Jill Stein has requested a full recount of the presidential election in Wisconsin, alleging that foreign hackers could have skewed the result by obtaining the state’s voter database and then filing bogus absentee ballots.

Just waiting for all the people who said you couldn’t change votes on a major scale come in to say how this is impossible

The petition and affidavit are too vague to support what the Guardian says they do. And may well be too vague to even support a recount under Wisconsin law.

But even if there were fraudulent absentee ballots cast, something Democrats have been known to do, then a recount is not going to change the situation, since all a recount does is count the cast ballots again.

I would think that the time period for challenging voters has long passed, and the absentee ballots may well be mixed together now so it would be impossible to identify which ballot corresponded to which voter - real, dead, or fake - at this point.

If Jill Stein was concerned about absentee voters her attorneys should have raised the issue earlier, by challenging the absentee votes when they were processed. See the Wisconsin procedure here

The votes have already been counted, as your source states:

"But all absentee ballots were included in the results of the 2016 election, Reid Magney, state Elections Commission spokesman, said."

"After the election is over, municipal clerks go through the thousands of names of voters in the polling books and record them online, Magney said."

"After the election, they have workers who sit with barcode scanners and scan in the barcodes of everybody who voted," Magney said. "That process can take up to 45 days."

The longer process is updating the on-line database with data from the checklists that show who voted.

States also gather extensive statistics on absentee voting, since some of that information is required by the federal government.

“The election folks don’t like it when I call it “The Shredder”

We think alike. I’m one of those “election folks”, and to certain voters (friends), after they filled out their ballot, I’d tell them “it goes over there, into that shredder.”

Early voters are called absentee in WI. I'm a WI poll worker. If there were any fraud it would be from the Democrats.

“ALLEGING” “COULD HAVE”

Yeah. But there’s NO WAY illegal aliens voted anywhere.

What happens if she discovers there were indeed a lot of bogus absentee ballots but they were submitted on Hillary’s behalf? Whoops!

This whole thing smacks of an agenda not yet completely revealed… except for the obvious one which is that it puts money in the Green’s coffers. If one is to take Stein at her words, she is no fan of Clinton having called her a “warmonger” and a “mushroom cloud waiting to happen” while on the campaign trail. Her latest tweets have in fact also been critical of Clinton’s involvement with the recount i.e. “Why would Hillary Clinton—who conceded the election to Donald Trump—want #Recount2016? You cannot be on-again, off-again about democracy.”

Stein has said she is doing this because they are aware of “voting anomalies, significant discrepancies, hacking tampering and malfeasance” and that it is “important to uphold election integrity” and that is “not designed to block Trump”… She has also indicated that she is against the electoral college voting system and that “Recount2016 aims to kickstart a national conversation around the integrity our electoral system and our democracy.”

So is that what this is all about? Green is trying to change the voting system in a way that benefits them and is using the recount in WI as a kickstart for it? I wonder if Stein dislikes Clinton so much that she is actually hoping it turns up things that directly implicate Clinton with some of that “malfeasance” she was talking about? Or is she just a Soros stooge doing his bidding for a price…..

Ya’ll have GOT to go read the petition. It sounds seriously like a high school sci-fi research paper! Their main points are: since hackers got into the DNC email AND Russia might have hacked into a recent Ukraine election than they could have done it here. Seriously they use the words might and could.... a lot! What a joke!

So it was hackers filing false election returns.......What would happen if the full force of police investigation found that it was corruption on the part of Hillary's campaign. Could she and her henchmen end up in jail?

Based on Wikileaks and Obama community organizing, I am certain that if there was corruption, it would be by Democrats.

Impossible. Pachysandra means literally "thick man." A "Bogus Pachysandra" would necessarily be a thin man. Thin men do not eat cheese.

It doesn't even matter to Stein/Clinton/Soros that if there were such bogus absentee votes they were most likely Democrat. If she raises the Republican margin by her vote count but keeps the electors from being certified in time for the Electoral College vote and if she can do that in the two other states then the election goes to the House which will elect Trump but then the Democrats have a "selected, not elected" rant for 4 years because counting all the fraud in the system, Trump will have then fewer electoral votes and fewer popular votes.

Jill Stein asking for the wrong remedy to the suspected problem?

That depends on what problem she is trying to "remedy." She, they-Soros and the Clintons, rather, are trying to keep the Electors in those three states from being certified in time for the EC vote. That still allows Trump to win but with fewer EC votes than Clinton because it goes to the House when neither gets 270 EC votes.

...alleging that foreign hackers could have skewed the result by obtaining the state’s voter database and then filing bogus absentee ballots.

Anyone see the irony here?

Trump states the obvious that many illegals and other ineligible folks voted and is said to be making it up - even after Obama pretty much encouraged illegals to vote and told them they wouldn't get in trouble for it... Stein/Soros/Clinton claim that folks not authorized to vote managed to get votes in and they are cheered on.

I would say that the results from any state that went to Hillary are suspect.
