Their goal is to disqualify the Michigan and Wisconsin votes by running the handcounts past the deadline, get electors to change their votes, challenge the PA vote with bogus Philly ballots and steal the election.

That doesn’t mean you can’t paraphrase:

The vote by Michigan’s Board of State Canvassers was tied 2-2 along party lines. According to the article that means a hand recount of the 4.8 million ballots can proceed. The elections director said he hopes that the recount can be completed in time and claims the deadline date may be December 17, not the date of December 13.

It puzzles me that the state evidently allows challenges and recounts after certification. I thought certification was supposed to make it certain, i.e., final.

She and her backers do have functioning brains. Their goal is to steal the election or discredit Trump victory by reducing the number of electoral votes he receives.

Dastardly! But how would Hillary have any moral authority to govern under the circumstances? She would be impeached on day one.

Shaping up that way

They stand to gain nothing by doing all of this to simply ‘delegitimize’ Trump’s victory. The lapdog media will gleefully do that for them daily, for free

This is about stealing the election outright. A full coup d’etat. Consequences be damned. They don’t care.

I’m in agreement with your comment. Many in these three states really did not want these recounts taking place to begin with and the Dems/Green credibility with these many people should basically be non-existent.

The State attorney advised the Board of State Canvassers that Monday’s certification of the election also certified the 16 Trump electors.

Make no mistake, if the 'Rats had the house, they'd be gathering steam right NOW to impeach Trump on Day one.

Actually, if you read what the AG said to the canvas board ... the Electors were certified when the Election was certified last week, ergo, unless you come up with something different by the deadline, these are the Electors and they WILL vote as originally prescribed. Choosing to proceed with a hand recount actually now becomes a way to ensure that Trump Electors will cast their ballots on the 19th.

Then if she were removed (unlikely, as it requires a 2/3 conviction in the Senate) Kaine would be the POTUS and he would appoint another Demoncrat. It would be a complete Constitutional crisis.

No sh*t. They are poking the bear, trying to start a civil war. If they think we’re going to sit idly by if they stop Trump’s inauguration they are sorely misguided.
