Former US Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein announced on December 3 that she was withdrawing her request for a recount of election votes in Pennsylvania.

Former US presidential candidate from the Green Party Jill Stein announced on December 3 that she was withdrawing her request for a recount of election votes in the state of Pennsylvania.

Ms. Stein made the decision after a local court ordered her to post a $1 million bond. Ms. Stein called the court's decision "outrageous."

"The Court's requirement that voters pay such a huge amount is an insurmountable barrier to the democratic process. It is yet another sign that Pennsylvania's outdated election laws are stacked against voters," the former US presidential candidate said in her statement.

It is known that Ms. Stein plans to hold a press conference in New York on December 5 at the residence of newly elected US President Donald Trump, the Trump skyscraper./.
