They can have their recount, but the Pa Secretary of State certification should still stand, and the state’s electors still vote, Trump still wins Pa, and the Presidency.
Jill Stein, master of farce.
I wish Jillary Clintonstein would just give up.
Chester County is very red.
Did the Pa. Secretary of State certify the election? I cannot find that he has.
No, I believe that is scheduled for Monday
> if three people in a given precinct request a recount, [] some of the people petitioning for the recount were either not registered to vote, or had registered in another precinct than the one they signed a petition for.
Wouldn’t that void the petition for that precinct
That’s what I would think. Also, I thought that there was a cutoff date by state law that they could do this kind of petition.
Otherwise they would be able to do it forever!
The ClinToons must be paying ‘Jill The Shill’ plenty money.....
here’s a question:
what PROOF do they have that the votes being counted were cast properly?
ie: cast by a living citizen in their home district and nowhere else
looks like they might have....stein filed for 151 and only got 143.
crazy...
Not according to the unoffical results:
On Dec. 2, unofficial county results in the presidential race showed Democrat Hillary Clinton leading all candidates with 141,694 votes, followed by Republican Donald J. Trump, now president-elect, who had 116,147. Stein lagged far behind in the race, with 2,253 ballots cast, or .83 percent.
That’s weird. Aside from West Chester Borough, all I saw were Trump signs everywhere. Not one Hillary sign in the rest of my time...
Laws are written with reasonable men in mind. Laws cannot cope well with unreasonable, uncivil society.
It is extremely hard to write a law that would allow normal citizens to make reasonable requests for recounts when they have real concerns, that can’t be exploited by charlatans who are trying to raise money or cause political trouble.
Sometimes, a good media can provide factual reporting that will lead to mocking, ridicule, and otherwise shaming of these people — but our media is instead championing these malcontents.
Chester County has always been heavily Republican. The town of West Chester (the Country seat) may lean blue because of West Chester University.
I’m still lost here. Trump (if I read this right) carried PA by 68,236 votes. What gives? How can the result remotely change?
Yeah, Hillary won by 9 points. Bucks County is the “redder” Philly suburb, where she only one by 1 point.
Trump already lost a third of his winning margin in PA since the election day totals before any recount even started, as the final official counts came in.
She's making money hand over fist.
Speaking of graft, some guy started one of those on-line petitions asking the electors to vote for Hillary because she won the popular vote. He linked it to a GoFundMe account and in three weeks has already collected nearly $200,000 in donations.
I really need to figure out a way to separate heartbroken Hillary voters from their money. It's the best scam going right now.
“Trump (if I read this right) carried PA by 68,236 votes.”
Actually its down to about 44,000 after absentee ballots were counted but it’s still far, far more than any recount has ever made up.
