Well, that would seem to make it more difficult. Good research!

Pretty slick of Podesta and company to use Stein as the tool.

There WAS unprecedented turnout.

Same here for northern Michigan. I drove/helped some elderly to vote so I was able to visit many voting places. All said they were record-setting overwhelmed, had voters showing up who had not voted in the last 2-4 elections, etc.

This place is carrying heaven. The NRA got these folk out to vote and they were PO'd to come in their camo.

Hunting season here is so popular that many businesses just close for opening week. It is rated as highly as Christmas in healthcare if you want a week off work.

No one in northern Michigan was going to let Hillary take their rifles.

“She is a non factor and this will go nowhere.”

Does Stein even have standing to request a recount considering her low percentage of votes? IIRC, in some states a recount can only be requested by a candidate whose percentage is so close to the winner’s percentage that a recount could possibly change the outcome. No recount is going to make Stein the winner. (Don’t know if this is true any more. It’s been 30 years since I worked elections.)

I want all the Illegal Invader Votes invalidated and those who Voted arrested, charged, put on Trial, sent to Prison and deported after they serve their time.

It’s OK, I’ll wait...

What ARE the chances of Clinton winning the election, after all? I want to know before the Thanksgiving holidays are ruined.

She is not even close to winning and that’s why this is BS.

All the more reason to keep fighting for NC Gov race, where a legit recount had been filed, and exposing all the vote fraud there. Then reverting to birth binary bathrooms everywhere!

Michigan law states a margin of 2000 votes or less to permit a recount. So that avenue is lost.

Stein has no standing nor can she prove to a judge in pre-trial that she has incurred injury for that judge to recommend to proceed with such a case. This for every state.

For what. No recount could help her. Request won’t be honored.

Gee, Jill. Why the sudden interest in states that would help Clinton win and not you?

What are the chances a proxy for the Clinton Foundation funds these “investigations?”

Well, Michigan is done with the "recount" - they just certified their results. Like Gore's Florida all over again....

I doubt they get a single recount but it gives them all something to be re-disappointed about and gives them new incentive to burn some more liberal cities....

I'd say the Greens here have about the same chances at overturning a presidential election as the Birthers did 8 years ago.

She'd have to overturn the results in three states. At best, they might be able to find 11,000 votes in Michigan from the 87,000 undervotes. Wisconsin? Nope. Pennsylvania? Not a chance. Enjoy your turkey. This ain't going to go anywhere.
