Jill Stein Demands Donald Trump End ‘Intimidation’ Against Vote Recount Efforts

Dr. Jill Stein, along with her campaign staff and fellow Green Partiers, came all the way to Trump Tower this morning to blast his “anti-verification campaign” and tell him to stop spreading false information her recount efforts in three swing states.

Early Monday morning, the Stein campaign announced that a federal judge in Michigan granted the campaign’s emergency request to immediately start the statewide recount. On Nov. 28, the campaign said Pennsylvanian voters filed recount requests in more than 260 precincts across the state and two days ago that it would file for emergency relief in federal court to demand a statewide recount. The Stein campaign also filed a recount petition in Wisconsin on Nov. 25, requesting that a statewide hand recount that started on Thursday.

Stein sought again to distinguish her efforts to audit the vote from Trump’s claims ineligible individuals cast ballots—a point she made when she spoke to the Observer at the National Women’s Political Caucus of NYC’s 2016 New York State Conference of Civically Engaged Women on Friday.

“We are here to assure Donald Trump that there is nothing to be afraid of,” Stein said. “If you believe in democracy, if you believe in the credibility of your victory, put down your arms, end your bureaucratic obstruction, end your intimidation and join we the people of America who are calling for a democracy that serves all of us and elections that we can trust.”(continued)

Would someone please tell her this is not a Democracy, it’s a Republic based upon a body of rules. Those rules said you and Hillary lost. Get over it and quit wasting tax payer resources.

[Paulie]

Stein’s not in a position to demand anything of Mr. President-Elect. Go away already.

[Sacajaweau]

You mean like Ground Hog Day.

What is her deal?

1. She has received more airtime in the last 3 weeks than she did in the 18 months, providing some relevancy for her and the Green Party.

2. She will have access to voter lists, which can be targeted in future elections.

3. Sets the stage for delegitimatizing the election.

4. Will make her and the Green Party much more visible in the future, as an alternative to the Dems and the undecideds who are disaffected..

and on and on and on...

All this NASTY WOMAN is trying to do is to block the recognition of Trump’s victories in thee 3 states, and to delay the renewed recognition of his victories until beyond the deadline for the Electoral College meeting. This will deprive Trump of the electoral votes of these states, and throw the election into the House of Representatives or into the courts.

This is intolerable, Stein has no standing, and these efforts should stop IMMEDIATELY! The American people expect a peaceful and orderly transition of Presidential power, and we deserve to have it!!!!

don’t tell jill, but I have 20,000 PA ballots for hillary in my attic.

[tom paine 2]

And unshaved pits; that’s all I need to know.

[for-q-clinton]

How does a federal judge force a state to spend money on recounting votes? This makes no sense.

[seastay]

This from a woman who praises Castro , never allowing any elections

[rlmorel]

Demand in one hand, hope in the other, see which one fills up first.

I think it is going to be close...:)

[SMARTY]

Still beat you wife, do you??

[nikos1121]

I don’t really understand why Trump cares what she does, only why is she asking for recounts ONLY in the state he won? Why not California?

[Dagnabitt]

Bingo. Stein is enjoying far more visibility than she did during the campaign. This is all about her positioning herself for the future, via a boosted media profile, bigger email lists, and of course $$$.

No candidate should be able to request a recount anywhere. There is too much chance for shenanigans. Only a close margin (ie .5%) or the state parties should be able to request a recount.

[Army Air Corps]

I know few tree huggers, and they think that Jill Stein is vanguard of the Green Revolution.

[Objective Scrutator]

Yes.

[sport]

You can tell Kill Stein to go bite a hog in the ass,

[TigersEye]

I demand that you see a psychiatrist, lady!

In other news, the Baltimore Ravens demand that the New England Patriots stop shoving their players next week.

Leftwing nuts are so fricken spoiled after years of us being polite to them, that merely standing up for our rights as they try to mow us all over with their agendas is “intimidation” and “bigotry”...
