JUST IN: Montgomery County Board of Elections postpones certification of General Election results.
Fox 29 Philly via Twitter ^ | 11/28/16

Posted on 11/28/2016 2:09:26 PM PST by Maceman

I don't know if this means anything in light of the PA State Department's announcement that Stein missed the deadline.

But this Fox29 Philly tweet was posted to twitter at 1:33pm today.

Can anybody who's knowledgeable explain what this means, if it means anything?

Fine Stein about $7 million or so.

When was PA supposed to be certified (absent the suit)?

"Trump’s lawyers should challenge her standing. It is inconceivable that any recount could flip enough votes to give Jill Stein those electors. Hence she has no business bringing the case. If Hillary wants to try, let her put her grubby little fingerprints all over it."

That's what bothers me about this: how can a candidate who has absolutely no chance of winning demand a recount? As you suggested, she has no standing.

It seems that she is just a Hillary surrogate, trying to give Hillary plausible deniability, e.g., "Oh, I accepted the election results, but when Jill raised these issues, I saw she had a point, so I joined in." BS.

I expect the suit to ultimately be tossed.

Stein probably does too. Then she can keep all that money.

Uhh there will be no more ballots added. This is a recount of votes already cast and in PA all voting is electronic and there is no paper trail to verify votes.

All they will do is punch “count” button on voting machines and they will report same totals as on Nov 8-9. Trump stil wins by 70,000 votes.

Maybe Trump should ask trusted solider and loyal, proven fighter Romney what he should do

The thing is that Stein is not going to court, but 100 voters in PA. They can claim their vote was changed by hackers and in that way got standing.

They’re busy forming a cabinet so they can govern on Jan 21. The recounts are all BS and Team Trump knows it. Let the Dems chase that rabbit.

In Montgomery County, Hillary outperformed Obama's 2012 results.

Montgomery County is an outlier. Hillary underperformed Obama in Philadelphia, Delaware County, and Bucks County. If there's something fishy, it has to be why Montgomery County didn't follow the trend of the rest of the state.

It is technologically impossible to hack a voting machine as they are not connected on the Internet. They will all be regarded as loons or sour grapes losers in a frivolous claim. Nothing more.

“Don’t know. But where are the Trump people on all this? Are they sleeping?”

I’m sure they’re monitoring it, but it’s been nothing but joke level theatrics. Voicing any concerns would give it some credibility. Ignoring it is the wise move.

Obviously, if this would escalate into a real “threat”, Trump’s team would be all over it, but it’s pointless to do anything since it’s obviously nothing more than nonsense promoted by a media whore and funded by people that outright hate Donald Trump. Why make them look even remotely credible. That’s the kind of crap the old GOP would do.

Allegheny County is similar to Montgomery County. Trump 2016 performed worse than Romney in 2012, bucking the trend in the rest of the state.

I expect that there is a law that specifies the conditions that have to be met for the certification, and if they have been met, he is being “wronged”, IMHO.

Can this block the state from certifying the rest of the counties in the state?

No. If re-counts delay the state's certification past the December 13 deadline for certification specified by the constitution, the state legislature is empowered to appoint their own slate of electors.

These electors would then cast the state's EVs when the Electoral College meets on December 19.

Inasmuch as the Republicans control both houses of the state legislature, you can be confident that Trump will be the recipient of these EVs.

For the record, Republicans also control both houses of the Wisconsin and Michigan legislatures. Thus, every state will be heard from in the Electoral College and Trump will get his 306 EV.
