Jill Stein Challenges Constitutionality Of Pennsylvania Recount
The Daily Caller ^ | Feb. 16, 2017

Posted on 02/17/2017 7:08:46 AM PST by deplorableindc

Former Green party presidential nominee Dr. Jill Stein has asked a federal judge in Pennsylvania to rule that the state’s recount procedure is unconstitutional.

The complaint was lodged in connection with litigation staged after President Donald Trump’s victory in the November general election. Stein’s campaign raised over $7 million in order to finance recounts in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. Lawyers representing former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton briefly participated in the effort, which did not uncover evidence of abnormalities.

In an amended complaint filed this week, Stein argues Pennsylvania’s recount procedure violates the Fourteenth Amendment’s due process guarantee, because it contains no mechanism for individual voters to review a record of their ballot after casting their vote on an electronic interface.

The problem with a paper trail is that the ballot would no longer be anonymous.

ABUSE OF PROCESS, CONTEMPT OF COURT, Remanded for 90 Days and Sanctions in the amount of $10,000. A Formal Complaint to the BAR Association for Unethical Behavior demanding permanent disbarment.

That is what I would do.

On the voting machines I have used, your vote is not actually cast until it is submitted. Is this crazy woman asking for a record of their votes after they have been submitted?

The only way you weed this out is to focus on it and demand picture ID both at registration and at the polls.

Couldn’t agree more. Cut out every single facet of voter fraud.

Why is Jill still harking on the past.

It’s not too early to startup her 2020 campaign with running mate Al Franken.

If the recount procedure was ruled unconstitutional, then her lawsuit would cease to have an underlying basis. I.E. she would not have been entitled to do a recount.

But I don’t think the voters lack of ability to review thier ballot is a recount procedure issue, but rather an election integrity issue. Not arguing for or against just pointing out she seems to be barking up the wrong tree.

So apparently her husband, Dr. Richard Rohrer lacks the ability to satisfy his wife and therefore she keeps running off around the country looking for something to “fill the hole.”

Sad...If Dr. Dick would just do his job, she would go away...maybe he could prescribe himself some Viagra if looking at her or listening to her is preventing him from, *ahem* closing the deal...Sad!

Hey, Dr. Rohrer, you know that sound a woman makes after she has been fully satisfied...No, you need to work on it.

You are correct. She really is a democrat and wants to be on the ticket. The democrats won’t run Hillary again. They need a new serious candidate ... Al Franken!

So running early for the 2020 campaign is the Franken/Stein ticket!

Maybe Bill Murray could make a follow up to Groundhog Day. Election Day.

Some A-hole media person keeps waking up on Nov 6 in a B&B and hears Sonny and Cher on the clock radio.

Goes about his day expecting Hillary to win. When she doesn’t (EVERY DAY, no matter what he does to try to change it) he eventually comes to realize Trump is the better candidate/American and lives happily ever after.

Maybe have Ann Coulter in the romantic interest roll.

Stein is hoping to elicit a Pavlovian monetary response from George Soros.

Yup. Apparently she has become uncomfortable with her new found irrelevancy and the associated anonymity.
