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.”
To keep their hopes alive, Stein has mounted a legal challenge in an attempt to force a recount. While the chances of litigation are uncertain, the vote tally is clear. Trump beat Clinton in Pennsylvania, a feat not accomplished by a Republican since Ronald Reagan in 1984.
While it wasn’t a landslide, it wasn’t close either. Trump carried the state with 70,000 votes, a significant margin that will be hard to overcome.
And even if Stein manages a recount in Pennsylvania, nothing’s guaranteed. Of the thousands of statewide races in the last 15 years, only 27 have been decided by recounts and only three challengers have pulled off an upset.

Stop the nonsense. It’s hurting the Democratic Party being seen as divisive and argumentative sore losers.
Dems like their Communist forbears don’t care for the will of the people its the revolution that matters.
Deadline isn’t the only thing that Jill Stein is missing….
Jill stien looks very bored with her life. She can come wash my dishes or do my laundry instead of wasting her time. She collected 7 million dollars and now they won’t recount I guess she’ll just keep the money. She already announced that she’s not sure if ALL the money will go to recounting so she needs more money. Attention seeker.
