Philadelphia judge won’t let Jill Stein forensically examine voting machines

Jill Stein’s Pennsylvania recount attempt continues to sputter, with a Wednesday ruling from the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas denying her request to have the city’s electronic voting machines examined.

The request to forensically study the machines was considered by her lawyers to be one of the best ways to determine the validity of the votes, and they had previously said they thought they had a chance in court. The city’s Election Board had already refused to let Stein’s computer experts examine the machines.

Judge Abbe F. Fletman wrote in her decision that Stein basically missed her chance to examine the machines. Stein and any other candidate legally had the opportunity to monitor tests of the machines administered by the Election Board the before, during and after the election, she wrote, and could have even made independent tests during the election process provided the testing didn’t interfere with the tabulation of votes. She noted Stein and her associates did not make clear whether they took advantage of these opportunities, and wrote that state law doesn’t allow for more independent testing as requested by Stein.

“This is especially true when, as in this case, there is absolutely no evidence of any voting irregularities,” Fletman wrote. “To the contrary, the elected and appointed officials charged with safeguarding our voting system uniformly maintain its integrity.”

This court action was slightly different from the recount that already took place in Philadelphia. Over the weekend, the city recounted electronic votes and paper ballots from 75 of Philadelphia’s 1600-plus voting districts. Hillary Clinton ended up with five more votes from paper ballots that were not detected by an optical scanning system, and City Commissioner Al Schmidt said the recount turned up no evidence of possible hacking or fraud.

It’s to avoid embarrassment that this idiot will find out the machines are not connected to the internet so it’s not HACKED as she claims it to be.

I heard her say that the hackers could have used floppy disks.

FWIW, Judge Fletman is a lesbian Dem so that really tells you Stein is full ‘o crap.

At the rate these morons are going, it will be 500 years before any of these three states votes for a Democrat candidate.

Sorry for the double, but then again, maybe she lost that many marbles after all.

That will not stop Stein from claiming (I think next week if she keeps jumping all over the place to find arguments) that the Russian hackers traveled to the US and went on site hacked these hunderds/thousands of machines without anyone noticing. Of course that would also explain why in the WI recount nothing is found because they deephacked them (or make up some other term). So 5 new recounts will be needed of course! And the will cite some secret set of experts that said it was possible that could happen!

All you have to do is run 1000 pre counted test ballots through a machine sample size n and you’ll have your answer.

Maybe this judge realizes what a political whore this hag really is.

The last thing somebody on the payroll wants in Filthydelphia is for the voting machines to be forensically examined - it could potentially expose the whole voting fraud operation there - she's just keeping the lid on the whole thing.

Anyone else excited for December 19 (or whenever it is the electoral college votes), so that we can finally stop hearing about Jill Stein?
