Maybe Elizabeth Warren can jump into the drama and excitement of the recount.

“Stein wont get 10k vote swing so its all smoke an mirrors on Dem and Green party part!”

Don’t be fooled. Jill Stein is just a front. They’re actually trying to find enough votes to give WI, PA, and MI to Hillary.

As I understand it, I believe they have already had 2 counts: the quick count and then the full count. Also, isn’t this one of the states which does not have machines, but rather have paper ballots with scanners?

“Not sure how Stein is permitted to force recounts when she has no possible chance of winning.”

Wisconsin rules say that any candidate can call for a recount, regardless of how many votes they received.

Why on Earth would they not appoint electors?

I still haven’t found a single case of a state failing to appoint electors. and vote.
(Still looking though.)

doesn’t matter Hillary still doesnt have enough of a majority of the electors present on December 19 unless she switches 6 or 7 to Jill Stein, Gary Johnson or the mormon guy Ian McMullin

December 13th. There is a "safe haven date" that has to be met in order to satisfy the requirement that the appointed electors meet on the 19th. It is 35 days after the election.

I don’t think that works either.

Scenario 1: flip MI blue and neutralize PA and WI. Total EVs are 508. Trump 260 HRC 248 with 255 to win. Trump wins

Scenario 2: flip PA blue and neutralize MI and WI. Total EVs are 512. Trump 260 HRC 252. 257 to win. Trump wins.

Scenario 3: flip WI blue and neutralize PA an MI. Total EVs are 502. Trump 260 HRC 242. 252 to win. Trump wins.

Scenario 4: Flip WI and MI, neutralize PA. Total EVs are 518. Trump 260 HRC 258. 259 to win. Trump wins. Barely. Faithless elector becomes a danger.

Scenario 5: Neutralize all 3. Total EVs are 492. Trump 260 HRC 232. 247 to win. Trump wins.

There is no scenario that involves flipping one state and neutralizing two that nets an HRC win. HRC win scenarios are:

1) Flip PA and MI, neutralize WI
2) Flip PA and WI, neutralize MI
3) Flip all three

If she fails to flip PA, she fails period.

The other two aren’t going to change either. I can’t remember offhand, but I believe the most votes ever flipped in a statewide recount is fewer than 1,000.

She won’t. This is why HIllary had to come out and “join” the effort. Michigan would not do this for Stein.

Jill Stein will pocket a lot of money from Soros/Clinton from this. She knows she has a snowballs chance in hell of being President, but watch how her fortunes will change due to this debacle. Despicable woman.

That’s not what the Constitution says. She can’t win without actually flipping them.

I don’t see how America could survive as a country after something like that.

Trump would still win with 260 electoral votes if the majority number of electoral votes can be reduced from 270 to 247 if all three states (MI, PA and WI) are unable to cast their electoral votes?
