"Did Jill Stein Get the 27,000 Affidavits Needed for a Pennsylvania Recount?
by BREITBART NEWS, 28 Nov 2016
HARRISBURG, Pa., Nov. 28 (UPI) — Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein officially filed for an election recount in Pennsylvania on Monday, but she needs to do a lot more to actually get elections officials to start reviewing votes — and she doesn’t have much time to do it.
Stein filed a request with the Pennsylvania Bureau of Commissions, Elections and Legislation on Monday, meeting the deadline for a recount. Last week, her campaign successfully filed for similar efforts in Wisconsin, and this week she will file for a recount in Michigan, where the deadline is Wednesday.
Stein is asking for the recount in those three states to ensure election integrity, amid theories that voting machines could have been tampered with. Donald Trump won all three states over Hillary Clinton by slim margins, and a reversal of the results would give Clinton enough electoral votes to win the presidency.
But Stein’s fight in the Keystone State will be a very difficult one.
In order to actually trigger a recount statewide, which is the goal, Stein needs to find nearly 30,000 individual voters and have them submit an affidavit requesting the recount — that’s three voters for all 9,163 precincts in the state. If she does find 27,000-plus voters to do that, they must file their affidavits by the end of business Monday.
“We need volunteers to observe #Recount2016 and voters to fill out affidavits to initiate the Pennsylvania recount,” Stein tweeted on Monday afternoon.
If those requirements are not satisfied, there will be no recount in Pennsylvania — at least not without a lawsuit."
Oh, darn!
Trump won PA by 68,000 votes. I know of no recount in history that has found that many miscounted votes. Not even close.
BTW, is it just me, or is the Green Party more or less a more politically correct branding for the CPUSA?
