December 19 will also be entertaining when the Electoral College makes the election of Donald Trump official. Oh, and it will also be a happy day for your humble correspondent when I am finally able to collect a few hundred bucks from my PredictIt wager on Trump.

The Green Party does not want to put up the money. So they're filing a federal lawsuit to try to force a recount for free. Even though it cost them to file the suit. In...

WASHINGTON, United States — Former Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein dropped her efforts Saturday to request a vote recount in Pennsylvania, one of three battleground states won by Donald Trump where she is challenging the results. “Petitioners

On Twitter, she later added: “#Recount2016 is so expensive because of elected leaders who have refused to invest in a 21st-century voting system.”
