The Green Party is dropping its court case requesting a statewide recount of the election results in Pennsylvania.
The Associated Press reported on Saturday that the party said it could not come up with a $1 million bond payment required by Monday, when a hearing was scheduled.
A court order filed Saturday called the matter "closed" after it said that petitioners had filed to withdraw the case. The Green Party had questioned whether voting machines had been hacked or manipulated.
Pennsylvania was among three traditionally blue states, along with Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, where Stein had filed for recounts. President-elect Donald Trump won with a slim margin over Hillary Clinton in each of the states.
