Note to the GOP - and Trump - re recounts (vanity)
me

Posted on 12/06/2016 10:42:39 AM PST by Leaning Right

So Jill Stein is demanding three state recounts, for "election integrity" as she says. Odd that she is only targeting states where Trump won by razor-thin margins. Why not also recount New Hampshire (Hillary by 0.4%)?

I hope that the next time something like this happens, the GOP immediately demands a recount as well, but of those states the Democrats barely won.

Sorry for the vanity, but this is yet another case where the Democrats are punching while the GOP is just blocking.

This recount will certainly amount to nothing. But what about next time? An immediate GOP counter-demand for a New Hampshire recount would have at least given the Democrats something to think about, even if that demand is for show only.

The riots didn’t work, the ‘stealing of EV’s’ are not working, so this is their last try to convince the American Voters that Trump will not make it...

Do you see Trump not filling his cabinet? Have you heard or read where the Election Committee has told him to stop? Has this been presented into the Supreme Court: Bush VS Gore....

Until any of that happens, this is the media, talking heads and pundits trying to beat us down...I’m not doing that...

God has His hands on Trump...has had since day one...no one other than God could have protected Trump from what they have thrown at him since day one...

Isn't that where anyone would target a recount? That is likely why no one is contesting Kalifornia too.

It is getting pretty obvious that the intent isn't the recount results, it's all about stein and her lawyers and $7.5M.

Because nobody would donate a penny for a recount effort in a state that was won by the losing candidate. Trump supporters would be smart enough not to waste their money on that.

********************

What is the purpose of her recounts? Was it to reduce Trump’s total and maybe put
Hillary in? If so why would she want to count states Hillary won?

Election fraud is possible in those states. But Hillary won both Nevada and New Mexico by more than 2%. So maybe investigations are in order. But simple recounts wouldn’t change anything. (IMHO)

Republicans should demand recounts in California, New York, Massachussetts and Illinois. So what if the outcome won’t change? It’s about the integrity of the process.

Republicans are too smart to piss their money away on that nonsense.

I think they ought to use these recounts to show fraud in the Democrat counties (Like Detroit where there was irregularities). Judges have pointed out there is no evidence of voter fraud in ruling against laws making voting requirements stricter. We need to use these recounts as a basis for eliminating fraud.

If so why would she want to count states Hillary won?

Stein would want to recount ALL close states if her goal is truly just to check for "election integrity" (her phrase, not mine).

That she is not also calling for a recount in New Hampshire proves two things: Stein is a liar, and she is a shill for Hillary.

By not counting in all 50 states would that not go against the “one person - one vote” Law?

Agreed. My point is that the GOP should at least go through the initial motions here. Let the Dem's know that they are not the only ones who will consider a recount.

Use the same rationale what's her name used - "we think maybe there is a chance that something maybe is wrong"

Want to see heads explode? Let do what they are doing, let’s force a recount in New Hampshire. Imagine if Trump ended up beating hILLery in a recount there.

That's what I was trying to say. You just said it more clearly. Even the threat of a New Hampshire recount would be effective.

These recounts are nothing more than attempts to deny Trump these states EV’s being counted at the Fed deadline and without presenting any evidence of election fraud or significant harm to the Green Party. He should challenge the votes of California, Nevada and Colorado based on the strong possibility that illegals voted in these states as well as Virginia based on McCauliffe’s legally dubious pardoning of felons. This would deny Clinton more EV’s than Trump stands to lose in the rust belt.
