The rejected absentees and rejected provisionals re re-examined. The criteria for rejection . . . may not be consistent county to county.

It is THERE that 10s of thousands of votes could be manufactured.

This is exactly why the very first thing that needs to happen when the polls close is that precincts complete a count of ballots cast and report it to the Secretary of State.

This needs to be shut down now before any further bootstrapping occurs.

Stein lacks a factual basis for her belief that a mistake, fraud, defect, irregularity, or illegality HAS occurred. Neither Stein nor Halderman have provided any evidence to that effect.

Stein wants a recount in order to determine if there is any irregularity. This is exactly backwards.

Wisconsin law [Wis. Stat. § 9.01(1)(a)2.b] requires that a petitioner for a recount be informed and believe that a mistake, fraud, defect, irregularity, or illegality HAS occurred. Stein has provided no facts to inform her belief that any of this HAS occurred in Wisconsin. Indeed, her petition states that a recount is necessary to determine whether evidence of an irregularity exists.

Stein’s petition:

2. The Petitioner is informed and believes that an irregularity has occurred...

3. The Petitioner is informed and believes that:

g. “A hand count of paper ballots [] are necessary to make this determination”

Stein has not provided any evidence to support her belief that any irregularity has occurred and is requesting a recount to determine whether evidence supporting her belief exists.
