Jill Stein, the Green Party's 2016 Presidential candidate, in late November asked a federal court to ban the use of The Express Vote XL voting system, was used in November's election in Philadelphia and Northampton County. Cumberland County, which also bought this system, plans to roll it out next year. Judge Paul S Diamond has ordered the state to answer her latest demands by Thursday.
Stein, along with paper ballot purists, maintains the Express Vote XL fails to provide voter verifiable paper ballots and thus violates a settlement agreement with Pennsylvania. Under that deal, the state ordered all counties to have new voting systems with voter verifiable paper ballots in time for the 2020 election.
I never understood why the state settled Stein's frivolous suit. Judge Diamond, in a 2018 Order, had already dismissed most of her case. It was on life support.
Judge Diamond has already pointed out that there is "no authority recognizing a right to have one’s vote verified through any procedure," let alone paper ballots. He also observes that Stein's the fear of vote tampering in “borders on the irrational.”
This is hardly the language a judge uses if he finds an argument persuasive.
In addition, Stein has an extensive history of 20 frivolous election lawsuits in the federal system.

The word around the political circles is "THE STATE DID NOT CERTIFY NORTHAMPTON COUNTY"S ELECTION". Check it out Bernie. What are they hiding? This might be bigger than we are being made aware of???????
Surprised to hear a judge stating citizens have no right to expect their vote will be verified. Kinda opens the door to successful election fraud, doesn’t it?
Stein is the reason the Green Party is tanking. She needs to just drop out of politics. She is no good.
Has anyone redd the FISA report in it's entirety yet. Goggle won't let me download all at once. This seems to be linked to the same party that ruled for the XL purchase from the imaginary Russian bots?
On my way to Hershey PA with a couple of charterd buses to go see the greatest POTUS ever.
On your way to Hershey? Wearing a Russian hat? Trump supporters are among the biggest pieces of shit this country has right now. With all those mutants in one confined arena make sure your wife doesn't bend over.

No report on Hershey? The place looked like it was rocking. Of course the fact checkers must be working overtime.
