Oops! Jill Stein Cannot File Direct Request for Recount in Pennsylvania, Must Take It to Court
Gateway Pundit ^ | 11/26/2016 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 11/27/2016 8:15:02 AM PST by GilGil

Per Pennsylvania regulations, there is only one way remaining for Jill Stein to get a recount in Pennsylvania and it is a complicated process. BillyPenn reports that Stein would have to file for a court appeal and present a “prima facie case” showing that voter fraud took place. While prima facie has a lower burden of proof threshold than “beyond reasonable doubt,” it is still significant. Stein would have to prove in court that fraud was “probable.” This is going to be very difficult given that even the computer specialists recommending the recount say there is no proof of hacking or fraud...

Stein has to prove that fraud took place:

In addition to submitting the petition, Stein must demonstrate that "a mistake or fraud has been committed. She has not yet done so.

I can remember an article that appeared here on Friday, I believe. It interviewed an election lawyer in Philadelphia who was a Democrat and he basically said if there was anything improper that took place on the day of the vote and that it really and clearly denied a fair election (maybe that is a relative term to be used here, lol), everyone would have definitely heard about it very early on.

“The only upside to this recount meme is that Stein walks away with $5-10 million and fleeces Hillary-bot suckers and whatever other suckers. This is a tempest in a teapot. “

Once this is over and done with, I would ask DOJ to investigate the campaign donations and see who broke the law. Then prosecute them to the fullest extent. I would think since Stein, a candidate who has no chance of winning by recount is doing this, the donations should be considered campaign contributions and have a 2k limit. Any individual contributing more is subject to criminal prosecution.

No more playing around. Dismantle the entire leftwing by using their tactics against them.

The democrats are such geniuses that Hillary lost and the Republicans have won a huge victory nationwide.

Then why is Al Frankin a senator when he should be advertising diapers?

How about Gregoire in the state of Washington?

They have stolen more elections from us than we can count. I see another try at theft coming.

“He” doesn’t need to. Just tell Attorney General Jeff Sessions to use his independent discretion to enforce the law. Simple as that and who can disagree with enforcing the law without looking like an utter feces extraction portal?

Does not matter. Trump is the president-elect. No chance that changes.

I agree....with all my heart. Nail'm

Let the penalty be: Confiscate the Clinton Foundation money and give it to countries that need it and/or....build a wall.

Leave them penniless.

Remember, the Clinton Foundation filed 5 years of revised returns. I think we need more info on that and also see if we can find a Podesta or Chelsea warning about the returns.

This is the opening of the “Thousand Cuts’ strategy that the Democrats alway employ against their Republican opponents. Another thread supposes that the game is to get recounts in Wisconsin, Michigan & PA to prevent those states from casting their electoral votes in December. Nobody gets 270, so the House — voting by states — selects the President, the Senate does the same for VP. Then the Democrat-Media-Complex get to crow about Trump being ‘selected’ for President by his fellow Republicans. They’ll bring it up at least once in every newscast, each day, for 4 years.
Of course the Pennsylvania judge can scuttle this strategy. Or the state legislatures in question can direct their slate of electors to vote Trump regardless the recounts.
But it’s all about nicking Trump’s political legitimacy in the minds of the Low-Information-Voters.

Well put and 100% true.

Trump won and no recount will ever change that fact. He is the 45th president.

Algore conceded, too. Which only proves that Demoncrats are not trustworthy. If you have one as an employee, fire him or her at once. They are very likely to steal from you.

I don’t dispute what you’ve posted here, but I challenge you to provide us with a single case where an election was “stolen” after the initial count had margins numbering in the tens of thousands of votes.

“Trump should go live on TV and say he will now have his DOJ appoint Prosecutor to Hillary Emails and Clinton Foundation.”

I am 100% in support of prosecuting Hillary. I suspect Hillary supporting this “recount” is partially her ploy to keep Trump from doing just that...she may figure for him to do so it would paint Trump as getting revenge. Hey, she deserve revenge!

Democrats are anything but “geniuses”. They are sneaky, subversive, shameless and persistent but they are NOT very smart. the problem to date has been the unwillingness of the Republicans to stand up and FIGHT these bastards!

The soner people realize that these are people who would kill the men, rape our women and sell our children into slavery, the better off we are. No more “my good friends across the aisle”. No more “we take the high road”.

This is war. Either we win or they will. There are no other options.

I don’t have an example.

But I can tell you that the most sure-fire way to lose a battle is to underestimate your enemy. Ask Hillary. She did it once and I don’t think she will repeat that mistake.
