Jill Stein campaign confirms it seeks recount of votes in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan
The Capital Times ^ | 11/23/2016 | LISA SPECKHARD

Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein's campaign has notified the Wisconsin Elections Commission that it intends to request a recount of the state’s presidential vote.

The notification follows days of speculation about potential manipulation of election results after Republican Donald Trump pulled off surprise wins over Democrat Hillary Clinton in several key states including Wisconsin.

Michael Haas of the Wisconsin Elections Commission told the Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism Wednesday that the Stein campaign plans to ask for a recount, although an official petition had not yet been submitted. Deadline to submit the petition is 5 p.m. Friday, Haas said.

According to Stein’s website, the campaign hopes to raise $2.5 million for recounts in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania where President-elect Trump won upset victories over Clinton, who continues to lead in the popular vote that is still being counted.

Well it sounds like Hillary has raised Jill as a kitten’s paw here.

Let it do so... if the spotlight is on this, use it to full effect.

Jill Stein is cover for Hillary.

What a libtard circus freak world we have.

Not going anywhere.

Even liberal CNN just labeled the last-ditch initiative a conspiracy theory.

Its led by surprise - a Democratic Party activist.

Don’t let it ruin your Thanksgiving.

Trump is powerful and has powerful friends.

And the HELL I’ll bring down and everyone of you will, will make the BLM riots look like a parade.

No.

Even it gets that far which I doubt, she can’t file a challenge on behalf of another candidate.

She has no standing.

I can’t say what my actions would be if the votes were changed and she was handed the election.

But it would be ugly and hell would come with me.

People here keep saying this, but I'm sure the Left can pull together a few million to try to pull this off. The only thing that will stop them trying is Hillary coming out and telling them to give it a rest, and that isn't going to happen.

>>Does she have standing?

Interesting question. Yes, she was in the election, but there is no conceivable amount of vote fraud that could change the outcome in such a way that SHE would be the winner. So, what are her damages?

Trump should be rethinking the HRC “off the hook” gesture...

Like I said, it won’t get that far. But here’s the bottom line if it did:

She would pay a lot of money for nothing for a recount that won’t change any votes outside the margins.

Stupid cow.
