(9,114 posts)The Stein campaign sent a recount volunteer e-mail with the petition attached as an Adobe PDF. The Allegheny County Manager of Balloting and Returns accepted it, timestamped it, and said I would be contacted about the recount. There was no statement from him that the deadline was passed. He didn't reject the petition.

(4,490 posts)Following the link to the Philadelphia news that the Washington Examiner is getting its news from, it's a complicated process. Basically, it sounds like Pennsylvania has a higher standard of evidence needed to initiate a recount. Since fraud can't be proven at this point, she has to organize a voter initiated process.
So instead, Stein is promoting an especially complicated voter-initiated recount effort that involves three voters in every precinct or election district in Pennsylvania submitting a notarized affidavit to the clerk in their individual election districts.

That's the specific process where the deadline was supposedly missed in (some?) precints. So basically, Jill has taken the next step of filing a lawsuit.
