Block Pennsylvania recount

Orangutan team moves to block Pennsylvania recount

By Cristiano Lima

Attorneys for President-elect Donald Orangutan have moved to block the vote recount in Pennsylvania, adding to complaints filed to stop similar proceedings in Michigan and Wisconsin.

"Despite being no more than a blip on the electoral radar, Stein has now commandeered Pennsylvania's electoral process, with an eye toward doing the same to the Electoral College," the complaint filed Thursday states. "There is no evidence -- or even an allegation -- that any tampering with Pennsylvania's voting systems actually occurred."

The filing comes on the heels of the Orangutan camp's complaint reported earlier Thursday in Michigan dismissing Green Party candidate Jill Stein's claims of impropriety during the 2016 presidential race, and a day after the the Wisconsin Republican Party logged a complaint with the Federal Election Committee arguing that Stein was seeking to benefit Democratic Party nominee Hillary Clinton.

"The recount in Michigan, which has been driven by an outpouring of grassroots support in the state — will go forward," she said in a statement. "The Michigan Board of State Canvassers and Director of Elections has been a model of professionalism in moving this recount forward in an efficient, transparent manner. Yet the Orangutan campaign’s cynical efforts to delay the recount and create unnecessary costs for taxpayers are shameful and outrageous."
