Stein missed Pennsylvania's deadline to file for a voter-initiated recount. That blown deadline is a huge blow for Democrats who have pinned their hopes on recounts in the Keystone State, Michigan and Wisconsin.
"According to Wanda Murren, spokeswoman for the Pennsylvania Department of State," the Philadelphia Inquirer reported Monday, "the deadline for a voter-initiated recount was Monday, Nov. 21."

(but I give you credit for beating me by 1 second!!!)
Oopsie. Better luck next time.
most, um, unfortunate...
It was close.
awwww
From the article:
“Allied with Clinton’s camp, Stein can still mount a legal challenge. While the chances of litigation are uncertain, the vote tally is clear. Trump beat Clinton in Pennsylvania, a feat not accomplished by a Republican since Ronald Reagan in 1988.”
Umm, I’m pretty sure that it was George H.W. Bush (and J. Danforth Quayle) who carried PA in 1988 .... I hope that the author was more diligent in checking the other facts in the article (such as that the deadline for voter-initiated recounts indeed has passed).
Ronald Reagan wasn't on the ballot in 1988.

She can still go to a court to order one.
Can’t imagine any persuasive argument for it though.
Any way you look at it, she will have to have a reason/proof for the recount to give to the court, and that ain’t gonna happen.
I believe that that deadline might have been why Stein was so unhappy that Clinton “joined” the recount effort. Clinton has better legal standing for requesting a recount. I think Stein wanted to collect the money, make a weak effort to get some recounts, then run with the money.
Missed it by *this* much. : )
But seriously, did newspapers just do away with editors altogether? The author messed up on such an easily verifiable fact (and one that any American over the age of 35 would know without having to look it up).
Deadlines are unfair! /s
Like I said before slimy, lowlife democrats never give up.

We’re filing affidavits in Allegheny County, PA! Voters can kickstart #Recount2016 today: http://jill2016.com/recountPA
A huge blow? It’s a fatal blow. Without PA, it is impossible for Crooked Hillary to overturn the election even in the 1 in a million chance she is able to turn WI and MI.
Thy got a mulligan on paying the fees, now they want a filing deadline extension?
I remember the first time I appreciated the humor in one of law students’ favorite expressions: “It’s just not fair.”
I laughed like a little girl.
Futile. Waste. Joke.
Until a judge rules otherwise.
