Jill Stein prepares to request election recounts in battleground states
Guardian via MSN ^ | 11/23/2016 | Jon Swaine

Jill Stein, the Green party’s presidential candidate, is prepared to request recounts of the election result in several key battleground states, her campaign said on Wednesday.

Stein launched an online fundraising page seeking donations toward a $2m fund she said was needed to request reviews of the results in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

Stein said she was acting due to “compelling evidence of voting anomalies” and that data analysis had indicated “significant discrepancies in vote totals”.

Her move came amid calls for recounts or audits of the election results by groups of academics and activists concerned that foreign hackers may have interfered with election systems.

Donald Trump won unexpected and narrow victories against Hillary Clinton in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and may yet win Michigan, where a result has not yet been declared.

The loose coalition of academics and activists, which is urging Hillary Clinton’s campaign to join its fight, is preparing to deliver a report detailing its concerns to congressional committee chairs and federal authorities, according to two people involved.

As I said, not enough votes out of Wayne County to overtake Trump’s overall lead.

They should have tried harder. Oops!

She can’t see that getting involved with the clintons is a bad choice. Really, at this point it’s ‘hold my beer and watch this’

Yup, Trump outran the margin of fraud.

The reason the Dems are so shell shocked is that they milked their sand bagged voter fraud as much as they safely could and Trump still beat them.

Clinton does NOT want any poking around on these matters. Massive fraud FOR her will be uncovered. That is one of the reasons she conceded and id not lawyer up.

She can ask till the sky falls down. Its not going to happen & the progressives need to accept the fact they are on the way out the door.

Stein should be asking for a recount in Vermont and Washington State. It's hard to believe that Hillary outpolled her in those states. Fraud must be involved.

Of course she would need more than the electoral votes of those two states to throw the election into the House of Representatives.

If the difference between the votes cast for the leading candidate and those cast for the petitioner or the difference between the affirmative and negative votes cast upon any referendum question is less than 10 if 4,000 or fewer votes are cast or not more than 0.25 percent of the total votes cast for the office or on the question if more than 4,000 votes are cast following canvassing of all valid provisional and absentee ballots, the petitioner is not required to pay a fee.

There are 2,929,100 votes cast. .25 percent is 7,323. Trump’s lead is around 27k. No recount.

Curiosity about Wisconsin has centred on apparently disproportionate wins that were racked up by Trump in counties using electronic voting compared with those that used only paper ballots.

The issue is not why Trump did better in precincts using electronic ballots. The issue is why Hillary did better in precincts using paper ballots. Those are the precincts that need to be investigated.

How many of Hillary's votes in those precincts were "found" in boxes after it became apparent that Hillary was behind and all cast in alphabetical order?

Voting fraud does not exist. The dems constantly tell us this every election.

If Stein is the petitioner, then the only difference that counts is the difference between the number of votes for Trump and the number of votes for Stein, not Hillary.

Stein cannot launch a contest as a straw man for Hillary. She has no more standing than any other citizen of the state who has no possibility whatsoever of being elected in any recount.

Trump won 2600 counties and Hillary won less then 500. Those numbers speak of the genuine widespread support Trump has. Hillary's measly sub 500 counties makes her popular vote lead look corrupt, just like her.
