"The petition shall concisely set forth the cause of complaint, showing wherein it is claimed that the primary or election is illegal..."

So this is quite different than alleging the votes were simply mis-counted. The petitioners must allege that the election was illegal. Section 1757 requires that at least five of the one hundred petitioners must file a sworn Affidavit under penalty of perjury:

"Such affidavits shall be taken and subscribed before some person authorized by law to administer oaths, and shall set forth that they believe the facts stated therein are true, that according to the best of their knowledge and belief, the primary or election was illegal and the return thereof not correct, and that the petition to contest the same is made in good faith."

Considering that there is absolutely no evidence that the election in Pennsylvania was illegal, nobody can legally swear out such an affidavit. Evidence is something tangible indicating illegality. Simply alleging that Democrats did better in certain places in past elections is not evidence of illegality.

Here’s the part that reveals Jill is nothing but a scammer:

As for Jill Stein’s successful public cry for millions, she claims at her website that “fundraising for Pennsylvania’s voter-initiated recount” has already been complete. The statement is fraudulent on it’s face, in that she has been raising a ton of money when, in fact, there will be no “voter-initiated recount”.

According to Pennsylvania law, no “recount” or “recanvassing” is possible. Trump won by more than .5% of the vote. Had he won by less - according to Section 1404(g) of Pennsylvania Election Code - there could have been an automatic recount ordered.

The next possibility was for voters to allege “fraud or error” in the tabulation of votes by a certain deadline that has already passed. The unofficial county-by-county returns were submitted, according to law, by November 15th, and any petition for a recount alleging “fraud or error” in the counting (or canvassing) of ballots had to be inititated by at least three petitioners within five days after November 15th. Pennsylvania Election Code states at Section 1404(f):
