that is from 'The Bay State Banner' on October 4, 2001. Author is Cynthia Suarez. Read Stein's words.“And what happens if Wisconsin doesn’t finish the recount by the federally required deadline of Dec. 13??? “
There are 50 more threads just like this one,you will find your answer there
Is there any confirmation Jill paid for the recount? or just the application fee?
I haven’t seen any mention she has paid and I think they don’t start until it’s paid.
Sad WI going thru all this starting to prepare to do a recount if Jill ends up balking and not going thru with it. I hope not many volunteers are involved yet until it’s actually paid and a “go”.
I’m hoping tomorrow she is met with bad news from PA.
WI legislature can safe harbor the electors so they can still vote on Dec 19th - if the recount is not finished before then.
They’re figuring out how much it would cost and they’ll only go ahead once Stein posts a bond to get it started.
... If I am not mistaken, I believe that If the Recount goes past the Dec 19th electoral vote .... Then the States Electoral votes would not be counted in this election and would become null and void and deleted from the electoral count. This would change the results of the election.
.... In the end we'd probably end up with a situation similar to 1876, when both Democratic and Republican electors submitted competing electoral votes from three states, and Congress had to decide which set to accept. Congress is controlled by Republicans, so guess what they would decide.
.... Either way, whoever did take office would be seriously damaged by the process.
Here’s the proposed time-line.

which will probably be THE timeline
Now we know what Stein’s real reason for being in the race was.
She has been a Clinton plant all along.....served a dual purpose.
Won them (and MI) by a lot more than Clinton in New Hampshire...
This is an area of law few are familiar with. My general understanding is that if the recount isn't complete by the deadline, either the state legislature can get involved in some way, or the State's electoral votes will not be forwarded to Congress.
Presently, the Electoral College consists of 538 presidential electors from the fifty states and Washington, D.C. An absolute majority is 270 votes.
As I poorly understand it, if Wisconsin's 10 EVs are not forwarded to Congress, there would only be 528 presidential electors and a correspondingly lower absolute majority. Obviously,if only Wisconsin's EV's aren't counted, Trump still wins. However, if Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania are not counted, then my understanding is that the House of Representatives will have to select the President and the Senate will select the Vice President.
Under this scenario,the objective appears to be have Congress select the president in order to de-legitimize Trump by claiming he wasn't elected but rather selected by his own party. Another outcome would be if several of the Not-For-Trump Congressmen voted Hillary and handed her the presidency.
