Ha-Ha! Stein Misses PA Recount Deadline
2016-11-29
God damn, these people are freaking STOOPID! Missed it by that much!
Jill Stein has everything she needs to launch a presidential recount. She's got the cash, the grassroots fervor and the spotlight of an adoring media. But there's one thing she needs to overturn Trump's victory: a calendar.

Stein missed Pennsylvania's deadline to file for a voter-initiated recount. That blown deadline is a huge blow for Democrats who have pinned their hopes on recounts in the Keystone State, Michigan and Wisconsin.

"According to Wanda Murren, spokeswoman for the Pennsylvania Department of State," the Philadelphia Inquirer reported Monday, "the deadline for a voter-initiated recount was Monday, Nov. 21."

#25  And the Orange Pants Suit on Hillary in the picture is so becoming to her. The green coat on the dummy was a nice touch.

#22  SPoD got Step #2....snivel and whine.

#21  I personally believe the Dems set up Stein and the Libertarian guy to siphon votes from Trump.

Unfortunately, the big stink over how the DNC jobbed Bernie sent a lot of voters to Stein and the Libertarians and away from Clinton. So the dog bit the hand that fed it.

Trump won Pennsylvania in pretty good fashion so I doubt the recount will mount to much. It will be used to snivel and whine for the next four years about Trump not being legitimate because of the popular vote. Of course, I would think the Secretary of States in those three states could tell a person who got less than 2% of the vote to go pound sand.

#20  Stein is not only fundraising for her party but laundering her reputation to erase any claims she lost the election for the Democrats, no she put up a fight against Trump!.

#19  Step 2 is Blather and Posture.

#17  Deadlines are so patriarchal and Eurocentric. And mathy.

Another victim of Common Core.

#16  She will have no trouble finding a judge in PeeAye who will issue a ruling that the law is whatever the judge says it is, nothing less, nothing more. Wanna bet who the judge sides with? Hint - not the people of PeeAye.

#15  Meanwhile, the Clinton's are slipping away, as planned.

#14  Deadlines are so patriarchal and Eurocentric. And mathy.

She would be able to get one ten years from now if she wanted, in a society ruled by social justice.

#12  #10 and #11 My Common Core math indicates yawl are suffering from a lack of faith. I see Loose-Loose-Loose for the Dims. This is a good for Trump. He got all mushy about prosecuting the Clinton Mafia and in return they try to spring a trap on him. It will teach Trump about getting all mushy over rattle-snakes, again. Your Welcome.

#11  Furthermore, I'm of the opinion that George pushed the recount issue through Stein so as not to have the Dems call for the recount themselves. Stein get her money and camera time, the Dems get their recount, George gets his deeper distrust of the election system. Win-win-win.

#10  The Nation is at stake...petty bullshit squabbles about "Common Core" just detract from what is at stake. Anyone reviewing a Hillary Clinton article and finding themselves to mention "Common Core" should ask themselves if they have their priorities straight.

Sorry, but we're just a little *busy* here trying to save the United States. Try us again when we've made some significant progress.

#9  They're so stupid at math, when they gave ballots to illegals, had the dead vote and had voting machines switch votes, they still lost the election. Warning, these are the same people who created Common Core, too.

#8  They are the *enemy*. Some we must merely "tolerate".

But the most extreme of them must be outted. Doing so allows us to watch the reactions of others...and with those reactions the blind followers of the enemy can be spotted and documented as well. When we have the advantage, we have to press it.

#7  Real shame she missed the deadline. Now what is she going to do with all that extra money she collected???

George will probably want his money back.

#6  Shes supposedly now filing a lawsuit in PA claiming the election was, and I quote, "Illegal".

These people have gone insane. No matter how you feel about Trump, you have to thank him for doing away with any doubts that the progressives and leftists are completely against the values this country was founded upon.

#5  I' pretty sure She's got the cash was the whole point of the exercise.

#4  The re-count was showing more districts going red, and more trump voters over-all.

Wait -- where is the recount showing this, newc?

#3  Yep. Just a scam.

#2  It is a face saving ploy. The re-count was showing more districts going red, and more trump voters over-all. Please continue if you like.
