Philadelphia starts an election recount of 4 percent of divisions
Philly.Com News ^ | December 2, 2016 | Claudia Vargas

Some snapped pictures, others watched intently as an official recount of 75 Philadelphia voting divisions took place Friday afternoon at the city's massive voting machine warehouse in Nicetown.

The recount of 4 percent of the city's 1,686 voting divisions was the result of a recount campaign launched by Green party presidential candidate Jill Stein in various counties and states throughout the country.

Philadelphia City Commissioners, who make up the Board of Elections, agreed to recount ballots in 75 divisions in which there were at least three affidavits for each division from voters asking for a recount. They rejected the request for a forensic audit of the voting machine's software.

The recount process will continue Sunday morning at the commissioner's Front and Spring Garden offices, the commissioners said. There, representatives from each party are invited to see a recount of the provisional, absentee, overseas and military ballots filed in the 75 voting divisions selected for a recount.

This “recount” does not make sense, because the voting machines are not being checked out.

This #### is right now the most hated woman in America.

Right now I hate her more than hillary.

I’m SICK of these “socialism for thee but not for me” ###hole like Stein and Sanders.

Of course she’s getting some green out of this, and it ain’t trees.

This not only shows that even in Philly they know this is a Nothing burger but that military votes are counted.

Yeah now this is weird news... first I’ve heard of this.
Philly is not a place I trust to do a sudden “recount”??
Possibly looking to booger up the system to lend credence to the idea that something went wrong Election Day??? Giving reason for Stein campaign to fight for state recounts???

Hating Jill Stein isn't worth the energy expended. Her recount crusade will have absolutely no effect on the election and in the meantime, she's swindled heartbroken Democrats out of millions of dollars.

I kind of admire her gumption!

Trump’s 71,000 vote lead in PA is now down to 49,000. Dems will keep counting till the bitch takes the lead or hell will freeze over. Even if a judge halts the recount they’ll keep on counting and say Clinton won, and they’ll do this in Michigan, Wisconsin and PA. No one committs voter fraud like the dems, their pros at it. Then for the next four years you’ll hear that Clinton won the popular vote and the electoral collage but right-wing courts took the win away from her.

It doesn’t make sense because the deadline was 11/21 for 3 voters from each district to request a recount. With deadline passed, why are they allowing this?

Sometimes you hate the weasel you didn’t know was a weasel more than their masters.

Like the kid in class who squeals to get favor with the teacher.

I will be back to hating hillary more after this recount #### is over.

Hillary wants a constitutional crisis.

She wouldn’t do all this unless dems had a few tricks up their slimy little sleeves.

Your logic is flawed good sir. The only person that can benifit from this is Hillary. Hillary has joined this recount and supports it. This is Hillary's recount and not Jill Stein's recount. Hating Gill Stein is okay but direct your hate to the true machinations of this recount which is Hillary Clinton.

Ask yourself how could Gill Stein raise more money in 10 days for the recount than she could in the last six months? The answer is very simple, it is Hillary Clinton and Soros or others in the like of Soros.

There’s no such thing as an actual recount when leftists are involved. Every supposed recount finds additional votes for the dem candidate, so in actuality it’s nothing more than fraud and an attempt at theft. Even if they don’t inject enough phony votes in there to make Illary win, they’ll try their best and cite the results of their criminal activity as ‘proof’ that they were victimized by the system. They truly are shameless and evil.

She's promising the alluring possibility of an electoral do-over to angry, depressed voters looking for a quick fix, as long as you keeping clicking her PayPal link. Not much different than what Taitz, Dononfrio, Zullo, etc. were dong with their birther stuff after Obama won.

Except Stein is far, far better at it.
