Experts Urge Clinton Campaign to Challenge Election Results in 3 Swing States [FLASHBACK 2016 Election]

(*Remember Trump/Clinton 2016 when some computer analysts claimed there was a anomaly in voting and Jill Stein made millions on the recount?)

Hillary Clinton is being urged by a group of prominent computer scientists and election lawyers to call for a recount in three swing states won by Donald Trump, New York has learned. The group, which includes voting-rights attorney John Bonifaz and J. Alex Halderman, the director of the University of Michigan Center for Computer Security and Society, believes they’ve found persuasive evidence that results in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania may have been manipulated or hacked. The group is so far not speaking on the record about their findings and is focused on lobbying the Clinton team in private.

Last Thursday, the activists held a conference call with Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta and campaign general counsel Marc Elias to make their case, according to a source briefed on the call. The academics presented findings showing that in Wisconsin, Clinton received 7 percent fewer votes in counties that relied on electronic-voting machines compared with counties that used optical scanners and paper ballots. Based on this statistical analysis, Clinton may have been denied as many as 30,000 votes; she lost Wisconsin by 27,000. While it’s important to note the group has not found proof of hacking or manipulation, they are arguing to the campaign that the suspicious pattern merits an independent review — especially in light of the fact that the Obama White House has accused the Russian government of hacking the Democratic National Committee.

(* Remember Bush/Gore 2000 when it was claimed Jews in Florida had mistakenly voted for Pat Buchanan and it was evidence of voting anomalies worthy of investigating?)

Hanging chads, butterfly ballots, the antics of Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris, and thousands of Jews accidentally voting for Pat Buchanan in Palm Beach were among the stories that captured the headlines during the chaotic 36-day Florida recount between Al Gore and George W. Bush. The widespread and wrongful purging of registered voters was the most consequential—and least discussed—aspect of the Florida election.

They thought that sHrillary was such a shoo-in that the Democratic vote-stealing machine was running at low speed in 2016.

The last thing sHrillary wanted was to contest that election and have what little vote stealing that occurred to be exposed.

The massive Trump vote this year forced the Democratic vote-stealing machine to pause, regroup, and go into overdrive.

It is the sheer number of votes that they had to generate/steal/switch to overcome Trump's legitimate votes that will (hopefully) be their ultimate downfall.

the witch didn’t pursue challenges because she knew it would turn up Rat poison, probably on a massive scale...

The Witch did not pursue any challenge, but the thorn in her side, Jill Stein did. And when Jill Stein won her challenge to conduct a Michigan recount, it ended very quickly. As quick as the recount results in Detroit precincts began to show more votes than registered voters.

Precisely! They just didn’t cheat enough in 2016. Challenges were far more likely to expose their cheating than anything the Trump campaign or RNC might have done.

It doesn’t work when the only fraud they might find is yours.
