Date Filed Document Text
April 29, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 197 MEMORANDUM, IN MOVING TO ENFORCE THE AGREEMENT SETTLING HER 2016 LAWSUIT, FAILED PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE JILL STEIN ASKS ME TO BAR THE USE OF ALMOST 4,000 VOTING MACHINES, THUS MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR PHILADELPHIA TO PARTICIPATE IN THE 2020 PRESIDENT IAL ELECTION. THIS IS OF A PIECE WITH THE 2016 ACTION ITSELF: STEIN'S ELEVENTH-HOUR VOTING MACHINE "HACKING" ALLEGATIONS AND REQUEST FOR A RECOUNT THAT WOULD HAVE DISENFRANCHISED SOME SIX MILLION PENNSYLVANIA VOTERS IN BOTH INSTANCES, DR. STEIN PUBLICLY ANNOUNCED THAT SHE SEEKS TO PROMOTE ELECTION INTEGRITY. YET THE COMMONWEALTH SUGGESTS SHE SEEKS TO PROMOTE ONLY HERSELF. PENNSYLVANIA'S COMPUTER EXPERT TESTIFIED CREDIBLY IN 2016 THAT STEIN'S ALLEGATIONS "ARE APPROX IMATELY AS LIKELY AS THE FACT THAT ANDROIDS FROM OUTER SPACE ARE LIVING AMONGST US AND PASSING AS HUMANS (12/6/16 HR'G TR. 63:23-64:9.) HER ALLEGATIONS NOW THAT THE CHALLENGED VOTING MACHINES ARE UNRELIABLE AND THUS VIOLATE THE SETTLEMENT AGREEM ENT ARE AS BASELESS AND IRRATIONAL I WILL DENY HER MOTION......THE COMMONWEALTH AND CITY HAVE EXPANDED CONSIDERABLE RESOURCES TO DEMONSTRATE THAT DR. STEIN HAS BASED HER MOTION ON ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. THERE IS NO CREDIBLE EVIDENCE EVEN SUGGESTING THAT THE EAC AND PENNSYLVANIA HAVE CERTIFIED MACHINES THAT CAN BE "HACKED." YET DR. HALDERMAN'S DAFT THEORIES, PROMOTED BY DR. STEIN, WILL UNDOUBTEDLY SHAKE THE BELIEF OF SOME IN THEIR GOVERNMENT BECAUSE STEIN HAS CONVINCED THEM THAT VOTIN G INTEGRITY IS AT RISK IN PENNSYLVANIA. THAT IS CERTAINLY THE MOST UNFORTUNATE CONSEQUENCE OF STEIN'S POINTLESS MOTION. BECAUSE THERE IS NO BASIS IN FACT OR LAW TO ORDER THE RELIEF STEIN SEEKS, I WILL DENY HER MOTION. AN APPROPRIATE ORDER FOLLOWS. SIGNED BY HONORABLE PAUL S. DIAMOND ON 4/29/2020. 4/29/2020 ENTERED AND COPIES E-MAILED.(rt)
December 12, 2016 Opinion or Order Filing 56 MEMORANDUM AND ORDER THAT PLAINTIFFS' MOTION FOR A PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION (DOC.
