Hillary Clinton is looking for volunteers to help with the general election recount in two states.
New pages have been set up on HillaryClinton.com for those eager to assist the re-tally effort in Michigan and Wisconsin.
“Help with the Michigan recount,” one page urges. “Let us know if you want to get involved.”
The page features a sign-up form — but offers no other details, other than: “Someone from the team will be in touch.”
“Paid for by Hillary for America, a grassroots campaign of 3 million donors committed to electing Hillary Clinton (and keeping Donald Trump out of the White House),” reads the disclosure at the bottom of the page.

Yes, I think if they did use that, it would be the same precedent-—Confed states’ electoral votes irrelevant, so majority of remaining states.
It can’t be if I understand both the US and the state constitutions. Legislatures are the final word on selecting electors, can do so with or without any “certification” by anyone.
Also, in 1864, half the country’s electors were out of the Union, so they took the majority of those states remaining.
Does it matter what is true?
The concern, here, is that the so called “conservatives” and Republican Party has neglected influencing or teaching Civics and Government and Western History, until it’s practically so late that a child is already college bound and picking his Major before he understands a Republic!
We beat back nothing and wonder why the simplest protections become a launching point for tyrants in the USA.
The EV will come back to haunt us in future elections.
Not worried about switched votes, just delaying the vote which creates an appearance of uncertainty about the election. Fortunately, America left and right was tired of the campaign and grateful for the end of this cycle.
They should at least pay them $35 an hour like Soros pays the protesters.
This recount strategy would weaken a typical Republican president. I don’t think it will affect Trump at all. It’s the difference between process oriented politics vs. results oriented goals. I’m loving watching the feckless media cry over their lost ability to influence the agenda. I’m loving the death of political correctness.
Correct.
We should buy them up.
They will be collectors items...plus they go real well with the Trump chant:
LOCK HER UP!
The key here, IMO, is the 4-4 Supreme Court.
On a totally different subject:
Grampa Dave came up with this gem:
“CNN receives programming reimbursement from the U.S. State Department via The Bureau of International Information Programs; the same State Department program that pays Facebook for content. CNN is not as reliant on ad revenue because they get tens of millions from the U.S. State Department.”
