PHILADELPHIA (AP) - The Latest on the presidential recount efforts in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin (all times local):

12 p.m.

Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein says her efforts to force recounts in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin are "about ensuring that all votes are counted and that voters can trust the system."

But, at the same time, I’ll bet Jill is adamantly opposed to Voter ID or to cleaning up the voter lists or acertaining whether or not voters are citizens.

“All the votes” means something different to the Left.

Translation: “It’s about my drama, my significance, my need to be in the news. Pay no attention to blue states. Those states care about the little people. You can trust them! It’s red states I’m concerned about.”

Why not New Hampshire, Nevada, Colorado and talk about the illegal and dead voters in California and other states, Mrs. Stein?

Liberals strongly criticized Trump, regarding whether he would accept the election results. The implication was that liberals believe that there are no problems in our elections; that we have free and fair elections, and that we have honest accurate vote counting.

Against this backdrop, now we are seeing liberal elements challenging what they had implied beforehand were accurate and honest vote counting in only 3 key states.

This is so patently absurd. What’s really going on here? And how can Jill Stein do this, when there’s no way any recount could show her winning any of the states? It seems odd that she and her henchmen even have standing to challenge results and compel a recount.

Sorry that is just bullshit.

The "explanation" is the fact this article exists: attention.

I can't wait for the electoral college to vote so everyone can go back to forgetting Jill Stein exists.

I’m sure Jill’s mommy and daddy told her she was the best girl in the whole world.

Ok, Jill ol' gal, if you are only interested in "ensuring voters can trust the system" then why are you only looking at states that could potentially flip the election. Why not look at Texas or Vermont or Oregon? Don't voters in those states deserve to know they can "trust the system"?

Nobody would ever donate money to fund a recount effort in states that were won by the losing candidate.

When this is all over, Trump and the GOP need to seriously reform electoral law.

Part of this needs to be a Sore Loser Law. No candidate with less than 20% of the vote should have ANY standing to challenge the results in court, or demand recounts.

The states obviously have some work to do on tightening their laws regarding standing, or any fool who wants to obstruct an election can potentially disenfranchise an entire state - using the taxpayers’ own resources

When did she have this epiphany about the integrity of the vote?

I've said all along that her objective is simply to raise millions of dollars so she can prolong the campaign and keep paying lawyers, campaign staff and consultants -- many of whom are probably friends and family members.

She probably figured (correctly) that it would be much easier to raise money from gullible people for a silly recount effort than for a Bigfoot search expedition.
