Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein on Monday morning filed a lawsuit in a Pennsylvania federal court seeking a statewide recount of the presidential race.
The move came after Stein withdrew on Saturday night the party's recount request that was in state court.
"The Pennsylvania election system is a national disgrace. Voters are forced to use vulnerable, hackable, antiquated technology banned in other states, then rely on the kindness of machines. There is no paper trail. Voting machines are electoral black sites: no one permits voters or candidates to examine them," begins the suit filed in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
Many — including the Hillary Clinton campaign — expect the Green Party's recount efforts in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin not to change any of the outcomes. Donald Trump's victory wouldn't change unless all of those those states moved to Clinton after the recount efforts.
