Outside of the mandatory recount triggered by a threshold of 0.5% here are the rules in PA:

The PA Constitution says that voters can petition individual county election boards for recounts. Candidates themselves have no standing in that process. Stein can not use that avenue.

All other petitions for recounts, including those from candidates, must go through the courts. The last day for a court decision is 20 days after the election. That is Monday. Stein will not be able to simply ask the Secretary of State for a recount.

She filed in WI because it's the easiest state of the three that the Clinton Global Crime Family wants to cherry pick. To get a recount, in WI, only the cost is involved. In Michigan (and usually PA) you will only get a recount if you have evidence of fraud, although she might well get a liberal court to grant her request. The current PA Supreme Court is 5-2, favoring Democrats.

Thanks but that article doesn’t go into detail about deadlines. Sounds to me like a favorable judge could act, Minday, on an emergency recall petition.

They will not get the votes in Wisconsin. No recount has EVER flipped a 27,000 vote lead.
Michigan is tighter, with a 10,000 vote difference, again though no recount has ever overcome a lead so large.
They’re out of their mind going after Pennsylvania. It’s a nearly 70,000 vote lead there.
This is being done for several reasons.
Stein has bills due but no reputation to sully. She needs the money.
Soros has plenty of money but needs a different way to hit Trump.
Hillary is sitting back smirking saying “It’s not me.”
They’re trying to fluster us.
Nothing will change. Trump is the next president of the United States.
