Jill Stein has switched to a county by county strategy in PA to try and force a statewide recount. Philadelphia has already begun its own recount after Trumps lead was reduced by TWENTY THOUSAND VOTES already and it isn’t done yet. The Media is misrepresenting facts about the recount, when they bother to mention it at all.

Now that voluntary vote total revisions from various Pennsylvania precincts and counties have reduced Donald Trump’s lead to around just 0.8% from its original 1.2%, Jill Stein is changing her strategy. Pennsylvania state law requires an automatic statewide recount if the winning margin is 0.5% or less. And so Stein is now pursuing
county level recounts in the hope that the corrected numbers will indeed shrink Trump’s lead below the threshold.
How do we know this? We have to read closely. For instance, buried in the seventh paragraph of an eight paragraph article in the Philadelphia Inquirer newspaper whose headline falsely claims “Stein drops recount effort,” we find the actual story: “Stein’s campaign intends to continue its county-by-county recount effort in Pennsylvania, said attorney Larry Otter. That requires efforts in individual precincts
Stein only has to close the gap by around 20,000 votes around the state to make the statewide automatic recount happen. In other words the Pennsylvania statewide recount effort is still just getting underway. Days after Wisconsin jacked up the price of its own recount by nearly three million extra dollars, in a rather blatant effort at forcing Stein to use up all her raised money, Pennsylvania decided to arbitrarily demand that Stein cough up an immediate $1 million bond. That was also rather clearly a stunt aimed at bankrupting her. So she instead withdrew her current court petition in favor of the new strategy.
Philadelphia has already begun a voluntary recount without Stein even having to ask.
One day after Palmer Report and other news outlets reported that a major change to the official voting totals out of Philadelphia had reduced the size of Donald Trump’s lead in Pennsylvania by more than twenty thousand votes, Philadelphia announced today that it’s launching an immediate and voluntary recount to determine if even more votes had been originally miscounted or excluded. Even as Jill Stein continues her legal battle to try to force the entire state of Pennsylvania to perform a recount, Philadelphia isn’t waiting around to find out whether a recount will be legally required
Pennsylvania’s original vote totals had Donald Trump winning the state by just over seventy thousand votes. But the sudden revisions out of Philadelphia have now reduced the size of his overall lead to fewer than fifty thousand votes. The Philadelphia recount could shift these totals even further. The wildly shifting numbers in the state also give legal fuel to Jill Stein’a case for a statewide recount, both because the shifts suggest vote counting irregularities, and because the winning margin in the state is now even smaller.
