The fine print on her website tells donors that she cannot guarantee that a recount will happen and that any surplus money raised will go towards "election integrity efforts and to promote voting system reform." All of their money has come from private citizens, the Green Party does not accept corporate donations.

Trump has destroyed 17 candidates including Hillary. He has destroyed the DNC,RNC, and MSM and the elite corporate types.

I simply cannot take this recount bs seriously.

That does not mean that the Trump team does not defend itself but right now Trump holds all the cards.

This will not go anywhere and I give the Trump team all the confidence in the world. The Hillary rag tag is nothing more than sore losers.

Most of us want someone to go in there and steamroll the fools.

What exactly do you think Trump has done up to this point. He has obliterated the opposition. Trump is very very powerful and strong.

This recount thing is a paper tiger.

As far as Limbaugh goes, he is trolling for ratings. Nothing more.

Clinton Campaign admits the recount will likely not change election results:

Steven T. Dennis at Bloomberg Politics reports Hillary Clinton’s campaign will join the recount process in battleground states despite admitting they doubt it will change the results of the election.

I really wish the GOP would address this before the midterms.

This is classic Alinsky. Just create a lot of chaos and mayhem just for the hell of it. Right now the democrats want to create as much unhappiness as possible just because they love misery. They are a miserable lot and that is where they like to wallow.

That's your choice, but there's no need to criticize those those do take it seriously.

All of their money has come from private citizens, the Green Party does not accept corporate donations.

There were reports that Soros Bots were responsible for the huge infusion of cash while most people were sleeping. Something like $160,000 per hour was coming in to Stein’s site over night.

Talk about two contradictory statements. I agree with the poster, Soros donated that money. There is no way private citizens gave her more money than she raised during her campaign!

Yea, they really are miserable and still in shock. Wait until they realize they can’t change it. Libs will be crashing and burning.

I believe it's very likely Clinton's supporters donated that money. They'll grab any straw they can to keep Trump out of the White House.

What would happen in the case of recounts not being finished by the date of the meeting of the electoral college?

Why is someone who garnered 1% of the vote allowed to demand a recount?

She has to pay for it, which she is doing with donated funds.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but even if she files the application and pays the fee, Wisconsin does not have to go ahead with it.

It’s simply a lie that the $$ has come from private individuals, unless that private individual is named Soros. If you look at the donation page, as some have, it’s deposits are remarkably rigid, as though a bot was making them.

Well, the concern trolls don’t quit when he’s elected. Every single statement or move is followed by handwringing.

I swear, I’ve never seen anything like it except on the Dallas Cowboys fan boards during a game. The Cowboys were up 11 on the Redskins late in the 4th quarter and you’d have thought we were losing by 20. “Defense sucks” “They’re just terrible,” etc.

Same here.

... Nothing happens until millions are paid to the states. The states do not operate on credit. As of now there will be no recounts until millions change hands....

It is even better than that. The state has not even decided how many millions have to change hands. They are estimating that, but I bet they don't really get started until Monday,

So, Tues or Wed they tell Jill how much it will cost and Jill has to pony up before anything starts. And, the money is completely lost. The recount instigator has to pay for the recount unless they win the election. Jill is so far behind she can not possibly win. Money thrown into the swamp.

I want to know about that too.

I’ve read alternately that the Wisconsin electoral votes would be uncounted and counted.

It wouldn’t make sense to not count them or chicanery could easily occur.
