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.

Nazi collaborator George Soros money, for sure. This gives them more time to “find” ballots.

Obama said no cheating goes on in our electoral process.

When will the “hanger ons” go away? I can't believe there are that many out there who still believe in miracles.

Key :

“With access to the physical machine, .........”

I seriously doubt Russian hackers had PHYSICAL ACCESS to the machines after the voting. This is nonsense.

All a recount is going to do is show Trump won by an even larger margin once all the illegals, felons and the cemetery crowd’s votes get thrown out.

Ha, Soros dumps $2 million in Steins lap. How hard is that?

Didn’t Clinton already concede? Once you concede, the election is over. PERIOD. Once a candidate agrees that her opponent has wone, the election is over. Period.

So the commie Dem election fraud machine can restuff the electric ballot boxes all they want to fix the voting numbers after the fact all they want, and count them until the cows come home.

Hilary conceded the election to President Trump and there is no going back from that outcome now.

I love the smell of liberal commies heads exploding in the morning. The gift that keeps on giving.

Best election ever.

Actually there aren’t paper ballots in PA, only MI. From a previous Thread: “A candidate can’t actually file for a vote recount under Pennsylvania law. Instead, they would have to challenge a county board regarding its vote computations, and a state appeals judge would have to rule that a statewide recount is necessary. That means the Clinton campaign would either have to request a recount by petition in every voting district or present a prima facie case showing voter fraud. (Prima facie is a lower threshold than beyond a reasonable doubt. A judge would just have to rule that fraud probably occurred in order to call for a recount.)”

I think Trump should to ahead and file a law suit to stop the madness. She had nothing to gain or change from any outcome.

My magazines are full.

You should rotate them full to empty every so often.
You'll weaken the springs.

Actually, hg, that's a myth. It's flexing and unflexing the springs that weakens them....

I was able to test this a few year back. While going through some of my fathers things after his passing, I found a loaded 1911 magazine where Id left it after loading it for him 12 years earlier. It chambered every round without a problem. Springs wear out from use... Compression and expansion, not from being left compressed.
