PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Donald Trump won Pennsylvania by just 71,000 votes out of 5.8 million votes cast.
But his one percent victory over Hillary Clinton was enough to avoid the state’s automatic recount triggered when a vote margin is less than one-half percent.
"I’m looking to get an accurate count on the vote,” Weslee Hursh of Centerville Borough told KDKA political editor Jon Delano on Monday.
Hursh filed a petition at the Washington County Elections Bureau to recount the ballots in her precinct even though she’s not alleging any fraud by the Trump campaign.
“That’s not the purpose of this,” says Hursh. “The purpose of this is to make sure that the election was true.”
Via social media, Green Party nominee Dr. Jill Stein urged Pennsylvania voters to file recount petitions.
“Pennsylvania is the only state in which the recount process has to be initiated by actually thousands of voters,” Stein says in her video.
Filing a petition to challenge an election result, to get a recount, in the whole state of Pennsylvania is almost next to impossible.
As citizens in western Pennsylvania are quickly discovering, it’s a very, very complicated process.
“You realize that this has to have three electors, and I only see two,” Washington County assistant elections director Wesley Parry told Hursh on Monday. . .

lol
If they can’t flip PA, its over.
Even if Hillary somehow won WI and MI, without PA, she has no path to the White House.
And 71,000 votes is a very huge margin to surmount.
All of this is just theater.
“by just 71,000 votes” If Hildabeast had won this state, the word “just” would never be seen. It is about words, manipulation, and sheer control. Never let the truth get in the way of the agenda, never......
I don’t think she wants to lose all that ‘hard earned money’ on a recount. If I am right, she’ll just ask for petitions and say oops deadline, thanks for trying!
Good to know - PA recount is next to impossible to attain. When will this rubbish be over though? What is the deadline for these recount petitions?
Ok - I hadn’t read the linked article.
It says this: “And the deadline has passed in many counties.”.....so it’s too late even if they could get the people they need to file petitions and pay the fees....for many counties.
That’s good to read.
Please, God, let this idiocy end!
Trump won’t have to prosecute her. Let the House investigate the Clinton Foundation and force them to be decertified to exist. That takes away their money-pit and forces them out into the open.
If the state doesn’t send members to the EC to vote....everyone who voted needs to band together and sue the state and Stein. I wouldn’t be satisfied until they both offered up $2,000 for my disenfranchised vote.
They’re on a hunting safari, and plan to drag a few three-week-old carcasses out of the tall grass and nail them over Hillary’s fireplace.

THERE WILL BE NO RECOUNT IN PENNSYLVANIA: Jill Stein Perpetrating Election Fraud.

I still won't start celebrating a Trump win until when the 13th when they certify the election?
I figure there was 3% democrat voter fraud Trump overcame in PA especially in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. Then Trump overcame Garry johnson’s 2% .So Trump really won PA by 6% at least
J. Alex Halderman, in his argument for a recount, cites exit polls versus pre-election polls derived from Edison Research. Yet on Edison’s own website they present a scientific explanation for discrepancies.

This was an attempt to create a ‘cloud’ over Trump’s presidency.
Backfire!
Now Trump can call for a national audit of state databases of voters and issue Federal warrants for the illegals who voted.
Guess what? He’s deporting the criminals, too. So these folks can GTFO.
I hear that word “backfire” used a lot when the left does something to hurt our side, but I rarely see it happen. Rush uses that word a lot. I hope that you’re right in this case.
Trump said the 3 million illegal votes. So now he can call a Congressional commission to investigate and go through, say, California. See who voted vs. who is actually a citizen.
THAT is 4D chess!
This ridiculous recount shit is over anyway. Even before it gets started. If the stupid democrats keep pushing this then their asinine party just might be over as well.
Celebrate on the 19th when the electors vote.
