Green Party drops PA case, plans to go federal
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette ^ | December 3, 2016 | Marc Levy / Associated Press

HARRISBURG, Pa. — Green Party-backed voters dropped a court case Saturday night that had sought to force a statewide recount of Pennsylvania’s Nov. 8 presidential election, won by Republican Donald Trump, in what Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein had framed as an effort to explore whether voting machines and systems had been hacked and the election result manipulated.

But later Saturday night, the party announced it’ll go to federal court instead. A statement from the lead lawyer for the recount campaign says it’ll seek an emergency federal court order for the recount. It says barriers to a recount in Pennsylvania are pervasive and the state court system isn’t equipped to address them.

This is like Nightmare on Elm Street XII. Freddy will never go away, except for maybe five minutes.

They knew they could not win at the State level and now they are shopping a Federal Judge.

This is even though Jill Stein has zero evidence and had less than 1% of the vote.

I have no doubt they are manufacturing votes right now. They already accidentally found 20 thousand more votes for Hillary that were some how missed on an election night? We all know that’s bull$hit. There is no way the State of Pennsylvania missed that many votes.

No doubt the Globalists are trying to steal this election from President-Elect Trump.

Looks like CLINTON and SOROS want a shooting war - no other outcome if they get their way in freezing 200+ years of American presidential elections. Elevating CLINTON as the winner somehow? This is an insane thought that would only result in full-scale Civil War; or maybe the objective is to leave OBAMA in office by default if the election is nullified?

The only way that will happen is if we have wide spread rioting, looting , rape and mayhem in all of our larger cities.

Obama could then declare martial law and postpone the inauguration.

Maybe this is the Globalist plan. We will have to see.
But somehow I doubt it at this stage.

“They already found 20,000 votes for Clinton that were somehow missed on election night”

Does anyone ever READ the news available? These votes were not “found”. They are absentee and provisional ballots and their existence has been known since the count started. They have not been counted until now because their numbers were not enough to change the result of the presidential race. There would have been counted in PA and everywhere else they exist before the vote is certified.

Again, these are NOT manufactured votes. They have now been counted and except for a very, very few in the outlying districts (heavily Republican) the counting is done in PA.

BTW, the reason these votes went so heavily for Clinton is because they are all from Philly which is almost 100% Democrat.

Also, the absentee ballots may have been sent before the damaging FBI report was issued a few days before the election.

It could be exactly that. They’re hoping for us react physically so they can declare Martial Law.

We need to stay in ‘cold anger’ mode. Cold anger strengthens our resolve. Hot anger is what they are hoping for.

I’m sure you are correct. In fact I would say the huge majority of them were sent before that.

I believe absentee ballots should be strictly prohibited unless the voter can show he will be out of the State or Country.

We all know that’s bull$hit.

That is bullsh!t alright. The votes weren't "missed" on election night. We've known about them all along. They were known to exist, and the numbers were known. Furthermore, the distribution of votes was about 4:1 for Hillary, which was roughly what they were in the counties' tallies on election night.

These aren't missed votes.They were provisional and absentee ballots that needed to be counted by hand. There is nothing surprising about them. Calm down.

Partially correct. Pennsylvania has some of the best voter laws in the country when you are talking about honesty at the county level such as Westmoreland, one of the larger counties where I serve on a precinct election board and know our county counterparts very well.

Provisional and late arriving absentee votes get very close inspection before they are added to the countywide totals. This is because our election boards are balanced and scrupulously honest. As a result, you can look at our county abstracts and see a TOTAL of around 100 votes (roughly one for every three precincts) added to the county totals from these sources. By the way, we are not a Podunk rural county. We are one of the larger suburban ring counties around Pittsburgh.

If Philadelphia adhered to the same standards of honesty which we do, one could expect around 2500 TOTAL votes added from these sources. A net 20,000 votes for one candidate . . . No way!

If the military rallies around Trump, they’d have to mobilize gun owners in the states inclined to secede. Heh. New York and California made sure to eliminate as many gun owners as they could, and alienate the rest. Then, when joining hands and singing kumbaya and throwing bricks and firebombs fails to even impress the military, those that rose in insurrection would be disenfranchised unless they swear an oath of loyalty to the United States.
