Jill Stein posted to her Jill2016 website that she had raised enough money to file for a recount in Pennsylvania. However, the Green Party candidate left out some key details about the filing of recounts in Pennsylvania that many of her supporters likely would have wanted to know before donating. For example, candidates cannot file a direct request for a recount in the state and instead must appeal the election in court.

Stein noted that she was hoping to raise funds via grassroots efforts to demand that recounts take place in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. She claimed data has suggested a need for recounting machine-counted votes in these particular states, which also happen to be states that Trump unexpectedly beat Clinton.
Follow Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump The Green Party scam to fill up their coffers by asking for impossible recounts is now being joined by the badly defeated & demoralized Dems 6:31 PM - 26 Nov 2016 14,904 14,904 Retweets 42,094 42,094 likes Steins fundraising efforts immediately sparked the interest of Clinton supporters as it played on the hope that Hillary still had a chance at the presidency. Should all three states be overturned in a recount, Clinton would have enough electorates to win the election. However, Stein did not make the recount process clear for her donors. Her outline makes it sound as though a candidate can simply file for a recount if they raise enough funds for the filing fee.
While the filing fee and request is all that is needed in Wisconsin, her second state funded is much more complicated. Pennsylvania does not allow candidates to file a direct request for a recount, according to the Pennsylvania Election Code. Instead, the filing fee is simply the amount needed to appeal the results.

SHARE 99 TWEET While candidates cannot file a direct request for a recount, they may appeal the order or decision of any county board regarding the computation or canvassing of the returns of any primary or election, or regarding any recount or recanvass thereof. During the appeal process, the court may determine that a recount is necessary. Per Pennsylvania regulations, there is only one way remaining for Jill Stein to get a recount in Pennsylvania and it is a complicated process. BillyPenn reports that Stein would have to file for a court appeal and present a prima facie case showing that voter fraud took place. While prima facie has a lower burden of proof threshold than beyond reasonable doubt, it is still significant. Stein would have to prove in court that fraud was probable. This is going to be very difficult given that even the computer specialists recommending the recount say there is no proof of hacking or fraud.

The Obama administration echoed that by stating that the government did not observe any increased level of malicious cyber-activity aimed at disrupting our electoral process on election day. According to Newsmax, Obama is standing behind the results which indicate that Trump won the election, saying the election was free and fair from a cybersecurity perspective.
Elias also noted that in even the closest margin state, Michigan, Trumps win well exceeds the largest margin ever overcome in a recount. Therefore, Elias says that is why Clinton herself did not pursue a recount effort. However, since Stein has funded and initiated the effort, Elias says that Clinton will participate to ensure fairness.
Stein has maintained that the effort is not designed to overturn the election results, but rather to ensure transparency in the voting process. Stein has even criticized Clinton for joining her efforts so late in the game, calling her on-again, off-again about democracy.

Stein has said she is filing but has given no further details about the efforts. Should she file, the next step would be to prove her prima facie case in court.
Yes it is.

So much foreign money she is making bank so many non us citizens @DrJillStein cant use that money for a #Recount its unethical.
@seanhannity
Unfortunately the PA Supreme Court is dominated by Democrat hacks. The unions ambushed us in an off-year election.
There is none other than WI has very loose standards for demanding a recount - I believe that the Clinton Foundation needs to move money out of their foundation before Trump gets in power. I have a strong feeling their ledger is bulging after the election and they need to get rid of some cash any way possible.
Yep. “Prove” in their deranged little lefty minds that Trump was ‘selected not elected’ aka Bush v. Gore by getting a court ruling against themselves, and use it as a bludgeon on him for 4 years to pave the way for Hillary’s third run at this in 2020.
Don’t think for a minute Bill and Hill aren’t plotting for 2020 even now.
She’s flacking for the Clinton Campaign. The Clinton campaign personnel who are pushing this don’t want it to be too obvious that they’re behind this.
[I kinda missed that up ~~
Folks, keep watching 0Hour1, Brian, he is really exposing that Jill site and all her foreigner friends — as we speak.
Nope. Has to file with the PA Superior Court. Cant be a local Court of Common Pleas.

The PA Superior Court appears to have 7 republicans and 7 democrats. Not really sure what to make of it.
This could be more interesting.
Get the popcorn now!
Good point. The games afoot at recount officials, in courts soon, by threatening electors, and by bribing electors too. And — she/Soros do not plan to let mr Trump take office -— except I think he’s tougher than even the wicked witch plus the satanic Old Nazi. We will see but it looks very very good the R party chose mr Trump. Nobody else could possibly survive this onslaught of raw evil forces.
Don’t laugh this off, folks. Hopefully, some pro-Trump people will have lawyers sent to counter this suit, should it happen. Because we all know that undoubtedly Clinton campaign members, leftoids, Democrats, GOP-e and/or Nevertrumpers are behind this.
This must not be allowed to succeed.
(Do I want to stomp out voter fraud? Of course. But this attempt has nothing to do with that, IMO. Why not peruse Virginia as well, where Hillary narrowly won, no doubt due in part to McAwful’s hijinks with pardoning 60,000 felons with an autopen? Furthermore, there is no credible evidence of hanky-panky in these states, as far as I know.)
PING!

On Saturday evening we started sifting through Facebook accounts and found 100s of foreigners dumping funds into Dr Jill Steins account.
This is highly illegal we expect the Trump campaign to challenge the donations on Monday.
Supreme court clearly defined this practice as illegal and influencing United States elections.

Just one of the donors a citizen of Denmark we found donors from all over the world.

During the debate, Hillary was appalled that anyone would challenge our election process.
Maybe so.
But this isn’t just a wild throw. Expect Michigan to be next.
However, I'm sure she's already figured out how to spend every penny of it on lawyers and salaries for campaign staff (including herself) over the next few weeks.
no body was tricked. people just did not read thoroughly or investigate before voting.
Not a legal but financial. She keeps what money isn’t used in the recount process. She is a whore.
Amen.
