Actually I suspect she used little of that $6 or 7 million. She now has lots of money for future mischief.

I believe all the counties have finished. A few have not certified. Allegheny county is one of the last. They are done counting but won’t certify until Monday. However, Allegheny, where Pittsburgh is, is not as large or as lopsided as the big counties around Philly.

Some of the confusion is the fault of Republicans. Recall that in 2000 Bush's legal team, Led by future AG Edwin Meese made an argument in federal court that Florida's EV's had to be counted.

At that point, it was a Hail Mary: they had been handed a stinging defeat by the crooks in the Florida Supreme Court, which had ruled against the their own legislature, claiming that an ambiguity in the Florida Constitution would not permit any outcome other than either the recount requested by Gore, or NO appointment of electors at all.

Meese, et al, were pounding the table, not pounding the law. Unlike the present case (where Trump can win even if WI, MI and PA are not even counted) without Florida's votes, Bush could not win.

At that point they did not realize that the Supreme Court would rule unanimously that the authority of state legislatures to pick electors was a plenary power that could not be abrogated by any court, or even by Florida's own Constitution. In that decision, the Supreme Court clarified that nothing can stop a state legislature from picking its electors.

Even as recently as a week ago, Judge Jeanine and one of her guests cited Meese's brief to the Supreme Court as evidence that the "grand strategy" was to deprive Trump of 270 electoral votes. No, and no. NO, 270 is not the number. The number is a majority of electors appointed; and NO, no one can stop a state from appointing its electors. Jeanine is a judge and former DA and should have known better.

Meese probably did, but was trying to make the best of what he thought was a desperate situation.

She ran into a major problem: Hillary conceded on election night. This was all a smokescreen to keep the protesters going. As soon as it got anywhere near a point of a judge ruling on it, they were done, game, set, and match.

On Monday, I will escalate #Recount2016 in PA and file to demand a statewide recount on constitutional grounds. The people deserve answers.

Good night Gracie; they can’t flip enough electors even if they somehow stretch the recounts out to supposedly deny the electors (which actually can’t happen, what can happen is two completing slates where congress is bound by the one vouched for by the governor...)
