The Green Party-backed push for a recount of Pennsylvania's presidential election results will get its day in federal court.
U.S. District Judge Paul S. Diamond on Tuesday ordered a Friday hearing to consider the party's request for a forensic examination of voting machines used across the state and a statewide recount of paper ballots.
The proceeding will take place just five days before the Dec. 13 federal deadline for the state to certify its votes, raising questions over whether that would leave enough time for a thorough examination should the judge allow the recount to proceed.
Former Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein has spearheaded the recount effort in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin - Rust Belt states that provided crucial and narrow victories to President-elect Donald Trump on his march to the White House.

December 9th is five days before December 13th?
Stein wants a recount from here to eternity.
Diamond should tell her to STFU and go home.
Inquirer math.
Judge should just rule that feds have no jurisdiction per the constitution.
These people really do want another Florida 2000 fiasco, don’t they? They must not realize how very, very little patience the rest of us have with doing that s*** again...
Using the inclusive method of reckoning: 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 being five days, fractions counted as a full day.
Jill Stein lacks standing as she is not properly aggrieved, nor has she exhausted all appropriate avenues of redress at the state level.
There is no provision in PA law for a forensic exam. And to get a recount you have to make a prima facie case that something actually happened - and Jill Stein has publicly admitted they have no such evidence. Which IMO is the reason she dropped the PA state-level suit, and is pursuing this approach at the federal level.
Aggrieved is not part of the PA legal language, that is MI. She is basically asking the federal court to re-write PA law by requiring a forensic exam which is nowhere to be found in PA election law. This is DOA.
By him saying today, that he will hear a case, that is extremely time sensitive, in three days tells us how he’s gonna rule.
Pennsylvania is locked down.
If he’s the judge hearing the case on Friday, he’s a Bush appointee.
Jills so-called experts....
At least the judge is a Bush appointee, not a Clinton crony,
Hillary’s email server guy
haha
what joke that group is
Alternatively just one full business day
Does this bitch Stein think she can actually win for Hillary or is she just filling her bank account?
And does she have any idea of the consequences if she pulls off this coup for Hillary?!
“And who would do the forensic computer examination... Hillary’s computer guys?”
Very funny, except it could be true.
