Oops! Jill Stein Cannot File Direct Request for Recount in Pennsylvania, Must Take It to Court
Gateway Pundit ^ | 11/26/2016 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 11/27/2016 8:15:02 AM PST by GilGil

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...

Stein has to prove that fraud took place:

In addition to submitting the petition, Stein must demonstrate that "a mistake or fraud has been committed. She has not yet done so.

“I think Trump will now renig on Hitlery’s get out of jail free card.”

But he won’t make an announcement about it, he will just let Sessions move forward without any interference from the White House.

““Stein walks away with $5-10 million...

What would the tax bill be on that amount?”

Wait a minute! She says that if they don’t use the money for the recounts, she’s going to use it to further “voter integrity!” In other words, she’s going to use it to devise newer, hopefully more effective vote fraud schemes.

I think that Shrillary & cohorts mis-calculated how much fraud would be needed.

She didn’t even go to 13 states in the Union. She didn’t take her message to 26% of the country.

The voter rolls need to be started over-—No more Motor Voter laws, either.

More bad optics by team Hillary. Piss Trump off, piss Obama off, with the sharks circling on the Clinton Foundation and the emails? Trump then comes back and doubles down by instituting a national ID law for presidential elections to show that he cares about these things. Ooops, there goes the illegal immigration votes, there goes the myth of Hillary winning the popular vote. Her obsession with being President knows no bounds.

Simple as that and who can disagree with enforcing the law without looking like an utter feces extraction portal?

Who can disagree with enforcing the law? Well, millions of people living in the sanctuary cities across the country are doing that right now. And as far as looking like you’ve described, these people are looked upon as heroes by Leftists everywhere.

The sooner people realize that these are people who would kill the men, rape our women and sell our children into slavery, the better off we are. No more “my good friends across the aisle”. No more “we take the high road”.

This is war. Either we win or they will. There are no other options.

I’ve been making this point for years. Unfortunately most people are unable to see it because they’ve been successfully indoctrinated for years.

She did it once and I don’t think she will repeat that mistake.

I don’t think she’ll repeat it either because soon she will be either in prison or in nursing home or in the ground.

Try this one on for size!!! "Specifically, Wisconsin mandates that for a recount petition to be valid, it must have included payment of the estimated recount-cost at the time of the petition. The deadline for petitions was Friday 11/25. Ms. Stein did not pay even one dollar toward the estimated recount-cost at the time of her petition, therefore her petition is not valid, and the WEC does not have authority to bend or change election law after the election." (see post # 81 http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3498729/posts?q=1&;page=51) And there we have it. PA recount is in big, big trouble and now Wisconsin does not look like it will go through. All the pieces are falling into place. And do you know why Stein and Bernie are laughing? Here is why!

I've read the Wisconsin statute concerning recounts. The statute states that the petitioner is required to pay for the recount after the cost has been estimated by the board of elections.

It's not possible to pay for the recount at the time of filing, if the cost isn't known.

It is true that the recount won't begin until Stein pays for it in full.
