Green Party's Jill Stein To Seek Intervention Of Federal Court In Pennsylvania Recount Bid
RT News ^ | December 4, 2016

Posted on 12/04/2016 5:36:27 AM PST by Fennie

US Green Party candidate Jill Stein said her campaign will appeal to a federal court on Monday to seek a state-wide vote recount in Pennsylvania, hours after dropping a lawsuit in a local court, saying the cost of the lawsuit was too high.

"Make no mistake - the Stein campaign will continue to fight for a state-wide recount in Pennsylvania. We are committed to this fight to protect the civil and voting rights of all Americans," Jonathan Abady, the lead counsel for Jill Stein's recount bid, said in a statement on Sunday.

"The barriers to verifying the vote in Pennsylvania are so pervasive and that the state court system is so ill-equipped to address this problem, we must seek federal court intervention," the statement added.

As a result, Stein is expected to file a new lawsuit with a federal court to demand a state-wide recount "on constitutional grounds," Abady stressed.

It appears, the Greens filed in Federal Court late last night. Another article suggesting Clinton Campaign motivation for this recounting until they get the votes they want tactic.

Soros appears as the funding source for the Clinton Campaign :steal the electoral college effort working with the Green Party.

They must have found a rabid Clinton or Hussain appointee, a strict unconstitutionalist.

And even then, they’ll be voting Democrat in Philadelphia (or Milwaukee or Denver or Los Angeles and San Francisco and Oakland and San Diego and ...)

“I thought she raised $7.5MM? After deducting the $3.4MM for Wisconsin and $1MM for Michigan, doesn’t she still have $3.1MM left?”

I thought is was because she did not post the $1 million dollar bond by a certain deadline. So how is the Federal court going to change that? Are they going to arbitrarily going to install a new deadline?

In making her announcement that they’re going the federal courts route, Stein said they were suing under “Constitutional” questions.

I’m not a lawyer, but as I recall the Alan Keyes case in one of CA’s federal courts was tossed because of lack of ‘standing,’ since he received only @ 1% of the vote, similar to Stein.
