Green Party candidate to hold rally outside Trump Tower amid recounts
Iranian Press TV ^ | December 3, 2016

Green Party candidate Jill Stein is set to hold a rally along with her supporters in front of the Trump Tower in New York on Monday.

Stein, who has initiated the process of vote recounts in the states of Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania following the 2016 presidential election, made the announcement on Saturday.

GOP nominee Donald Trump won presidency on November 8 by flipping the three traditionally blue states, triggering calls for a recount pursued not by Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton but by Stein.

Trump has vowed to block the efforts by having his lawyer file lawsuits against the move.

“We won’t stand down as Donald Trump and his allies seek to frivolously obstruct the legal processes set up to ensure we have a voting system we can trust and that all votes have been counted,” Stein said in a statement.

On her website, Stein is asking Americans for donations to pay for the cost of recount in the states.

In a complaint filed in Pennsylvania, Trump’s lawyers said "There is no evidence — or even an allegation — that any tampering with Pennsylvania's voting systems actually occurred," adding, "Despite being no more than a blip on the electoral radar, Stein has now commandeered Pennsylvania's electoral process, with an eye toward doing the same to the Electoral College."

In the run-up to the 2016 vote, Trump kept insisting that the US election is “rigged,” particularly censuring the Electoral College system, which finally gave him the victory.

Despite being one of the most unpopular Democrats to run for president, Hillary Clinton managed to garner over two million votes more than his opponent across the country.

Guess the Iranians aren’t pleased with our President Elect.

The PA recount is dead. MI should tell her to pound sand.
I hope WI makes a bunch of money off of her.

EXCERPT:
In Florida, the infamous DS-200 optical scan machine is in use in many parts of the state. Affidavits from voters illegally turned away from the polls are being gathered. And county election officials are reporting that 25,000 absentee ballots were requested but never sent out in Broward County alone.

Unfortunately, Florida law has been changed to make it all but impossible to have a recount. The only avenue for inspecting the ballots is to file a lawsuit contesting the election results, and that must be done by Friday, Dec 2nd.

At least journalists in Iran are willing to state the truth.

“According to her statement, she plans to hold a news conference about the recount effort Monday morning outside Trump Tower in New York City.”

I can hear it now.

"After days of recounts, it looks like Trump won. We are positive the totals are correct. Congratulations President Trump."

> “Recounts are currently underway in Bucks, Montgomery and Delaware counties, Otter said.”

So if enough votes can be generated (absentee, provisional ballots + fraud) in the liberal areas, she can tout the fiction that Hillary won, because the conservative area absentee/provisional ballots were never counted to provide the counterweight. It’s confusing enough to have idiots believe that Hillary actually won.

Her goal is to find enough votes to get his vote total down to .5%, so it will trigger an automatic statewide recount.

I would think that you can’t count votes in selective precincts in order to achieve that goal. That is, I’m guessing the 0.5% criterion is satisfied or not based on the originally certified statewide results.

I would think so too. However, she seems to think differently. Supposedly, that is her new goal.

With all of the NYPD and USSS in front of Trump Tower (some with very big guns), this could get interesting. She may not be able to stand exactly where she wants.
