Trump Moves To Block Recounts Nationwide, Says Stein Has ‘No Evidence’
The Daily Caller ^ | 12/02/16 | Phillip Stucky

Posted on 12/03/2016 5:09:20 AM PST by Enlightened1

Representatives of President-elect Donald Trump are challenging recount motions in Pennsylvania and Michigan, according to Politico.

“Despite being no more than a blip on the electoral radar, Stein has now commandeered Pennsylvania’s electoral process, with an eye toward doing the same to the Electoral College,” the complaint filed Thursday states. “There is no evidence — or even an allegation — that any tampering with Pennsylvania’s voting systems actually occurred.”

Green Party candidate Jill Stein is responsible for pushing the recount efforts in those states, and called Trump’s motion “outrageous.”

“The recount in Michigan, which has been driven by an outpouring of grassroots support in the state — will go forward,” she said. “The Michigan Board of State Canvassers and Director of Elections has been a model of professionalism in moving this recount forward in an efficient, transparent manner. Yet the Trump campaign’s cynical efforts to delay the recount and create unnecessary costs for taxpayers are shameful and outrageous.”

How about the truth, Stein? What is your REAL agenda? Just another yappy Masshole stinking up the country. Can we can trade Red England to Quebec for a case of maple syrup?

So what gives Stein? Are you really looking for a house on an island and a plane? Do you think you are going to find 49,000,000 votes for you out there?

The recounts are ridiculous. They weren’t even close. Sure would like to know how Hillary picked up 20 thou in Philly.

I think the various government bodies in the various states cannot get their act together and/or the media is so focused on Fake News that they cannot present a comprehensive story about where we stand.

I would think that one government voice in each of the three states could talk to the media and say, “The situation for the recount in my state is as follows ...”

But that seems utterly impossible right now. As you say — recounts have been stopped...Recounts are happening...Judges stopped this...Judges allowed that...

There is no excuse for the public view into this matter to be all over the map. It breed confusion on purpose.

I hope hillary got Trump so mad that he decides to go after her.

Yeah but we won’t. Unless my some miracle of the devil she wins.

The hell would come at them with a fury they’ve never seen.

But this is all silly nonsense.

Trump will get the electoral votes he needs.

I didn’t know an Elector quit in Texas because of his religious beliefs.

He will be replaced, so it doesn’t matter.

There is a reason the Republican Party is called the stupid party. Ignored all this in three Democrat states and wonder why they are now all under the command of Obama, Hillary and the Dem Party. Some of us that have been around a while knew from the first night with Podesta’s speech they were not done counting (also known as frauding).

The Dem party has had access to all these ballots for three weeks or more while the Repubs are choosing their cabinet. Where are the political brains of the Repub Party?

The 20,000 votes she picked up in Philadelphia were added to her total when the tens of thousands of provisional ballots and disputed ballots that were set aside on Election Day were examined to see if they were legitimate votes.

This happens all the time, and it's not part of some election-rigging conspiracy. Democrats pick up thousands of votes this way between Election Day and the final vote counts all the time. It's because there are simply far more Democrats than Republicans who are dumb as bags of rocks and either show up at the wrong place to vote or can't figure out their home address.

What is your evidence for something like that?

WI recount is ongoing. MI recount cannot start until 2 days after Trump’s appeal is heard. PA has two avenues - precinct level, for which Stein only filed in a small number of precincts, and a court appeal which is on Monday, where she has to make a prima facie showing that fraud or neglect happened, and she already has publicly said she has no direct evidence. PA IMO will be game over.

Uh -- whut?

Look at the composition of the state governments in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania and tell us how "Democrat" they are.
