Jill Stein files petition in Pennsylvania court for recount
In the voter-initiated recount effort in Pennsylvania, the Green Party’s Jill Stein said in a tweet that voters have filed recount petitions in 100 out of over 9,100 precincts.
The petition cites a University of Michigan computer science professor named Alex Halderman on the vulnerability of voting systems, as well as the alleged foreign government hacking of the DNC, reports of the hacking of election systems in Illinois and Arizona, and a discrepancy between polls taken before the election and the “result as reported by the media.”
Halderman does not in fact believe that the election was hacked -- he thinks the polls were wrong. Nonetheless, the only way to know whether hacking changed the election results is to “examine the available physical evidence -- paper ballots and voting equipment in critical states like Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania,” he argued in a post on Medium
Anyone care to describe the statistical accuracy of 100 out of 9,100 precincts?
The person on whose expertise this goose chase rests clearly believes the polls were simply wrong.
