Judge says Stein "inexcusably" waited till the last minute on PA recount filing.

44. Consider

that the election outcome was a shock and unexpected. Then consider how complex these filings were. Then consider the size of Stein's staff and how much had to be coordinated. Maybe some compassion is due. I'm not sure, not being on the inside of anyone's campaign. And I'm not a Stein supporter. I've been a strong Clinton supporter for a long time. But when I read details of 500 page filings, public appearances, paid attention to the web site, and on and on, I wondered how a relatively small and not-all-that-professional party managed to do it.

I really wish some of the scathing criticism would be tempered by these matters.

I will say that early on, I loved watching the dollars contributed to Stein add up so fast, each increase proof to me that I had company regarding this terrible outcome, and that we wanted to stand up.
