Dec 2016

I found this article from some time back, about how recounts happen in PA. If I am reading it well, it seems PA is particularly hard to recount for multiple reasons. I think the article suggests that due to the difficulties in PA that made a recount almost impossible to launch, the best course may have been deemed to go to court. What was going on behind the scenes, whether it was indecision, not enough time to prepare given other recount priorities, etc., I don't know.

Here's the link:
