Jill Stein needs immediate volunteers in Pennsylvania to gather recount affidavit signaturesEven as officials in Wisconsin and Michigan have stated that theyre preparing for the recounts that have been put in motion by third party candidate Jill Stein, which could end up shifting the presidency from Donald Trump to Hillary Clinton in the process, Stein is now working to make a Pennsylvania recount happen. She has the funding, but due to state law, she needs the signatures of at least three voters in every precinct. As such shes asking for immediate volunteers to drive across Pennsylvania and find three locals willing to sign affidavits in each precinct.
This matter is considered crucial in that, unlike the other two states, Pennsylvania has put this step in place in an attempt to make it more difficult to trigger a recount. Even as Jill Stein is asking Pennsylvania residents to commit on her website to signing such an affidavit, shes also actively seeking people who are willing to drive around in the states rural areas in order to get the signatures.
Considering how controversial the 2016 election results have proven to be, and the sheer number of Americans who believe the results werent legitimate, there should easily be far more than three people in each Pennsylvania precinct who want a recount. The only difficulty comes down to the logistics of getting to them in time, as the recount effort in Pennsylvania aims to move forward as quickly as possible.

Need immediate volunteers 2 drive across Pennsylvania and find 3 locals willing to sign affidavi (Original Post)

You need three voters per precinct to travel to a notary public, but not every county is included in the recount. One damn roadblock after another.
In Pennsylvania, a statewide recount can occur if at least three voters per precinct or election district submit affadavits. There were some 9,175 election districts in Pennsylvania as of June, 2015, according to Citizens for Election Integrity (CEI), a group which advocates for accuracy in elections. In her video, Stein makes a plea for volunteers from each district to file these affadavits, and she walks through the steps necessary to file the paperwork. Theres downloading the affadavit from her website, and filling it out -- did you vote on an optical scanner or electronic touchscreen, she asks, explaining the difference between the two machines.
After all of this, she warns the volunteer voters not to sign their affadavits until theyre in the presence of a notary public. And afterwards, theyll have to submit their affadavits to the clerk in their individual election districts.

Update * I want to update everyone. There has been large groups working on this for 3 or 4 days. People driving to others' homes to get them to the notaries. Big meetings over the weekend took place in bigger cities with notaries on hand.
Its a shame they didnt put the information right on the fundraising page at the beginning for smaller towns to know though.only one person per precinct has to actually go to the clerk's office as long as they have the other 2 person's notarized affidavits in hand.
Pantsuit nation and Bros for Hillary have known about the deadline and have been working feverishly to get a lot done. Some counties arent eligible,but most are. The actual deadline was the 20th,but they are in court to get it done. Keep your fingers crossed.

(1,893 posts)4. Yes but I find it unlikely a judge is going to rule 'vote fraud probably occurred,
The filing is just the first step; a state judge has to rule that the evidence in the file shows that fraud likely occurred
