That would be a case of "tit-for-tat", right?

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.”

I can see a Democrat judge going for anything that Hillary wants.
Stein only commandeered the PA Election process, likewise in MI and WI, because lawyers working for Team Trump/ GOP allowed it to happen.
These attorneys are simply not of the same caliber as Bush’s Florida attorneys were in 2000!!
As has been stated many times, they know they can't overturn the results of the election. Their real intent is to do whatever they can to portray the Trump presidency as illegitimate. They hope to prevent enough electors from voting to bring Trump down below 270. He would still, of course, win by having more electoral votes than Hillary, however, the media has made so much of the "270" number that many people think that you MUST have that many votes to be declared the winner. In reality, it represents the winning number if ALL electoral votes are counted. If they succeed, the talking point will be "Trump didn't win the popular vote, and he didn't get the REQUIRED 270 electoral votes (a lie), therefore his presidency is illegitimate." Their target audience is the low information voters who will accept this lie at face value.
No!I wiLL try to shed some pizz on her grave however!
The 12th amendment says it’s a majority of electors Appointed. One could argue the electors are already Appointed in these states.
Just like in the other 2 states:
If the re-count has officially started because of the Stein maneuver, then the count gets delayed past when the count can be completed, the electors cannot vote when the electoral college meets. This disenfranchises every, single voter in the entire state.
Trump will be blamed for it because of his “obstructionist move to ensure having a fair vote. Now everyone lost their vote. Thanks Trump!” (Notice the play on “thanks, Obama!” meme)
May all the red ants of the Sahara Desert come up and infest her armpits.
Phillip Beck, who was the lead attorney for the Bush campaign Florida recount in 2000, actually praised the Gore legal team, noting that Gore’s legal team never attacked the Supreme Court or claimed the election was stolen. Compare that to the Democrat rabble of the time, including Gore’s political team.
Probably both.
But I do think Hillary has some sort of brain disorder.
Even when she is supposedly normal, her walking and stride
is calculated, slow and seems hesitant. I have
experience with Parkinson's Disease suffers and she looks
she has it or something similar. She shows the symptoms.
Plus she is probably boozing a lot.
Absolutely correct, however, the Democrats will try to convince the public that the 270 figure MUST be reached in order for a candidate to be viewed as legitimately winning the election. For them, it's all about perception, not facts.
They won't stop until they get the results they want: Hillary in the White House.
LOL. Not. Going. To. Happen.
Sore losers!!
You and the whole "words mean what the words state" thing. You're so 18th century for thinking words mean what the words are. Today the courts splinter off in 10,000 interpretations of an effort to try and extract the intent of the writer of those words and have that weigh in more than the narrow definitions of those words.
Get in a VERY long line.
My gut hurts from LOL!
Supported by the same propagandists that asserted Trumps pre-election claims of election fraud were treasonous
Bush lawyers in 2000 were definitely more proactive than these lawyers. Other attorneys are questioning the lack of action by these attorneys- especially with many actionable items out there!
Seen any good riots lately? Cause any?
The deadline for filing for a recount in PA was Nov. 21. Stein didn’t file until Nov. 28. It shouldn’t take a competent judge more than a minute to look at the two dates and dismiss the recount as illegal.
You missed my point. The three contested states have already Appointed there electors. That means 270 is the majority and cannot change. It’s not a majority of electors who vote, it’s a majority of electors Appointed. The recounts are an attempt to change the current electors.
