Evidently, this is Stein’s request for a statewide recount. She is still pursuing a recount on a county by county basis.

Here’s the link:

http://www.philly.com/philly/news/politics/presidential/20161204_Jill_Stein_campaign_drops_recount_effort_in_Pa_.html

Appropriate quotes:

From the first paragraph: “Former Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein discontinued her statewide recount effort in Pennsylvania Saturday afternoon after a Commonwealth Court judge mandated the campaign post a $1 million bond to press on with its challenge.” (note ‘statewide recount’)

The last two paragraphs:

“Meanwhile, Stein’s campaign intends to continue its county-by-county recount effort in Pennsylvania, said attorney Larry Otter. That requires efforts in individual precincts - a process that requires three voters to petition their local election boards.”

“Recounts are currently underway in Bucks, Montgomery and Delaware counties, Otter said.”

Did’nt the Bush/Gore decision require recounts in the entire state rather than in only selected counties?

“Recounts are currently underway in Bucks, Montgomery and Delaware counties, Otter said.”

So, she's shifting to the Al Gore approach by only asking for recounts in select counties in hopes that will be the trick?

There’s no recount in Montgomery. It was halted by a judge. The recounts in other counties involve no more than a tiny percentage of precincts. It’s OVER.

From Philly.com

“”The judge’s outrageous demand that voters pay such an exorbitant figure is a shameful, unacceptable barrier to democratic participation,” Stein said in a statement Saturday.”

Cry Baby Cry! Apparently Soros pockets weren’t quite as deep as Hillary thought. Even he had his limits with this 3 ring circus.
