Washington (CNN)Hillary Clinton's campaign said Saturday it will take part in efforts to push for recounts in several key states, joining with Green Party candidate Jill Stein, who has raised millions of dollars to have votes counted again in Wisconsin.

But, in a post on Medium, Marc Elias, the campaign's counsel, said the campaign's own investigation has not uncovered any evidence of hacking of voting systems. In the campaign's most detailed comments to date on the recount, Elias wrote that while the campaign was not going to contest the results itself, it has decided now to take part in the effort to "ensure that it is fair to all sides."

Can we get a Million Patriots from each of those states to DC to protest?

From my understanding, they have until Dec 13th to complete the recount. If they don’t, the previous results will be taken. They aren’t thrown out.

Yep, I too hope this angers Trump mightily and pushes Trump to pull out all stops in criminal charges against Hillary, Bill, Chelsea, TCF, Huma, VJ, et al.

stupid liberal cows

It's worse than that. Their supporters to a great degree were coming to accept the results. They were ready to concentrate on rebuilding the party, throwing the party leaders out with the trash. With this idiocy, healing is put on hold.

The Clintons are far worse than we thought. They're evil. JMHO

The GOP better be sending lawyers, guns and money into all of the contested states... mostly lawyers and money for now. The Dems will cheat if they are not watched

Their strategery is to push for recount after recount until they manage to flip the vote.

Then they declare victory and get a liberal judge to freeze the recounting.

If they can't flip the vote with a statewide recount they push for just the counties and precincts where the vote is very close and democrats are running the Office of Elections.

That is what Al Gore tried to do in 2000 but was stymied by the supreme court.

But in 2004 the democrats did just that in the Washington state gubernatorial election and managed to steal it from the republicans after multiple recounts.

Washington Gubernatorial Election - 2004

Trump got suckered by the Clintons. He held out an olive branch when he said he wouldn’t pursue charges on the e-mail server and the Clinton Foundation. He likely assumed the Clintons would reciprocate by dropping any challenges to the elections. Trump was had.

It probably means nothing leagally if she concedes. It is not a vote count is what matters.

Trump election attributed to 'fake news' and Russian involvement, widespread accusations of voter suppression and hacked voting machines, demands for multi-state recounts not required by law, talk of impeaching Trump before he even takes office, etc.

They had this narrative loaded and ready to go weeks before the election, did you know that?

Or, Trump may have suckered the Clintons into exposing their true intentions knowing that as President-elect, his decisions to not have the force of law.

What we should do is get on social media sights and ask all voters to contact their Senators and House Reps to stop this. We all need to use Hillary’s exact words. “ anyone not willing to accept the results of an election is a danger to our Democracy”

shall we?

WI recount law states that all recounts must be complete by Dec 13th. They aren’t going to extend it.

As it was with Al Gore in 2000, Herself may be another one who “used to be the next President of the United States”.

Alternate history. What a wonderful place to live. Like Dorothy in the Land of Oz.

There will be no new votes for Herself. But some of the votes for Donald J. Trump may “disappear”.

After all, it was the Secretary of State for each of the states who is most usually in charge of certifying the vote, and even in states with a preponderance of Republicans in state offices, the Secretary of State is - a Democrat, and a very liberal one at that.

Best succeed, Madame Secretary. Otherwise, you’ve pretty much just guaranteed the investigations now proceed in full.

When one candidate in an election calls for a recount, it only makes sense for all of the other candidates to get involved in the recount so they can stay on top of any important developments.

It's really a harmless statement.

The more I think about it, the more I can believe it might actually be to our advantage.

Of course DJT is going to also get involved, and maybe even all of the other candidates on the ballot. The more the merrier.

A huge melee of high-priced lawyers each guaranteed to demand his 15 hours of talking time. Trump an afford this, the others, not so much. If Dec 13 really is the final date, the bigger the legal dog-pile the longer it will take to actually do something.

I am going to bet that eventually this goes to the Supremes. There is a 4-4 tie, and all that can do is suck up more time. Trump should be able to run out the clock on this without any trouble at all.

The bad guys have to win all three states. Just taking the votes out of contention still gives us the win, they have to flip them.

I hope this gets Trump P.O.ed enough that he makes prosecuting Hillary a top priority.
