"The old Double Standard trick, eh?"

HARRISBURG — Former Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein on Monday continued her campaign to contest the election results in three battleground states, filing suit in Pennsylvania seeking a statewide recount.
Legal papers filed in Commonwealth Court by a lawyer for Stein’s campaign contend the Nov. 8 election was “illegal” and the results inaccurate based on research suggesting there might have been irregularities with electronic voting machines, among other evidence.
“Petitioners have grave concerns about the integrity of electronic voting machines used in their districts,” the suit stated.
Though Monday’s petition was filed by 100 Pennsylvania voters, as required by the state’s election law, it is part of Stein’s effort to challenge results in three states that were critical to deciding the presidential election.
Stein’s camp filed a recount petition last week in Wisconsin, and is expected to do so this week Michigan. Clinton lost each of the state by fewer than 100,000 votes. She lost Pennsylvania by about 71,300 votes. As of Monday evening, Stein had raised nearly $6.4 million dollars, covering the costs of recounts in both Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, and is close to her total goal of $7 million goal to cover recount costs in Michigan. But when it comes to the Keystone State, it turns out raising the money might have been the easiest step.
As Stein points out herself in a video posted on Sunday, initiating a statewide recount of Pennsylvania’s vote is “especially complicated.” Unlike Wisconsin, Stein can’t simply file a direct request for a recount, leaving just two paths for a potential statewide audit.
Stein's lawsuit would have to present evidence that election fraud was probable in Pennsylvania. Democratic Secretary of State Pedro Cortes says there's no evidence of voting irregularities during the Nov. 8 election “Absolutely not,” Cortes told reporters.

Right about Philly! And maybe Trump should ask for recount elsewhere? NH was but 2700 difference for Hillary. And Cali was a mess of illegals. Ex-convicts. Motor voters. Multiple voters, etc.
She wants to use our election to test her theories. We can not allow our elections to be disrupted so that she may test their theories.
Depends on whether the Governor is a Democrat or not.
She needed those 3 voters by 11/20.
I don’t think Trump is stupid but he got caught flat footed in several states when Cruz used superior knowledge of then process to take primary delegates away from him. If happened several times so we cannot discount possibility it could again.
Sometimes there are thousands of additional ballots found in a storage unit, under the stairs in the church basement, of in the trunk of the car of an election worker, IIRC.
This thread is way too long.
Stein missed the filing deadline for recounts because she is totally stupid.
Now she is left with appealing the counted vote and claiming fraud.
Since brown stuff coming out of the rear ends of her attorneys does not count as fraud it is game, set, match.

And think of the carbon emissions! The horror!
True.
