Jill Stein has canceled her request for a recount in PA.

1. Wonder if she got a better offer. nt

2. Not completely

Philadelphia is rechecking their numbers. If more votes appear for Hillary and the difference is .5% then you will get an automatic recount. In addition, assuming the results in Michigan and Wisconsin are overturned and enough Trump electors defect that could get him under 270.

3. What is the 0.5% in ev?

5. Just a rough estimate

The lead is about 47,000 now. Would have to bring that down to about 30,450 to trigger an automatic recount.

4. What a disappointment.

A lot of Pennsylvanians put themselves through a lot of anguish to get the recount. This sux.

6. It is like dying all over again.

7. Stein has some explaining to do.

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.

Why wouldn't she have another donation drive over the weekend?

Dig deep!!

10. I believe the statewide recount was a longshot. She will continue on with the precinct by precinct

recount.

Per Palmer Report -

No, the Pennsylvania recount effort isn’t “over.” Yes, the mainstream media is lying to you.

Since the recount effort in three states got underway last week, the major media have afforded it virtually no coverage. Even as the Wisconsin recount enters its third day and numerous inconsistencies are being documented, the mainstream media has remained silent. After the Michigan elections board approved the recount go-ahead, nary a peep. Now the major media outlets are finally talking about the Pennsylvania recount effort, but only to report that it’s now “over” – which is not the case.

What actually happened today is that in a desperate last ditch attempt at preventing the recount, the State of Pennsylvania suddenly invented a million dollar bond that third party candidate Jill Stein would have needed to immediately pay for.

11. That does not seem unreasonable.

The optics aren't the greatest and it might slow donations but if they're actually focused on reversing the results in 3 states it makes sense to take a targeted approach. They only have a two-week window and this judge is basically telegraphing his ruling.
