Green Party Taking Bid for Election Recount to Federal Court
Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein is taking her bid for a statewide recount of Pennsylvania’s Nov. 8 presidential election to federal court.
A lawyer in the recount case said “make no mistake — the Stein campaign will continue to fight for a statewide recount.”
After announcing they were dropping the case in state court, lawyer Jonathan Abady said in a statement Saturday night they will seek an emergency federal court order Monday.
