Clintons Confirm Participation In Recount Plan, Despite No "Actionable Evidence Of Hacking"
ZeroHedge.com ^ | 26 November 2016 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 11/26/2016 11:50:59 AM PST by Rockitz

This morning Hillary Clinton's campaign general counsel, Marc Elias, confirmed what we all knew already, namely that Jill Stein is likely acting at the direction of the Clintons in her recount efforts in WI, MI and PA. The discovery came after Elias posted a note to Hillary voters this morning on Medium confirming that they would participate in Stein's recount efforts even though the Clinton campaign itself had decided against a recount because they had "not uncovered any actionable evidence of hacking or outside attempts to alter the voting technology." This approach seems to align perfectly with the strategy we laid out two days ago:

We joke, of course, as Jill Stein's effort to raise money for recounts in WI, PA and MI is obviously being done on behalf of the Hillary Clinton campaign. It's a very clever approach (we would expect nothing less) as it allows Hillary to maintain the high road as the gracious loser while allowing someone else to play the bad guy...typical Clinton politics really.

That said, since Jill Stein decided to act "completely independently" to waste the money of a bunch of donors the Hillary general counsel figures they might as well participate despite the fact that "the number of votes separating Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton in the closest of these states—Michigan—well exceeds the largest margin ever overcome in a recount."

Because we had not uncovered any actionable evidence of hacking or outside attempts to alter the voting technology, we had not planned to exercise this option ourselves, but now that a recount has been initiated in Wisconsin, we intend to participate in order to ensure the process proceeds in a manner that is fair to all sides.

Recounts don't "swing" individual votes ... they find errors in disqualified ballots and/or they look for opportunities to disqualify ballots for the other candidate.

If it was that easy, don't you think Scott Walker would have lost ONE of his THREE statewide elections in Wisconsin (two regular elections and a recall election)?

Because they must have enough people in place to flip it there, rather than in Florida.

I agree with Dennis Millar. Clinton would not be doing this unless the fix was in. The real question is what do you do if that happens?

I think you’re worrying too much - all recounts have swung a thousand or so votes MAX.

You're right, this is patently absurd.

Nothing will come of it --there might even be a negative outcome for Stein/Clinton. I.e. Trump might pick up a few votes.

This so ridiculous, I'll stick my neck out and predict this nonsense will backfire on the Dims.

Was the fix in for John Kerry in 2004 when the Green Party candidate followed the exact same recount process in Ohio?

I didn't think so, unless I've been in a coma for the last 12 years.

Dennis Miller should stick to whatever he does best. History and election law apparently aren't his strongest subjects.

Keep in mind that all three of the states in question (Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania) have Republican-controlled legislatures, and two of them (WI and MI) have Republican governors. If you think these people are all going to playing golf in Florida while Democrats and Green Party knuckleheads come and steal their elections, you're delusional.

No -- the real question is what will you do if Godzilla and Mothra show up on the west coast and have a pitched battle in San Francisco Bay ... because that's a much more likely turn of events than what you and Dennis Miller have come up with.

Amen
Our Heavenly Father has prepared Donald Trump and Mike Pence for such a time as this. In spite of the campaign against them by all traditional media, in spite of the cheating, in spite of the plotting, our Father God brought Trump and Pence to victory.
We must press into the Lord. He has shown great Mercy thus far. It is up to the remnant to press into the Lord. If it is His will, we will have victory through January 20th and beyond. Any victory must be in Him. All glory must go to Him.

Recount deadline for PA was November 17.

https://ballotpedia.org/Pennsylvania_Auditor_election

Does not appear they can get one for PA.

If they could manage to steal WI and MI, Trumps count would go from 306 to 280.

What will I do?

Hmmm. I think a good old punt gun will be enough for Mothra. For Godzilla... could it be to much to ask for a nice seat with a view? Old fan from way back.

Back to serious topics. There is a risk (much great than Godzilla being real) for this recount to flip the election. The potential for “lost” votes being found is very high. Look at Minnesota for example. They kept counting till they got the results that they paid for.

Trump had better have a team of lawyers getting ready to challenge results in other states.

Another major priority that Trump needs to do when he gets in is to clean up the voter fraud and stop the illegal alien votes (make it a felony & bring back Operation Wetback from the 1950s). Some kind of national voter ID act is neefed and get rid of or restrict the early voting.

This is either a move to money behind a future Jill Stein run beneficial to the Dems (MA Gov. In 2018) or to get money out of the Clinton foundation fast as crap before the inevitable audit on Jan. 20th.

They can still do PA by going to court. This is why Trump needs to go to PA with lawyers
