Recount would have to move quickly (WI)

They learned this time around to not specify select counties in which to recount as they knew it was not constitutional. So throw open the whole state, which can’t be completed in time.

Trump just hired Donald McGahn as White House Counsel. McGahn is an election law expert.

“Piven-Clowad Strategy”. Overwhelm or de-legitimize every aspect of our government and society to make it collapse. Then make Socialism seem like the only real new beginning.

[stylin19a]

no kidding. Not sure if this could end up in front of SCOTUS but.....

Wisc. says it will have to work nights & weekends. Only the "County Board of Canvassers" can do this recount.

As a result, county boards of canvassers may need to work evenings and weekends to meet the deadlines.

This, plus the article randita posted, says WI is at risk of the Dec 13th deadline to certify results.

Blood of tyrants,

How does the recount affect the certification?

Is there any chance of Stein messing up WI and the other two states’ (PA & MI) certifications?

Blood of tyrants,

Is this possible, to recount in three states, and have the delay screw up the EC vote for those three states?

Wow, this is the goal. If WI misses their deadline, their 10 electoral votes would be void.

If the proposed Wisconsin recount is not completed on time, the state’s 10 Electoral College votes could be rendered void. In that scenario, Trump would be left with 296 electoral votes, which is still 26 more than the 270 needed to win the presidency.

Will check to see if MI and PA has this as well.

If WI can’t do the recount by Dec 13th, their electoral vote of 10 will be voided and not counted, meaning Trump would lose 10. This rule probably exists for MI and PA as well. If deadlines are missed, all the electoral votes will be voided for those states.

If the Safe Harbor Day deadline (December 13) is not met, then the state legislature will appoint its own slate of electors. This almost happened in Florida in 2000. The Republicans control all of these legislatures.

The legislature could simply appoint the Trump slate. Which was under consideration in Florida in 2000.

Well, I don’t have to tell anybody here that larger forces are at work than just Ms. Stein and some concerned advocates. Together, Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania have enough electoral votes to tip the win to Hillary if all three recounts flipped the popular vote.

There is no doubt in my mind that some of Jill’s funds are from Democrat/leftoid big rollers. She raised all that money in an incredibly short amount of time.

As somebody else on this forum put it, the Left never quits.

Speaking of which, what would it take to request a recount in Virginia and other states that Hillary narrowly won? I’m thinking that fighting fire with fire could be an option.

Combined General and Maryland “Freak State” PING!

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Apparently not for a recount request. If she sued in a court of law, standing would apply there, I presume.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Now another candidate who got 1500 votes is requesting a recount.

I wonder how much the Left's movers and shakers will give him. Since Jill already has enough funds, $0r0$ and company might tell him to go jump.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

If Jill is successful with all three petitions, we just might have to get used to saying Madame President. Do you know of any voting irregularities in Virginia or other states that Hillary narrowly won?

No. If the re-count cannot be completed by the certification deadline imposed by the constitution, the state legislature is empowered to assign the state's electoral vote to the candidate of its choice.

Since both houses of the legislature in all three states are in Republican hands, Trump will not be denied any EVs.

When the electoral college meets on December 19, the electors from Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania will be able to cast their state's vote or Trump.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

They want a hand count to delay long enough to deny Trump Electoral College votes.

And if they succeed in that in all three states, the sumbitch will just go to the House and Senate, which are likely to pick Trump and Pence.

The answer is to throw an equal number of Clinton states into a recall as well.

[katielou828]

Not true. Any candidate can. Depending on the % that they lost by determines who pays but in WI if the candidate can pay they get a recount.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

I agree. Make sure they are ones Hillary won closely, and who says it has to be just three. Do all the suckers.
