Dec 12 – A U.S. judge in Pennsylvania on Monday rejected Green Party candidate Jill Stein’s request for a recount of the state’s ballots in last month’s presidential election and an examination of voting machines for evidence of hacking.

The Judge ruled there was no evidence to justify the recount, and would not jeopardize the Electoral vote certification deadline occurring tomorrow.
In a 31-page opinion, U.S. District Judge Paul Diamond in Philadelphia said there was no evidence suggesting hacking had occurred. He also emphasized that the deadline to certify the state’s electoral votes is Tuesday, making it impossible to hold a recount in time.
Diamond said “suspicion of a ‘hacked’ Pennsylvania election borders on the irrational.”

The only thing the Wisconsin recount has done is to increase the taxpayers bill for the frivolous recount.
As of Monday morning, the Wisconsin recount was 95 percent complete and showed Trump with a increase of 628 votes, Clinton with an increase of 653 votes and Stein with an increase of 68 votes.
Meanwhile, two Democrat faithless “Rogue” Electors in Colorado had their hopes dashed challenging a Colorado law requiring them to vote for their States Democratic winner, Hillary Clinton.
Judge says electors must vote for statewide winner
DENVER —A federal judge dealt a severe setback Monday to a long-shot plan to deny Donald Trump the presidency through the Electoral College, refusing to suspend a Colorado law requiring the state’s nine electors to vote for the presidential candidate who won the state in November.
U.S. District Judge Wiley Daniel denied a request by two Colorado electors who contended that the law binding their vote to Colorado vote winner Hillary Clinton violated their First Amendment rights and the intents of the Constitution’s framers. The electors had sought the right to vote for someone other than Clinton in order to unite behind a consensus Republican other than Trump when the Electoral College convenes on Dec. 19.

The Judge didn’t mince words about his feeling that these electors were playing fast and loose with the Electoral College system trying to circumvent the Colorado Voters will.
“Part of me thinks this is really a political stunt to prevent Donald Trump from becoming president,” said Daniel, who was nominated to the bench by Bill Clinton in 1995.

Only days ago organizers from the Rogue Elector movement briefed the Clinton Camp on their efforts as Clinton and Stein pushed forward on their separate front to recount WI, PA, and MI; or at least achieve their true goal which was to delay certification and therefore miss elector deadlines on Dec. 19th nullifying as many as 48 total elector votes in the three states where recounts were requested. The decision by Federal Judge Daniel has ramifications for the Nationwide effort to encourage, harass, and even threaten Electors to go Rogue and change their votes from Trump, and even from Clinton to another GOP candidate to prevent Trump from winning the Presidency.
An attorney for Trump filed legal papers Monday arguing a suspension of Colorado’s law could have sweeping consequences. “This is very serious stuff,” attorney Christopher Murray, who also represented the Colorado Republican Party, said in court. “If you vote as a free agent in the electoral college, you’re taking Colorado voters’ voices away.”
If the Colorado electors had been successful, it could have signaled that similar laws in more than two dozen other states could also be overturned, freeing a large number of electors to defect from Trump. Jason Wesoky, who represents the two electors, said he may seek an emergency appeal to the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals — the only chance his clients would have of blocking the Colorado law before they have to cast their votes.

This should lay to rest any chance of success for this Election to be stolen by Stein/Clinton “by Hook, or by Crook”, as the Electoral College meets on Dec. 19th to cast, and then forward Electors Votes to Congress.
Let’s hope that they drop any further recount delay tactics with appeals, and that their campaign for flipping Electors into Rogue and faithless scoundrels; fails just as miserably.
We must not forget the stain Clinton/Stein and the Democrat Party with their Alt-Left minions have left on our Democracy with their desperate efforts to subvert our electoral process. There shall be Political repercussions for their reckless disregard of the voters will.
