument is not totally nuts.
A paper trail is needed IMO.

Is she asking for cash only to be mailed to a Post Office box?

A dead give a way.

I thought that she has a warrant out for for destroying private property or deeds to that effect.

It’s ground hog day for Stein over and over again. Too bad for her, she just reconfirmed her irrelevance. Expect her and probably the commie back for 2020.
