It looks like Jill Stein and her recount allies have seen the writing on the wall. The fact that they’re dropping recount efforts in Pennsylvania is a sign that their whole house of cards is crumbling.
CBS in Pittsburgh reports:
Green Party Drops Statewide Pennsylvania Recount
Green Party-backed voters dropped a court case Saturday night that had sought to force a statewide recount of Pennsylvania’s Nov. 8 presidential election, won by Republican Donald Trump, in what Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein had framed as an effort to explore whether voting machines and systems had been hacked and the election result manipulated.
The decision came two days before a court hearing was scheduled in the case. Saturday’s court filing to withdraw the case said the Green Party-backed voters who filed the case “are regular citizens of ordinary means” and cannot afford the $1 million bond ordered by the court by 5 p.m. Monday. However, Green Party-backed efforts to force recounts and analyze election software in scattered precincts were continuing…
A statement from the Pennsylvania GOP sent Saturday night read, in part:
“The filing of a discontinuance of the Election Contest by Jill Stein’s petitioners tonight is a recognition that their Election Contest was completely without merit, and meant solely for purposes to delay the Electoral College vote in Pennsylvania for President-Elect Trump…Candidate Jill Stein’s allegations created the false allusion that some unidentified foreign government hacked our state’s voting systems when absolutely no such proof existed. We believe that she always knew that she had no such proof.”
This guy asks a very good question:
No Pennsylvania recount; Green Party could not afford the $1M bond. Where's all the Dem donor $$$?https://t.co/kHoUl5p1pf pic.twitter.com/HIOWFQDEMb
