Hillary Clinton is being urged by a group of prominent computer scientists and election lawyers to call for a recount in three swing states won by Donald Trump, New York has learned. The group, which includes voting-rights attorney John Bonifaz and J. Alex Halderman, the director of the University of Michigan Center for Computer Security and Society, believes they’ve found persuasive evidence that results in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania may have been manipulated or hacked. The group is so far not speaking on the record about their findings and is focused on lobbying the Clinton team in private.
Last Thursday, the activists held a conference call with Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta and campaign general counsel Marc Elias to make their case, according to a source briefed on the call. The academics presented findings showing that in Wisconsin, Clinton received 7 percent fewer votes in counties that relied on electronic-voting machines compared with counties that used optical scanners and paper ballots. Based on this statistical analysis, Clinton may have been denied as many as 30,000 votes; she lost Wisconsin by 27,000. While it’s important to note the group has not found proof of hacking or manipulation, they are arguing to the campaign that the suspicious pattern merits an independent review — especially in light of the fact that the Obama White House has accused the Russian government of hacking the Democratic National Committee.
According to current tallies, Trump has won 290 Electoral College votes to...

They also lie when they say he got only 290 EV. He got 306, because he carried Michigan.
That is why they are claiming it was HACKING of voting machines, where voter ID can’t prevent it. If they suggested people voted multiple times, it would support voter ID laws, and they don’t want that.
Especially if there are exit polls that support the reported vote ratios. The “hacking” claim is one that can’t be proven, unlike ballot box stuffing. I am kind of surprised since Soros owns some of the voting machine companies that he didn’t provide some “hacked” machines to support these claims. Or should I say, “re-hacked” since they were undoubtedly reset from their pro-Dim hack immediately after the election. I have no doubt they were hacked, but they just under-estimated how much to fudge in favor of Clinton. I think Hillary really lost these three states by at least 5% but they only figured they would need a 4% buffer to win and avoid suspicion.
they can’t audit this stuff in 4m years
Yes they likely know they have no chance to overturn the election in PA and WI and only a snowballs chance in hell of overturning MI.
You are right that this is just to make his win illegitimate to the street mob and be a rallying cry for 2018, even if they dont challenge. With Trump publicly saying he won’t investigate Hillary further, I doubt Hillary will authorize any challenge now. She knows she would not succeed and Trump then would publicly reverse himself saying the investigation into her misconduct resumes 1/20/17.
I wouldn’t be surprised that this may be the reason Trump is calling off the dogs from Hillary in exchange for her not making trouble via challenges in these states.
Communists don’t believe in the peaceful transfer of power.
How many of the millions of new California votes are stuffed ballots? Why are they still counting votes there that will not affect the outcome of any ballot races? How long do they usually count them?
they can’t accept the results of the election, so, they...wait for it....say it was RIGGED.
Trump lost Washington State, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Nevada by small margins. If you recount all the narrow Hillary losses, you recount all the narrow Hillary wins, as well. At some point, you have to conclude that they are not seeking justice though the heavens shake, but shaking the heavens and using justice as a pretext.
They will always make trouble. We never win by being nice to them.
Same thing with amnesty. Conventional gop-e thinking was we needed to be for it in order to win hispanics. All it did was hurt the gop with other voters and the hispanics voted for the dems anyway since they’d get amnesty plus more govt benefits
Something that really pisses me off is that they believe that their disappointment is more righteous than ours was when Obama won.
Two of the most important tasks Trump must perform:
1) Send Illegal Aliens home.
2) True the vote.
I'm game for the alternative.
I'm feelin' awfully froggy.
They are just absolutely hellbent about getting the multiple felon who is above the law into the WH.
I guess they want the 25 million dead that Alinsky talked about. It just might not be the 25 million they planned on.
That’s because with Obama winning and you being upset is pure RACISM...
With TRUMP winning, they are justified in being upset because TRUMP is racist, bigoted, homophobe, islamphobe, etc. etc. etc.
You’re right. This is all hot air and a news day filler for a slow news day.
Wonder why this is even being discussed, cause it’s not going to happen.
She knows better. Hillary's not going to thrown herself into the lions den.
If they contest WI, MI, and PA, Trump should contest CA, IL, NY, and VA. If it goes to a deadlock, we win.
LOL!
Yes, she would be foolish to challenge MI, PA and WI, given that Trump just gave her an early Christmas gift in declining to investigate her.
She would have to have the results in all three thrown out and awarded to her to become POTUS. In both PA and WI, Trump’s margin of victory was over one percent. I’ve never heard of any US Election result being thrown when the margin of victory is over one percent.
If she did challenge all three and in effect took back her concession, Trump would say investigation is back on!
