She does not want to count the votes

Jill does not want a recount, she wants to nullify the votes. She can do this with a slow recount that goes beyond the certification date 12/13. If a state does not certify to Congress by that date the votes do not count and Hillary wins. She can slow the count by challenges which will get them beyond the certify date. Remember Michigan just reported their final vote a week ago, almost three weeks after the election.

States DO have to certify by 12/13 and the Electoral College meets 12/19. If the 3 states Stein has chosen don’t certify by the 13th, their electors won’t qualify to vote.

I believe the correct term for you is “Panic Troll.”

Nonsense.

Does Jill Stein somehow influence the speed of the recount?

Wisconsin has already certified their results. If the recount was not complete by then, and someone was deliberately dragging their feet, it would probably default to the original certification.

There's no way to pull any such shenanigans without risking civil war. Seriously.

Bring it on. We're ready.

Like I've said, we the People accomplished a bloodless Revolution on November 8, but if the Loony Left insists on the other kind, they will be indulged...

This stunt would have been pulled long ago if it had potential to get the Election into the House.

Of course these days, with the dishonorable den of thieves that Congress largely consists of, who knows?

Gore would have won in 2000 if he had taken New Hampshire. Those 4 EC votes were what denied him the oval office. He only needed Florida because of his 1 loss in New England.

[sargon]

Sure the battle shall be fought in state courts and in the House if need be but the real battle where we are outgunned is in the corrupt media and in the academic arena. That is where they want the fight.

Outgunned? Um, did you see the results of the recent election?

This movement is not outgunned anywhere, and that's going to become more and more apparent as the death throes of the Dinosaur Media continue. Their power is steadily waning, while the Revolution continues to wax stronger and stronger.

The Revolution is unstoppable, and the only question is whether the Left will push things to the point of bloodshed or not. Either way, they will lose decisively...

[sargon]

They claimed over and over again that “Bush stole the election.”

And yet Bush still won a second term... so much for that effort from the Left.

[sargon]

I believe in my heart of hearts on 1-20-17, Hillary Clinton will be sworn in as President of the United States.

Put the crack pipe down.

[sargon]

Gore would have won in 2000 if he had taken New Hampshire.

Gore also lost his home state of Tennessee, LOL! That should be an automatic disqualification...

[Crucial]

Trump won’t just roll over.

[Godebert]

"Romney ran much stronger in the WOW counties than did Trump, and the same was true for just about every other affluent suburban area—even the most rock-ribbed Republican—in the nation"

The "WOW" counties? I'm calling BS on your made up acronym.

[Godebert]

"Not true. If the recount isn’t finished, the votes don’t count at all, nobody has 270, and the House chooses."

Complete nonsense. If the recount isn't finished, the electoral vote will revert to the previous election from 2012 and Obama will then appoint new electors from each state which has more than eight letters in it's name and entered the union prior to 1836.

I believe that is true. That could potentially prevent Trump from getting the necessary 270 votes. But that would throw the election to the House of Representstives and Trump would still be selected.

“The “WOW” counties? I’m calling BS on your made up acronym.”

You’ve never heard of Waukesha, Ozaukee and Washington Counties referred to as the WOW counties? You must not follow Wisconsin politics then. The three suburban counties gave Scott Walker 70%+ in his three gubernatorial elections (including the recall) between 2010 and 2014 and often were referred to by the shorthand WOW. I think that the acronym also is used in the Milwaukee metro area to refer to those collar counties in nonpolitical contexts and predates its political use, but I’m not from Wisconsin so I’m not sure about that.

OK, I just Googled the three county names and WOW. Pages upon pages of hits, mostly nonpolitical (my hunch about the acronym’s nonpolitical origin was correct) but also quite a few in which their importance to WI Republicans running statewide is noted. Here’s a sampling:

So next time you feel like shooting off your mouth about something you don’t know about, look it up first, or ask about it, instead of accusing the person of peddling BS.

Nope - you are missing a very critical point.

The electors are appointed by the states. The scenario being discussed involves a state failing to appoint electors.
