(3,023 posts)The lead is about 47,000 now. Would have to bring that down to about 30,450 to trigger an automatic recount.

(1,237 posts)Saturdays court filing to withdraw the case said the Green Party-backed voters who filed the case are regular citizens of ordinary means and cannot afford the $1 million bond ordered by the court by 5 p.m. Monday.
Why wouldn't she have another donation drive over the weekend?

Per Palmer Report -
No, the Pennsylvania recount effort isnt over. Yes, the mainstream media is lying to you.
Since the recount effort in three states got underway last week, the major media have afforded it virtually no coverage. Even as the Wisconsin recount enters its third day and numerous inconsistencies are being documented, the mainstream media has remained silent. After the Michigan elections board approved the recount go-ahead, nary a peep. Now the major media outlets are finally talking about the Pennsylvania recount effort, but only to report that its now over which is not the case.
What actually happened today is that in a desperate last ditch attempt at preventing the recount, the State of Pennsylvania suddenly invented a million dollar bond that third party candidate Jill Stein would have needed to immediately pay for.
