Yesterday, the spokesman for the Secretary of the Commonwealth of PA announced that the deadline for a voter initiated recount of the presidential election passed over a week ago. The effort by Jill Stein and joined by Hillary Clinton to get such a recount is too late. It's important to keep in mind that the state government in Pennsylvania is controlled by the Democrats, so this is not some partisan attempt to thwart Stein and Clinton; rather, it is just the enforcement of the clear rules in the Pennsylvania election laws.
In order to get a recount in Pennsylvania now, Stein and/or Clinton will need to bring a suit in Superior Court in Dauphin County (where the state capital is located) and show proof that the election was flawed in some way. Since no one has yet been able to produce any evidence that the election was hacked or that there was any sort of insidious plot to steal the election, that suit cannot succeed. In fact, Stein has already admitted that she has no proof at all that anything wrong happened in the election.
There is not going to be any recount in PA. Keep in mind that absent such a recount, there is no possibility of changing the Trump election. Even were there a recount in Wisconsin and Michigan, and even were the results to flip which is highly unlikely, Trump still has 280 electoral votes and that is ten more than needed.
Stein and Clinton are wasting their time and the time of the election officials in these states. At some point, they need to be adults and drop this whole thing.
