Green Party Sad They Have To Pay For a Recount Pennsylvania
Exile News Service ^ | 12/5/2016

Posted on 12/05/2016 9:34:11 AM PST by tekrat

Whats going on in Pennsylvania is that there is a certain margin of votes that have to be reached before a recount is triggered. Pennsylvania has not hit that level. So for there to be a recount the Green Party would have to put up a $1,000,000 dollars bond for the labor in the event the election results do not change for the winning candidate. The Green Party does not want to put up the money. So they're filing a federal lawsuit to try to force a recount for free.  Even though it cost them to file the suit.

In the video above a representative for the Green Party did what I would call an 'impromptu presser'. It looks more like a two or three local reporters caught him on the street after filing the lawsuit.

The reason I think its was not planned was because the representative was asked repeatedly for specific examples of voter fraud. The representative, who did not give his name in the video, could not produce a single incident of fraud in Pennsylvania. Instead he went into allegory that votes are kept in a room with a thousand doors and no security.  So he didn't seem to have any sympathetic or softball questions that a full presser would have.

Party, and I mean “parteee” money having to be used for a stoopid recount? Not like it’s ‘their’ money.

I'd charge them double or triple, and bring in "green" lighting, power, recycled "green" office supplies, etc.

Typical LIB losers. As always, they expect someone else to carry the burden. These pathetic losers are worth a laugh but very, very tiresome.

Trump should fly in 30 ND state troopers to arrest Stein when she’s in front of Trump tower at her rally today. They can use Trump force one to bring her back to jail.

Why was Wisconsin worth $3.5 million but Pennsylvania isn’t worth $1 million?

Maybe they will shop around in PA for a liberal democrat judge appointed by obamma like the one they found in Michigan that rule in her favor.

No, they filed suit this morning in Federal court asking for PA’s request for the $1M bond be set aside and the recount be done without it.

She filed with a federal court today. The judge will be Paul S Diamond, a Bush appointee and things are looking good based on his Nov 8, 2016 decision on a different topic.

The judge in PA is a GWB appointee who ruled in favor of Republicans in a previous election case. Paul Diamond.

Of course they have to pay. Why else was Jill Stein fundraising? Oh, never mind.

Diamond could dismiss Stein’s case due to lack of standing and premature appeal, and end this farce immediately.
