Trump Team Moves To Block Pennsylvania Recount
USA Breaking News.net ^ | 6 hours ago

Posted on 12/02/2016 4:49:30 AM PST by drewh

Attorneys for President-elect Donald Trump have moved to block the vote recount in Pennsylvania, adding to complaints filed to stop similar proceedings in Michigan and Wisconsin.

“Despite being no more than a blip on the electoral radar, Stein has now commandeered Pennsylvania’s electoral process, with an eye toward doing the same to the Electoral College,” the complaint filed Thursday states.

“There is no evidence — or even an allegation — that any tampering with Pennsylvania’s voting systems actually occurred.”

The filing comes on the heels of the Trump camp’s complaint reported earlier Thursday in Michigan dismissing Green Party candidate Jill Stein’s claims of impropriety during the 2016 presidential race, and a day after the the Wisconsin Republican Party logged a complaint with the Federal Election Committee arguing that Stein was seeking to benefit Democratic Party nominee Hillary Clinton.

Stein rejected the president-elect’s efforts as “outrageous” Thursday. “The recount in Michigan, which has been driven by an outpouring of grassroots support in the state — will go forward,” she said in a statement.

“The Michigan Board of State Canvassers and Director of Elections has been a model of professionalism in moving this recount forward in an efficient, transparent manner. Yet the Trump campaign’s cynical efforts to delay the recount and create unnecessary costs for taxpayers are shameful and outrageous.”

Hillary is done as a presidential candidate and she knows it. Last gasps of a failed American politician.

Remember, this is the same person who alleges that the Wisconsin voting machines are illegal.

Do all the recounting they want as long as it stops in time to certify the state’s vote before the electoral college vote. Attempting to deprive a state from participating in the college with frivolous recounts should be a federal crime and I can’t see any judge going for that crap.

She won't be running in 2020. She could barely walk in 2016.

Just for shit’s and giggles, Trump should challenge California results.

All this waste of time and resources for a candidate who averaged 700 votes per county in PA. Taje out Philly and it is likely a handful of votes per county. How is this legal?

Anytime liberals use the word ‘transparent’ you can be assured they’re not.

I'm not convinced it was Parkinson's. I think it was the booze.

Not saying her liver will make it to 2020, of course...

One silver lining: Dragging out this folly may reduce the chances of an Obama pardon for Hillary.

:: Stein was seeking to benefit Democratic Party nominee Hillary Clinton ::

Disagree. The effort is to repudiate DJT’s effort to find said Climate Change as a political hoax.
