This morning Hillary Clinton's campaign general counsel, Marc Elias, confirmed what we all knew already, namely that Jill Stein is likely acting at the direction of the Clintons in her recount efforts in WI, MI and PA. The discovery came after Elias posted a note to Hillary voters this morning on Medium confirming that they would participate in Stein's recount efforts even though the Clinton campaign itself had decided against a recount because they had "not uncovered any actionable evidence of hacking or outside attempts to alter the voting technology." This approach seems to align perfectly with the strategy we laid out two days ago:
We joke, of course, as Jill Stein's effort to raise money for recounts in WI, PA and MI is obviously being done on behalf of the Hillary Clinton campaign. It's a very clever approach (we would expect nothing less) as it allows Hillary to maintain the high road as the gracious loser while allowing someone else to play the bad guy...typical Clinton politics really.
That said, since Jill Stein decided to act "completely independently" to waste the money of a bunch of donors the Hillary general counsel figures they might as well participate despite the fact that "the number of votes separating Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton in the closest of these states—Michigan—well exceeds the largest margin ever overcome in a recount."
Because we had not uncovered any actionable evidence of hacking or outside attempts to alter the voting technology, we had not planned to exercise this option ourselves, but now that a recount has been initiated in Wisconsin, we intend to participate in order to ensure the process proceeds in a manner that is fair to all sides.

Clinton Campaign admits the recount will likely not change election results:
Steven T. Dennis at Bloomberg Politics reports Hillary Clinton’s campaign will join the recount process in battleground states despite admitting they doubt it will change the results of the election.
If the xlintonistas are in on it, you can count on it being crooked!!
Or maybe they shouldn’t bother — and should simply carry on with their transition and make Trump look even more presidential by doing that.
... Do you have any evidence that George Soros has any involvement in this at all?...
Just his track record of trying to overthrow independent governments from the inside. It seems to be his favorite pastime.
I think you’re worrying too much - all recounts have swung a thousand or so votes MAX. MI has paper votes - so you’d need to find a stack of 10,000 legitimate votes somewhere. Impossible. PA has a margin of 70,000 votes, and the vote has been tabulated twice by both Dems and Reps. As the Dem Chief of Elections stated, it’s a boring job but if any irregularities would have arisen, you would have heard from them immediately. Wisconsin is somewhat in the middle, as there is a 20,000+ margin and this also is impossible to overcome as Wisconsin’s voting system is so decentralized (it’s conducted by precinct separately). Any “found” votes would immediately cast the shadow of suspicion on the precinct and the staff of that precinct that found the vote.
What Hillary et al., are hoping for is a nobody code-monkey to come and say “well, the votes could have been hacked” but this does not work in MI (all paper) or in PA (no internet connection).
I say this is for Jill to run for Governor of MA in 2018.
Not sure the GOP can contest anything due to the 1982 injunction imposed on the GOP.
Please confirm that as it is quite important.
The GOP can’t - Trump will. I say that PA denies and certifies, then MI will perform a recount with the fluctuation of a few votes, and then Jill will withdraw before having to pay.
Then she’ll take the money and run for governor of MA.
What I believe is this is about money for 2020, and fanning the flames of all the true believers out there who still think they HRC has a chance in hell of becoming president. The assertion that somehow Trump is unaware of the recount effort, etc, is nonsensical as is the insinuation that nobody else is “paying attention” because they’re not hysterically ranting about it. Get a grip.
No, Michigan has NOT been recounted. They finished all the counting this past Wednesday. Secretary of State certified that day.
> “Do you really think the Trump team doesn’t know what’s going on in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania? “
I think the Trump team is keeping watch. I’ll modify that, my inclination is to think this because Trump fights like no other republican has fought that I can remember.
I have personally witnessed elections stolen from leading conservatives because they trusted the process too much, they were not ready to pounce on election thieves.
And one of the elections stolen was by an establish incumbent republican against a popular conservative newcomer.
But I want to think the Trump team knows to counter the criminal election thieves. This is like WWIII. Although the enemy may surrender, don’t let the guard down until the enemy’s forces are controlled or disbanded, meaning keep vigilant until Trump is sworn in.

I can only hope that President Trump sends some of our special patriots to put these foreign interlopers on the other side of the grass.
Perhaps there is something else entirely going on here.
I am confident (and I’m confident that most FReepers and conservatives would agree) that 99% of any election fraud was in favor of the Democrats. I’m also pretty confident that a recount will not overcome the deficit needed for Hitlery to win. Definitely not in enough states to change the outcome. So what could they be up to?
Some guesses:
1. They are trying to cover their tracks before Trump becomes President and systematically looks into election fraud nationwide.
2. They are trying to create enough FUD to sway electors. (Also an unlikely win for them.)
3. They are trying to prove to their handlers that they have done everything possible to win in order to get themselves out from under whatever threats they are facing as a result of the loss.
4. They want to look into things sufficiently to lay blame on whoever was responsible for their loss. I.e., they want to be able to tell Soros/other puppeteers that they did all they could and put the blame at the feet of someone else who will take the fall.
Any other ideas?
Well its certified and done.
I’m sure there are plenty of examples of stolen elections like you cited. Can you cite a specific example of an election that was “stolen” after an initial margin of 10,000+ votes was certified?
What are they going to do if they audit Pennsylvania and discover Philadelphia had 118% turnout?
There are a few notable left-leaning websites warning their readers not to donate any money to the recount because they know exactly what's going on here.
