Pennsylvania

Legal representation for the Stein campaign filed a lawsuit Monday on behalf of 100 voters in Pennsylvania requesting a statewide recount. The case says a "primary purpose of the recounts" is to "determine if computer intrusions or hacking of electronic systems impacted the results" and includes an affidavit from a computer science professor.

NBC News reported that the deadline to request a precinct-by-precinct recount has already passed, but the lawsuit filed today requests a statewide recount.

The Keystone State's 20 electoral votes pushed Trump beyond the 270 needed to win the presidency.
The Republican Party of Pennsylvania responded, saying the petition is "totally and completely without any merit."

"It does not even allege any facts to support its wild claim that the 'discontinuity' of pre-election polls reported by the media showing that Hillary Clinton would win and the actual results could only have occurred through computer hacking originated by a foreign government," Rob Gleason, chairman of the Republican Party of Pennsylvania, said in a statement. "This desperate act by Jill Stein and those supporting her is a sad commentary on the failure of some to accept the results of the will of the people as reflected by their votes."
