Here is my rudimentary understanding of PA election laws. She did miss the state deadline; however, there were 5-6 counties that reported later than others. (Mostly heavily D counties like Montgomery.) She was able to file in those individual counties for a recount because of their late reporting. However, to get a statewide “recount”, she actually has to contest the election because she did miss the state deadline of Nov. 21 to request the statewide recount. So, the Dec. 5 court date will be for her to present her case to contest the election. People in “the know” in PA think this will get smacked down Monday because she has no evidence to support contesting.
Good summary of PA election laws.
The headline here is that Stein made an amazingly stupid move by missing the Nov. 21 deadline.
That shows stunning incompetence.
