Why has not the Clinton Slush Fund put any $$ towards this abomination?

Peace Be Unto You.

They’re as incompetent at sore losing as they are at winning

On what basis can they mount a legal challenge? They have already admitted that they have no evidence. But then, if the decision maker is a Democrat, all things are possible.

Well, Obama's people tell us the Russians hacked our election... so based on that, Hillary can sue to make her the winner.

This is all about the fundraising. Neither one gives a damn about whether they meet the deadlines. The only deadline is getting the fundraising emails and mailers out quick enough.

Doing it via Stein is supposed to keep Hillary’s hands clean and costs Stein her cut of Soros pie instead of Hillary’s. A free ride.

Haha! And yesterday Jill posted a long video telling the volunteers exactly how to fill out all these forms, and now it turns out her instructions were pointless? Haha!

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration said on Friday that despite Russian attempts to undermine the presidential election, it has concluded that the results “accurately reflect the will of the American people.”

THIS AIN’T OVER EVEN WHEN THE LAW SAYS IT IS.

With Democrats, the law is malleable and I would not be surprised if they eventually allowed a recount.

Remember what happened in New Jersey in 2002?

Late in the 2002 Senate election against Republican Doug Forrester, Then Democrat Senator Robert Torricelli received a formal letter of admonishment from the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Ethics for his involvement with campaign donor David Chang. Torricelli Withdrew from the campaign because of this on September 28,2002, leaving the Democrats with NO CANDIDATE ( actually, Torricelli’s name could still be on the ballot ).

The problem was exacerbated when the law stated that a ballot changed could only be allowed before a certain date ( that was WAY BEFORE September 28 ). The Democrats fought all the way to the State Supreme Court to have their replacement, a retired Frank Lautenberg on the ballot.

The New Jersey Republican Party challenged the replacing of Torricelli with Lautenberg, citing that the timing was too close to the election, and, per New Jersey law, the change could not be allowed.

Guess what? Law or no law, the ballot name change was unanimously upheld by the New Jersey Supreme Court, who cited that the law did not provide for a situation like Torricelli’s, and said that leaving Torricelli on the ballot would be an unfair advantage for Forrester.

The GOP then took the case to the SCOTUS.

The U.S. Supreme Court declined to take up the case. Lautenberg defeated Forrester in the general election, 54% to 44%, and took office for his fourth term in January 20.

SO, WITH THIS PRECEDENT, WHY SAYS IT CAN’T BE DONE IN PENNSYLVANIA?

On the basis that Trump won, they lost, and that just can't be...

Trump had it right. It was a fund raising scam.

The Left gets suckered yet again.

Workers of the WOrld , UNTIE !

Buahahahahahahahaha!

Stein needed a court order for the recount, and knew no court would give her one, she did not have a prima facie case for a recount.

Hillary should be very careful. Push it too much, and Trump should withdraw his comments that he won’t pursue Clinton Foundation and e-mail malfeasance.

She is, or will, excepting donations.
I think that is what all this is about.
There is no way she changes the results.

Now, now, CNN just said Hellary gracefully and politely accepted her defeat and it’s all Trump’s fault for tweeting about it.
