On November 26, Jill Stein, the 2016 Green Party presidential candidate, asked a U.S. District Court in Philadelphia to re-open her settlement with the state over vote-counting machines. A year ago she and the state had settled her lawsuit, and the state promised to use only vote-counting machines with a paper trail. Stein v Boockvar, e.d., 2:16cv-6287.

Despite the settlement, Philadelphia County still plans to use ES&S machines, which do not actually create a paper trail. The state says the ES&S system is secure. Here is Stein’s brief. The judge has asked the state to respond.
