Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein on Wednesday called for a recount in three key states — Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania — and appeared to quickly raise more than the $2.2 million her campaign said was needed to pay for the recounts.

“After a divisive and painful presidential race, in which foreign agents hacked into party databases, private email servers, and voter databases in certain states, many Americans are wondering if our election results are reliable,” Stein said in a statement on her campaign website.

“That’s why the unexpected results of the election and reported anomalies need to be investigated before the 2016 presidential election is certified. We deserve elections we can trust.”

The fundraising effort sought to collect at least $2.2 million, which Stein’s campaign said would be enough to pay for costs associated with filing for recounts. It sought to raise the money by 4 p.m. central time Friday, or one hour before the deadline to request a recount in Wisconsin, which has the earliest deadline of the three states.

Having lost with only what? 2% of the vote? She has no standing.

And I’m sure all that money came from DNC and Clinton operatives.

No. The point is to have a recount so she can siphon off enough votes to alter the Electoral College results so that Hillary wins.

Just like the 2000 election. They’re only interested in close “battle ground” election results where clinton lost. What follows is repeated manipulation of the tally till she wins.

I thought it was more apt to be Bill Weld (and Gary Johnson) requesting recounts.
I though Jill was, if nothing else, at least principled.
But alas, seems she has the same principles as Bernie:

"My opponent Hillary Clinton is in bed with Wall Street bankers. Vote for Hillary".

Does this have any chance of actually happening??

I continue to be more and more nervous about this election now that Trump won, and will continue to be until he’s safely in the WH on 1/21

Cobb also said: “Over the last 48 to 72 hours, reports have come in from cyber experts, from forensic experts, and others who are reporting to us some very troubling news about the possibility of security breaches in voting results across this country in this past election cycle ... The experts are telling us that it’s worthy of investigating these three states.”


Cyber experts, forensic experts and others are reporting about a possibility of security breaches across the country...

How funny that Hillary’s prophesy in the third debate may have happened, BUT only in the three freaking states that would make the witch the President...

You LOST, deal with it.

This has nothing to do with voting machines. How do you hack a voting machine? All bs.

No. She would not only have to do the recount, but also flip all three states by somehow changing the results in each and every one. Flipping one or two states wouldn’t be sufficient. Not happening.

So. Hillary and the DNC are funding her “recount efforts” and also probably paying off her campaign debts? FOLLOW THE MONEY!

So even if Putin did hack the machines in those states, how is a recount going to help?
Also, didn’t they already have a recount in Michigan?

PA has no paper ballots and no paper trail on their machines. Apparently they’ve done an automatic recount for statewide elections twice before and the total only moved a few 100 votes. Apparently the only way they can do it is unpack all the voting machines again and reread the counts on them.

Flipping all 3 States and installing Hillary would be the perfect outcome in the left’s view....but not really even necessary. All they need to do is flip one of the 3 States, and they can create the narrative that Trump was “Selected Not Elected” (remember that from Bush v. Gore???) but even worse since it wasn’t the USSC this time but some nefarious foreign agents who hacked voting machines just like they did Hillary’s server.

Then they can use that false conspiracy theory narrative to delegitimize the Trump Presidency and keep the street agitators motivated to keep their b.s. throughout Trump’s term(s).

Anyway, this also reveals once again the left’s hypocrisy. Stein was quoted in the last several weeks of the campaign referring to Hillary’s warmongering that “(Hillary) is a walking Mushroom Cloud.” If she really believed that - as I also do - she would never want to risk installing Hillary now that Hillary has conceded and the Trump transition is well underway and picking up steam.

Hypocrites.
