Jill Stein to formally file for Wisconsin recount - UPDATE - PETITION FILED
The Guardian ^ | 11/25/2016 | Amanda Holpuch

Posted on 11/25/2016 9:57:05 AM PST by dirtboy

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”.

The idea is to reverse all three states and make Hillary the winner. Failing that, reverse two of three so that getting enough unfaithful electors is manageable, either through threats or bribes. It will all depend on what the states decide to do with her application.

Almost three weeks have elapsed to discover “uncounted ballots” that won’t appear until after these recounts are ordered.

All of a sudden us conservatives are arguing that the voting is not rigged. I believe there are numerous fraudulent events in the past and we should be careful and measured in how we respond to this.

Stein just opened the gates of Hell.

Now that it's precendence, we want a FULL investigation of voter fraud.

EVERYWHERE.

Pa, Mi, and Wi add to 46 electoral which would leave Trump at 260 if lost.

Absolutely right. They go after our narrowly won states, we must challenge their narrowly won states. Do we really trust notorious Clark County, Nevada, which has been corrupt since the day Bugsy Siegel saw a big gambling opportunity in a desert railroad watering stop? I also don't trust any Virginia county north of the Rappahannock. As for Jill Stein, either someone found her price or she may have received a reminder of what happens if you don't cooperate with the Clinton crime family.

Going back to my coffee and my banana cream pie now.

Yum! I just had some mystic Monk coffee and my wife's homemade pecan pie (heavy on butter, pecans and Jamaican rum) with freshly whipped heavy cream. Also yum! I think I like the day after Thanksgiving almost as much. Most of the food, NONE of the formality.

What’s another $4.9 million wasted to no purpose other than to cause more division and resentment? After all she is a socialist. It’s her job to spend money pointlessly.

Soros is paying for automated bot programs that automatically donate to Stein's donation site .This really easy to do when you have both ends the website and the bots by the same coding team. This is where the mysterious 3 million dollars came from not liberal grass roots the media and stein(a soros Stooge ) are claiming.

The key is automated bots by Soros as this is illegal to rig an election from a foreign source . twitter to Trump

Bots have automatically donated to Jill Stein websites for the recount.

Nevada margin = 27,634 - http://www.politico.com/2016-election/results/map/president/nevada/

New Hampshire margin = 2,732 - http://www.politico.com/2016-election/results/map/president/new-hampshire/

Virginia margin - over 185K -
http://www.politico.com/2016-election/results/map/president/virginia/

I’m not sure what Maine/Minnesota were like but it seems like a no-brainer that any “recount” would need to include New Hampshire and Nevada if Ms. Stein were interested in fairness.

Do the dems really want all the dem voter fraud uncovered in Madison and Detroit and Philly.

This sword will cut both ways and the dems will bleed lots more than we will.

And she would have to show a judge how she would be harmed in the absence of a recount.

Does Stein even have standing to sue? Seems to me the only candidate with standing to file for a recount would be Hillary. But I'm not an election lawyer (nor even a lawyer at all.)

Soros is using automated bots to donate to Steinn's website to get the $7 million to contest and demand recounts.These are not real people donating but BOTS. That's the key. This is foreign money trying to rig an election.

I think you're underestimating the general stupidity of leftists.

No dark money theory is required to pry funds from the wallets of gullible liberals.

I bet you that the states reject the filings and just move on.

I bet they have a Soros Judge already to go

She’ll get a hand recount. She’s raised enough money to buy a judge in Wisconsin...I’d say the judge has already cashed her check.
