“The attorney for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, Marc Elias, here indicates the Clinton campaign will participate in the Wisconsin recount. He says if Jill Stein proceeds in Michigan and Pennsylvania, the Clinton campaign will participate in those recounts as well. Thanks to Political Wire for the link.”

If this election is overturned there will be civil war plain and simple. And there will be civil war when Trump takes office. There is no avoiding it.

Stein's petition for recount is premised on conjecture, exaggerations, distortions, and lies. For example:

• Item 8 in Halderman’s affidavit is pure conjecture surrounding a set of hypothetical events

• In item 6 he exaggerates the DNI-DHS statement, claiming “The Department of Homeland Security has stated that senior officials in the Russian government commissioned these attacks.” The DNI-DHS statement does not claim there is evidence that Russia directed or conducted attacks, specifically stating “we are not now in a position to attribute this activity to the Russian Government.” DNI & DHS believe attacks are “consistent with methods and motivations”. Methods and motivations are not proof of actions.

• In item 6 he distorts Podesta’s e-mail compromise characterizing it as being “broken into” when Podesta himself clicked on spam and entered his password. (See a Salon article dated October 21, 2016 “hillary-clinton-campaign-chariman-john-podestas-email-was-hacked-because-he-clicked-on-a-phishing-link”)

  Note well: Podesta’s email has nothing whatsoever to do with Wisconsin or any other state’s voting systems. This is simply an attempt to prey upon the public mind casting fear, uncertainty, and doubt into it.

• In item 6 he lies about Arizona’s voter registration systems being breached.

Conjecture, exaggerations, distortions, and lies are nothing to premise a recount on. Stein and Halderman have not provided any evidence of hacking or other irregularity in the conduct of the election. Their petition should be denied for having no basis in fact.

I sure wish that Trump supporters would demand recounts in New Hampshire (Clinton 47.6 percent, Trump 47.2 percent, Difference: 2,701 votes), Minnesota (Clinton 46.4 percent, Trump 44.9 percent, Difference: 44,470 votes), Nevada (Clinton 47.9 percent, Trump 45.5 percent, Difference: 26,434 votes) and Maine (Clinton 47.9 percent, Trump 45.2 percent, Difference: 19,995 votes).

Further down, it also says:

NOVEMBER 28 Last day to file petitions to contest the election of any candidate . (Not applicable to elections of the first class.)

Then:

NOVEMBER 29 No later than 12 Noon on this day, a recount or recanvass ordered by the SECRETARY OF THE COMMONWEALTH must be completed . NOVEMBER 30 By 12 Noon on the day after completion of a recount or recanvass ordered by the SECRETARY OF THE COMMONWEALTH, but no later than 12 Noon on this day, the county boards of elections must submit to the SECRETARY OF THE COMMONWEALTH the results of the recount or recanvass .

[Ray76]

Stein’s petition is baseless.

The WI SoS accepts the petition.

Now Clinton joins.

They’re bootstrapping.

> Why do articles keep saying that PA can still do a recount?
Because they know some Feral Government™ judge can be fouNd who will invent a way to force the PA recount ...

THEY WILL FIND ONE TO ORDER THE POLLS TO REOPEN FOR ANOTHER WEEK. James Comey and Loretta Lynch will approve.

[generally]

I agree.

Conservatives rolled over for Franken, for Gregoire, and for quite a few others that I can’t recall. I don’t think they are going to roll over and have the Presidency stolen from Trump.

I might turn my back if a kid is stealing a candy bar from my store, because the fight might cost more than the candy bar was worth. Perhaps I know that the kid’s dad is trying to steal the whole store and I need to save my energy and resources for that. Try to steal the whole store from me? Different matter entirely. You’ve got a BIG fight on your hands.

>> can keep her campaign contributions

This seems like a fundamental flaw in the system.

[DarthVader]

No more rolling over here, we will rebuild America on their crushed bodies.

>> And I looked at the thrown together papers Jill submitted to WI requesting recount, its a hodge lodge of various ideas of possible ways fraud can happen, not anything solid.

My bet: It’s a list of techniques the Democrats have used to commit fraud. We should pay attention to this a primer on what to look out for and prevent in future elections. It probably doesn’t include the techniques that are directly traceable to them.

Also, it’s true there are lots of ways that fraud can happen, but how do you nail down which ones DID happen, who committed the fraud, and who benefited/who was harmed?

[generally]

Good one!!

[ridesthemiles]

Tick Tock Tick Tock

[ThePatriotsFlag]

Serious Question, you do you “Take part” in a recount?

[KavMan]

LOL

Recount will go nowhere!

We aren't talking about 1000-2000 votes here! We're talking about 20,000+ votes!! Recount = waste of time!!!

[Ann Archy]

We'll participate my ass!! They STARTED this CRAP!!!

I thought Hilliary said that TRUMP MUST abide by the outcome!! Why the HELL can't she.....because she is EVIL!

[KC Burke]

I think that this interference in the process of the Republic shows her malignant nature and that the Trump administration should do a through investigation into her misdeeds in office, in her campaign and in the Foundation pay-for-play actions of herself and others.

“Hillary’s lawyer admits they uncovered zero evidence of hacking/vote fraud.”

Translation: During the past three weeks we’ve had access to enough voting districts to make up the difference and it’ such a perfect scheme that it won’t be detected.
