JUST IN: Jill Stein campaign drops recount effort in Pa.

Former Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein discontinued her statewide recount effort in Pennsylvania Saturday afternoon after a Commonwealth Court judge mandated the campaign post a $1 million bond to press on with its challenge.

In court documents filed shortly before 5 p.m., an attorney for the Stein campaign wrote, "Petitioners are regular citizens of ordinary means. They cannot afford to post the $1,000,000 bond required by the Court."

The abrupt halt to the campaign's effort comes less than one week after Stein filed a recount petition in Commonwealth Court, contending the Nov. 8 election was "illegal" and the results inaccurate. Citing research from computer scientists suggesting possible irregularities with electronic voting machines, Stein had hoped a recount in Pennsylvania - as well as Wisconsin and Michigan - could overturn the results in three key swing states that sealed President-elect Donald Trump's win.

So, where are the $9 millions going, and why is she asking for $10.5M? That's a lot of
attorney fees.

1057 Jill Stein is a scam. No attorney fees come to this amount unless you're already into litigation. She's looking to keep the 💰 for herself. Bernie got his beach house and spiffy new red sports car and she wanted something for her trouble. FEC complaints have been filed against Stein and her fundraising outfit which may be another reason for the abrupt halt. Any of her previous voters should now be suspicious of her intentions. She shredded her political future and sold out those who believed in her for the big splashy prize. What a putz. 🙄😏
