Jill Stein, the green party’s candidate in the US presidential election, is due to formally file a motion for a recount in Wisconsin on Friday as her funding effort for counting the votes again in three states passed $4.9m.
As more money flooded in for her effort – which aims to fund recounts in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, all states where Donald Trump narrowly beat Hillary Clinton – she admitted she had no hard evidence of fraud but said the systems were vulnerable.
Her campaign team said it would formally file in Wisconsin before the 5pm ET deadline to do so; the recount motion deadlines for the other two states are next week.
The fundraising site explained that Stein’s campaign “could not guarantee” any of these states would have a recount. “We can only pledge we will demand recounts in those states,” the site said. “If we raise more than what’s needed, the surplus will also go toward election integrity efforts and to promote voting system reform.”
Her effort has split liberals, with some energized by the potential to show defeated Democrat Clinton is the rightful election winner, and those who see Stein’s intervention as an expensive gimmick to promote the Green party.
On Friday, Stein said she was acting due to “compelling evidence of voting anomalies” and that data analysis had indicated “significant discrepancies in vote totals” that were released by state authorities.
“We do not have a smoking gun,” Stein told CNN. “On the other hand, we have a system that invites hacking, tampering and malfeasance”.

he still wins without wisc.
They are also seeking recounts in MI and PA.
The real strategy is to raise money from the gullible. Stein now has a nice stash for furthering her political ambitions that she couldn’t have gotten any other way.
I wonder...is this soros cash?
We’ll know by 5pm today, that is the deadline to ask for a recount in WI.
Bingo!
Just one question: If she decides to not demand a recount, does she get to keep the money?
Going back to my coffee and my banana cream pie now. Ooooh. There's blackberry, too. Dang it! So many pies. So few stomachs!
Her campaign wants a recount done by hand.
WI’s SOS will tell her to get a court order for it.
And she has no evidence of vote fraud or vote tampering.
As the late Carl Sagan stated, extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.
And we don’t even have that present here. It should be denied.
Oh, OK. That ought to hold up well in court. LOL.
“...she admitted she has no evidence of (voter) fraud..”
so this is all BS
probably Soros trying to “delegitimize” the election to further weaken the American political system for his eventual re-capture (another stealth alien infiltrator candidate maybe? or another purchased and paid for candidate?) take your pick!
Jill Stein has no chance of winning, her request should be denied.
Good luck with it.
And she would have to show a judge how she would be harmed in the absence of a recount.
As in, she’s gonna win in WI. Ditto in MI and PA.
Daily dose of more theatrics.
I thought the votes had already been certified. The dates she is spewing is the last day to challenge the votes.
Hey Jill how about donating the 5mil to the US poor?
Stein lacks standing, as she cannot reasonably demonstrate that different results would have benefited her in any meaningful way.
I bet you that the states reject the filings and just move on.
1. She doesn’t have standing - a recount would not change her performance in the races.
2. The “scientists” who performed the analysis state flatly that they have “no evidence” that there was fraud perpetrated.
3. The recount is ultimately at the discretion of the powers that be in that state - Secretary of State and/or Courts. Remember what we went through in 2000 with a recount in just a couple of counties in FL? No way the powers that be want to go through that again.
This is all a big show to attempt to delegitimize Trump’s election. It will fail.
This damn dim bulb just doesn’t get it. Trump will be our next president so stuff it Stein.
Just heard Julie (the Dem lib on Fox) tell people NOT to give money to Jill Stein because it’s a scam. She said that insiders in the Clinton camp told her that Clinton has nothing to do with it. Julie also told people to “give it up” because it’s not going to happen and they might as well just get used to the idea of a President Trump and move on.
