On election night I watched FBC; Kennedy & The Boyz. It was the best coverage, and looking at the recount nonsense is much more in context, and exposed for how silly it is.

they know it is extremely unlikely any of this comes to anything.

they are trying to get legal precedents, rulings, for future elections. they are trying to get things delayed by frivolous lawsuits.

I certainly hope that when the dust settles, there is a money and email trail back to Hillary and Soros and they both end up in jail and disgraced over all of this.

If Hillary and Democrats want politics to become a “blood sport” then I hope it is their blood that gets spilled during the process. I am not threatening them with physical harm, just saying that if they want all out partisan politics, they should expect no quarter in return.

It is well worth reading the filings by the Stein team in Pennsylvania. The professor whose affidavit they rely on has nothing but a lot of vague, and unsupported accusations. In fact, the documents he includes as exhibits don't even support his speculation.

Here is the petition, which apparently also is seeking relief that isn't available in Pennsylvania - at least according to the Democratic Secretary of State.

Prof. Halderman states that:

"The 2016 presidential election was subject to unprecedented cyberattacks apparently intended to interfere with the election"

"The Department of Homeland Security has stated that senior officials in the Russian government commissioned these attacks"

"One explanation for the results of the 2016 presidential election is that cyberattacks influenced the result. This explanation is plausible, in light of other known cyberattacks intended to affect the outcome of the election..."

What the US government actually said is different from what Halderman implies in his affidavit:

"The USIC and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) assess that it would be extremely difficult for someone, including a nation-state actor, to alter actual ballot counts or election results by cyber attack or intrusion"

Exhibit E from the petition, a Joint Statement from the Department of Homeland Security and Office of the Director of National Intelligence on Election Security, says the opposite of what Halderman implies it says.

His affidavit is flimsy, and the petition seems weaker.

Is this a real ‘recount’ or a ‘re-tabulation’? I’m confused.

[Svartalfiar]

Schmidt noted the county Board of Elections is required to audit 2 percent of voting machines following the election anyway, according to the Pennsylvania elections code. That means after each election is wrapped up, officials randomly audit voting machines to ensure the number of votes cast matches the number of electronic results in the central tabulation system.

What?!? Only TWO PERCENT of their machines are required to check if their totals even match the totals they're supposed to have? That should be an easy obvious thing on 100% of them!

I believe she did not ask for a recount but to declare the PA elections illegal? So she would not need all these recount efforts.
