UPDATE: Stein to make "major announcement" following challenge withdraw

HARRISBURG, Pa — (WHTM) Jill Stein’s attorney said the Green Party candidate will make a “major announcement” Monday morning outside of Trump Tower involving the election challenge in Pennsylvania.

UPDATE:

Jill Stein said she will make an announcement at 10 a.m. Monday regarding the election challenge in Pennsylvania following a filing Saturday evening that she could not post the $1 million bond needed.

Stein released this statement:

“This is yet another sign that Pennsylvania’s antiquated election law is stacked against voters. By demanding a $1 million bond from voters yesterday, the court made clear it has no interest in giving a fair hearing to these voters’ legitimate concerns over the accuracy, security and fairness of an election tainted by suspicion. No voter in America should be forced to pay thousands of dollars to know if her or his vote was counted. Still, the recount continues and we will fight to ensure the civil and voting rights of all citizens are protected. We look forward to announcing our next step on Monday and we will pursue every available remedy to ensure Pennsylvanians can trust what happened in this election.”

The state is not going to pay for a recount demanded by a crackpot.

Stein, the 1 million bond is to make sure people with only 1% of the voting total try not to disrupt the system by holding the democracy hostage with demanding recounts while admitting there is no evidence of hacking!

A recount lawsuit was filed yesterday(on the deadline) for Florida.


Hillary keeps trying to steal the election and she will try everything hiding behind puppets. Time to lock her up!

There is no automatic recount thats going to happen. The date for a recount has passed and her motion was for a contested election that she dropped. Stop getting everyone worried with the outlandish conspiracy theories. Philly was finished on Wednesday per the City Election Commissioner. This is done.

In Jill’s bank account of course.

Trump’s IRS can deal with her.

supposedly Stein was getting voters to ask for recounts in their precincts.
Supposedly she had 100 petitions filed by 11/28 so far.

Never heard anything more about those and this dismissal doesn't address it.

I trust nothing and nobody ...

So how many mainstream major media outlets are correctly reporting that the PA recount effort is now continuing with a new strategy? There don’t appear to be any.”>>>> recount deadline is past. need three people in each to file complaint and pay $150. she couldn’t get two in any precinct/ward. philly is complete. recounting a computerized system gets the same results. push the button same result. there is only manual counting of provisionals and absentee ballots which have to counted manually. This has been completed. cuz they are actually submitted on paper. it’s done.

Voter recount deadline was Nov. 21. They only had three counties and a Judge throw out one. Philadelphia is complete and was only a small percentage of the total precincts. So I think this is just one last grasp.

Trumps lead would have to drop to under 30k votes to get into automatic recount territory. That’s a loss of 16k votes from where he is.
Isn’t going to happen. All of the provisional and absentee ballots are in from dem areas. No more massive hauls for Hillary. It’s all over. Stein is done. She can blabber all she wants. The media coverage is going to dry up, and when that happens you know it’s over.

and on Kos , A Dem was bragging about doing this ? Was the Chester GOP even observing ?

on Kos , The Chester County (PA) Democratic Committee (CCDC) collected enough affidavits to have at least 60% of our precincts recounted. We collected over 400 affidavits in about 3 days to force this recount. An exceptional effort.

This recount is independent of the court-ordered recount that the Stein campaign cancelled. We took our affidavits directly to Voter Services, not the court system. It is being done at no cost to the petitioners. Two officers of the CCDC led this effort with strong support from our Zone Leaders and Committee Persons. It should be noted that we did this as volunteers for the Stein campaign, not for any other political party or organization. We had good support from the Stein campaign who sent two lawyers to Chester County to help us with the legal details.

It should be noted that we have paper ballots in Chester County which are counted by machine. Chester County is one of only 6 or 8 counties in Pennsylvania which vote using paper ballots.
