PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Green Party-backed lawyers want a federal judge to order a recount of Pennsylvania's Nov. 8 presidential election result, won by Republican Donald Trump.

A federal lawsuit filed Monday morning in Philadelphia names state elections officials and says Pennsylvania's barriers to a recount violate voters' constitutional rights.

So, everybody has been saying the Green party is embarrassed by Jill’s actions.

Apparently not.

If anyone had a good impression of the Greens, this news ends it.

I never gave the Greens a thought, but now I hate these wankers.

I think it’s bad writing, I mean shouldn’t it be Jill Stein’s lawyers?

The voters rights are the right to vote IF THEY ARE A CITIZEN and to have their vote counted. That’s been done.

Mullah Obama or Nana Hillary could at least try to stop this, if they cared about a “peaceful transition.”

This ongoing saga is useful only in the revelation that the Greens are just one more undercover shill for the global elite.

Correct, they’re just trying to spin this as “green party unity”.

” Pennsylvania’s barriers to a recount violate voters’ constitutional rights.”

Then that means that all the states won by Hillary now have to be recounted. By the way, why is not Stein’s heart bleeding for voters in the states Trump lost?

And after that recount, then another recount is required.

Elections as a way to choose leaders are no longer valid. They all violate voters’ constitutional rights, since someone will lose and not like it.

Ultimately these recounts will die in an appeals court.
The standing precedent is Bush v. Gore.

Of course the Left probably wants them to be struck down on that basis. Gives them a bloody shirt to rev-up the troops for the next four years.

At least in Michigan’s case, she filed on time to request a recount. Given that, I can to a certain extent why the federal judge at least said please let the recount take place on those grounds (because at least the bare bones of the law were followed in that instance).

In Pennsylvania, she failed to do the above, withdrew her petition on Saturday for an appearance today before state election officials there, did not have sufficient funds to post the bond, was already turned down by a judge in Montgomery County for a recount there due to lack of evidence. There really is not anything to suggest that she exhausted her options at the state level and that the state did anything improper on their part as to ignore the spirit/intent of their election recount laws, as to justify a federal court stepping in to tell them do the recount as in Michigan. Maybe wishful thinking on my part, but it seems she has even less of a case here than in the two other states.
