The DOJ is not going to conduct a vote audit based on your phoned-in outrage
Washington Post ^ | 11/22/16 | Matt Zapotosky

For supporters of Hillary Clinton, the post circulating on Facebook and Reddit offers hope. The Justice Department, it claims, is “tallying calls” from people who want an audit of the 2016 election. And given the small margins that Donald Trump won by in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, a shift of about 55,000 votes is all that would be needed to change the outcome.

The problem is, it’s bogus. The Justice Department doesn’t count up calls to determine whether it should launch an investigation. And they will not initiate a national audit — or force particular states to recount their results — based on the volume of outrage they receive from voters.

Actress Debra Messing shared the post suggesting that the Justice Department was “tallying calls of those who support auditing the vote.”

Fake actress.

We’re talking the OBAMA DOJ here.
I would not put anything past them.

Liberal Fake News.

My favorite was the Reddit Donald crowd telling libs they could phone in their votes on Election Day.

Trump won PA by more than 60,000 votes and Wisconsin by 30,000 and Michigan by 13,000.

Their math does not add up.

This was attempted before. Remember Al Gore? The Supreme Court’s decision? If Hillary truly thinks she has a chance to slide on all her offenses, she will not support let alone initiate such an endeavor. She has settled into being who she now is . . . an old (looking) granny.

Probably concerned that the only fraud discovered will be democrat fraud.

They’re claiming vote switching. 60+30+13=103. Divide by 2 is around 55,000.

The way it works is if Clinton somehow gains 30001 votes in Pennsylvania wrongly applied that will reduce Trump’s total by 30001 and increase Clinton’s total by 30001 and thereby give her a one vote victory.

the DOJ can’t do anything without Hillary going to court in each state and then she would have to pay the cost if she won in court

On the other hand, Lynch could likely find anything she is told to find.

Liberals are so desperate they want the feds to order states to do a recount?

Good luck with it.

Hillary would have to pay the cost of a recount if she lost.

Which is likely to happen which is why a losing candidate typically does not demand a recount in case where its not within the margin of error.

In none of the 3 states was Trump’s lead within a few hundred votes.

Hillary’s lawyers have no doubt told her its a waste of time.

Her moonbat base doesn’t seem to be getting the message.

“Probably concerned that the only fraud discovered will be democrat fraud.”

Good point - do they REALLY want the feds to pry into Philadelphia voter fraud?

I can’t see them getting near that...way too much to lose.

She’s real enough. She’s just crazy. Way over to the right side of the crazy / hot scale.

Leftists are sick, sick people. I’m not saying that as a joke. In times past, they would have been locked up.

I hear for every phoned-in outrage call they tally, Microsoft sends 10 cents to a kid in Sacramento fighting a deadly disease.
