Jill Stein Vows To Launch Recounts In More States To Ensure "Election Integrity"

Zero Hedge ^ | 11/28/2016

[SeekAndFind]

After drawing criticism from almost everyone for her recount efforts in WI, PA, & MI, Jill Stein is doubling down saying that she "would support efforts elsewhere to uphold election integrity."  Ironically, the only thing actually threatening our "election integrity" at the moment is Jill Stein's recount effort.

Experts pointed us towards WI, PA, & MI as the largest chance of fraud, but we would support efforts elsewhere to uphold election integrity. https://t.co/CypfEBc8Qn

Just yesterday we wrote a note asking why Jill Stein was pursuing these recount efforts (see "Is This The Democrats' Real Strategy In Launching Recounts?").  Certainly there is practically no hope of switching the ~100,000 votes that would be needed for Hillary to win WI, MI and PA and even the Obama administration and the Department of Homeland Security have confirmed that there is no evidence of election hacking.  Which left us to speculate that Stein is simply hoping to disrupt the electoral college process to push the 2016 election into the hands Congress while drawing the legitimacy of Trump's presidency into question.

Now, this morning we have a direct confirmation from Stein that her campaign has absolutely no proof of election tampering.  Explicit confirmation that all the disaffected Hillary supporters have been duped.

Everyone asks if hackers altered our election results. We don't know. #Recount2016 will assess systemic integrity. https://t.co/hjQkhgILMX

Meanwhile, basking in the glory of her 15 minutes of fame, Stein has launched a tweet storm lecturing everyone on how to create a real "democracy."

Clinton + Trump: Want democracy? Enact a national "right to vote" law to guarantee universal, automatic, permanent voter registration.

In a society w/ crooked politicians and businesspeople who don't pay their taxes, it's understandable people are skeptical of #Recount2016.

Clinton + Trump: Want democracy? Use verifiable paper ballots, and institute mandatory, automatic and random precinct recounts.

— Dr. Jill Stein (@DrJillStein) November 27, 2016

Clinton + Trump: Want democracy? Make Election Day a national holiday, so everyone has the opportunity to vote.

— Dr. Jill Stein (@DrJillStein) November 27, 2016

Clinton + Trump: Want democracy? Enact laws guaranteeing the presidency to whomever receives the most popular votes in all 50 states.

— Dr. Jill Stein (@DrJillStein) November 27, 2016

This is a good game, and we have another: "Jill Stein: Want Democracy? Don't steal millions of dollars from disaffected Hillary supporters to challenge elections where you have no evidence of election tampering and no chance of changing the outcome."

Jill Stein is getting her name in the news more now than she did as a presidential candidate.

[dragnet2]

When will these nasty mentally ill liberals announce they need more time for counting, so the inauguration and swearing in of President Elect Trump must be delayed.

If you want to learn everyone’s theories on the answers to your questions, you have to plow through the 50 other threads on this, read Jill’s tweets and Facebook videos and Youtube videos, read her website, etc. Then go to each state and spend hours trying to understand the fine print on election re-counts. In other words, full time job!!!

How do I give to the "California Integrity Fund"? I think it would be worth the effort to shine the light into the septic tank before pumping it out if we are going to go forth with recounts in the rust belt.

We have four years to put "integrity" into our national elections, this must be done once and for all.

>>EXPERTS??? More like left-wing political hacks.<<

Almost all the states have a % threshold that must be uder (1 or 1.5% - something like that).

Very few of the states difference makes that threshold.

I don’t want ‘democracy’.
In a box, or with a fox.
I do not want it here or there.
I don not want it anywhere................

What are these people going to do when all this fails...?

They are going to look pretty stupid...

How many tools will want their money back?

“Clinton + Trump: Want democracy? Enact laws guaranteeing the presidency to whomever receives the most popular votes in all 50 states.”

Hey, dopey, laws alone won’t do that - you have to amend the Constitution in order to do that.

Oh, and BTW, we do NOT want a pure democracy - then 50% +1 voters can legally enslave the other 50% - 1 voters, or do anything else that they want. The Founders gave us an Electoral College for the same reason that they gave us 2 Senators for each state in Congress - to preserve the rights of the smaller states vs. the bigger ones. In fact, Electoral College representation is EXACTLY tied to the number of Representatives + the number of Senators. Let’s NOT change that, you idiot. Otherwise, states like CA, NY and IL will decide most elections, not the entire country.

This beyotch must have some serious dirt on Hillary, Nazi George Soros or both.

If you're looking for voter fraud, recount the blue states.
But she won't. Red states only, right? That reveals her true motives.

[pgkdan]

No, I think it's more likely they have the dirt on her. Before the election she was saying that a vote for Trump was preferable to a vote for Clinton.

Screencap this Stein tweet and send it to the folks that can “head it off at the pass”:

“Everyone asks if hackers altered our election results. We don’t know. #Recount2016 will assess systemic integrity. https://t.co/hjQkhgILMX

“OK, somebody help me please.”

OK, I’ll take a stab at it. Right now there is only one recount going on, which is Wisconsin. It appears Michigan may have one, but has more stringent rules for a request. Pennsylvania requires proof and a court order, and a recount there sill likely never happen.

So let’s say the WI recount does not meet the deadline, then most likely WI electoral votes will not count. This still gives Trump 296 votes. Let’s say they flip WI, it still gives Trump 296 votes with Hiterly just 10 more.

Let’s say they cause enough stalling to make enough states irrelevant so Trumps total is less than 270. Then the House decides. And since it’s Republican owned, Trump will be the Prez.

[Sans-Culotte]

Which left us to speculate that Stein is simply hoping to disrupt the electoral college process to push the 2016 election into the hands Congress while drawing the legitimacy of Trump's presidency into question.

I don't really buy this theory. If that chain of events does come about, the 'rats and Stein will simply look like jerks who messed up a system that had already worked.

Thank you. This should be posted again and again!

The best way to fund Free Republic would be to accept advertising from Reynolds Wrap (tin foil). There would be just lotsa cash left over so there would never have to be another Freepathon.

Add to that a sticky thread giving detailed instructions on making the best possible tin foil hat.

If you live in one of these three states, and they are unable to finish the recount, or wrap up the certificate by the appropriate time...your vote didn’t count.

In my book, that’s worth a billion-dollar lawsuit for all of those within the state who voted. Stein should pay half and the state the other half for allowing this type of fraudulent action to occur.

If someone wanted a recount, you should have filed within ten days of the end of the election, and posted some kind of bond for the cost of the recount.
