Green Party candidate to hold rally outside Trump Tower amid recounts
Iranian Press TV ^ | December 3, 2016

Posted on 12/03/2016 3:49:18 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Green Party candidate Jill Stein is set to hold a rally along with her supporters in front of the Trump Tower in New York on Monday.

Stein, who has initiated the process of vote recounts in the states of Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania following the 2016 presidential election, made the announcement on Saturday.

GOP nominee Donald Trump won presidency on November 8 by flipping the three traditionally blue states, triggering calls for a recount pursued not by Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton but by Stein.

Trump has vowed to block the efforts by having his lawyer file lawsuits against the move.

“We won’t stand down as Donald Trump and his allies seek to frivolously obstruct the legal processes set up to ensure we have a voting system we can trust and that all votes have been counted,” Stein said in a statement.

On her website, Stein is asking Americans for donations to pay for the cost of recount in the states.

In a complaint filed in Pennsylvania, Trump’s lawyers said "There is no evidence — or even an allegation — that any tampering with Pennsylvania's voting systems actually occurred," adding, "Despite being no more than a blip on the electoral radar, Stein has now commandeered Pennsylvania's electoral process, with an eye toward doing the same to the Electoral College."

In the run-up to the 2016 vote, Trump kept insisting that the US election is “rigged,” particularly censuring the Electoral College system, which finally gave him the victory.

Despite being one of the most unpopular Democrats to run for president, Hillary Clinton managed to garner over two million votes more than his opponent across the country.

This doesn’t even make sense after withdrawing her challenge in PA.

She’s withdrawn the statewide challenge but is still pursuing a county by county challenge.

Here’s the link:

http://www.philly.com/philly/news/politics/presidential/20161204_Jill_Stein_campaign_drops_recount_effort_in_Pa_.html

Appropriate quotes:

From the first paragraph: “Former Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein discontinued her statewide recount effort in Pennsylvania Saturday afternoon after a Commonwealth Court judge mandated the campaign post a $1 million bond to press on with its challenge.” (note ‘statewide recount’)

The last two paragraphs:

“Meanwhile, Stein’s campaign intends to continue its county-by-county recount effort in Pennsylvania, said attorney Larry Otter. That requires efforts in individual precincts - a process that requires three voters to petition their local election boards.”

“Recounts are currently underway in Bucks, Montgomery and Delaware counties, Otter said.”

Sounds like it’s more of a news conference than a rally.

“According to her statement, she plans to hold a news conference about the recount effort Monday morning outside Trump Tower in New York City.”

TRUMP needs to tell JILL STEIN to get her butt to N. DAKOTA and pay her debt to society.

WARRANT OUT FOR GREEN PARTY CANDIDATE JILL STEIN
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/warrant-out-for-green-party-candidate-jill-steins-arrest-in-north-dakota/

Stein was charged Wednesday in Morton County with misdemeanor counts of criminal trespass and criminal mischief.

A spokeswoman for Stein said Tuesday that activists invited her to leave a message at the protest site, and Stein sprayed “I approve this message” in red paint on the blade of a bulldozer.

Stein herself tweeted a photo of the spray-painting incident Wednesday afternoon: The tweet read “The Dakota Access Pipeline is vandalism on steroids.

Doesn’t she need a permit?

Only if she has more than 10 people with her, so no permit will be necessary.

"This doesn’t even make sense after withdrawing her challenge in PA."

She's making the most of the donated money while she can. Take a little vacay in the Big Apple, and include a rally at Trump Tower so the donors think they're getting something for their money.
