The recount efforts spearheaded by Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein are expected to come to a close on Monday -- with little evidence that they changed the overall outcome.
Stein initially filed for recounts in three states where the final margin for President-elect Donald Trump was narrow: Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.
In Wisconsin, the recount is expected to wrap up Monday: officials said Friday that the recount was 95 percent complete, and that it had yielded a net gain of 25 votes for Clinton.
And in Pennsylvania, a federal judge ruled Monday morning against Stein’s request for a review of the voting systems, saying it was possible they had been hacked and compromised.
In his decision, federal judge Paul Diamond said Stein’s allegation of possible election tampering “borders on the irrational.” .
“Granting her later than last minute request for relief, however, could well ensure that no Pennsylvania vote counts,” he wrote. “Such a result would be both outrageous and completely unnecessary; as I have found, suspicion of a ‘hacked’ Pennsylvania election borders on the irrational.”
Stein could appeal the decision, but time is short: all states must certify their election results by this Tuesday, so it’s unlikely any new action could be taken before then.
And in Michigan, the third state on Stein’s list, the recount process ended last week after a judge lifted an order forcing the statewide review of ballots. The recount lasted three days, and examined ballots in 1/4th of the state’s 83 counties.
Stein first began raising money for a possible recount in late November, and quickly began bringing in millions of dollars for the effort. According to Stein’s fundraising page, the effort has raised more than $7.3 million.

AH THIS EXPLAINS THE RUSSIANS STOLE OUR ELECTION HYSTERIA. They’re options have officially ran out of steam.
Obama knew this would be the outcome on Friday.
That’s why he floated the CIA Russia charges.
It’s on to the next tactic.
*their
Yep. Time to drain the swamp at CIA.
Since the 1990s the CIA has been manufacturing fake intelligence for the Democrat PR machine. From the fake intelligence about Saddam’s WMDs used to justify Clinton bombing Iraq during his Impeachment to the fake claim that the 09-11-2012 Benghazi attack was a response to a video, the CIA has been manufacturing poltical lies for the DNC
You win the prize.
First we had “riots” but that faded out.
Then we had that recount, fizzled.
Then we had bribes and ominous threats to electors.
Of course now we have the Russians stealing the election.
I write fiction and I couldn’t write this stuff.
Yep, they knew recounts were a dud so they invented a new fake story. I wonder if they get tired of racking up failure after failure?
“with little evidence that they changed the overall outcome”
CBS = Dolts
Show us the “little evidence”
There’s a difference between “little evidence” and NO evidence...but CBS is a bit too slow to get that.
who knows? maybe the Soros money bought her attention and actions..
She got some good coin though.
An announcement by Wisconsin was at 3PM their time (4PM EST). Anyone have what it was or any links?
It's about TIME!!!.
Since the election, the Left has coped with delusion. “Somehow Trump really did not win...the recount will show Hillary really won...Trump will be stopped in the Electoral College..... The Russians rigged the election.....The Courts will prevent the Trump inauguration etc etc.” These people have been able to cope and function only because they cling to their delusions,fantasies and narrative. When the Electoral Collage certiies Trump officially on 12/19/16, sincerely expect to see overt psychosis on mass display. A large percentage of these people will require hospitalization, confinement or actual incarceration. No joke, it will be serious.
The recounts should have never started.
She had no standing.
the wisc board of elections tweeted out something about it being later tonight like 7
And I guarantee you it ain't over yet.
Democrats equal nothing but low life human scum & vermin!!! End of story!!! Go Donald J. Trump!!! Go USA!!! Go American nation!!! Go freedom, liberty, equality, opportunity!!!
NAIL ON HEAD. Next week it will be taxes for Trump.
The left have nothing, nada, zilch, zero. They are just acting like babies with this fake news.
In short, it turned into an expensive waste of time for everyone involved—and Jill Stein will soon be facing legal challenges from people who want their money back....
What about NO evidence of change in the results?
