3. PA recount still happening. MSM has lied.

The PA recount is still on. Trump and his Repub cronies may have stopped the request for a statewide recount by jacking the cost of filing beyond what Stein could pay by the deadline, but the recount continues, precinct by precinct. All she needs to do is reduce Trump's slim lead of 0.8% to 0.5% and that would trigger an automatic recount of the whole state.

Anybody here from PA? Notarized recount petitions from only 3 voters per precinct is all it takes to initiate a recount for each precinct. If any of you could volunteer to do that in your precinct, we would all be grateful. Hurry, democracy needs you!

Bernie is the help we need, so why be ageistic? Bernie is young at heart and quite energetic... InAbLuEsTaTe Dec 2016 #11
Why be ageistic? Because the man's heart will be about 80yrs old in 2020. I call that realistic. politicaljunkie41910 Dec 2016 #34
