Jill Stein Demands Donald Trump End ‘Intimidation’ Against Vote Recount Efforts
The New York Observer ^ | December 5, 2016 | Madina Toure

Posted on 12/05/2016 12:46:31 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Dr. Jill Stein, along with her campaign staff and fellow Green Partiers, came all the way to Trump Tower this morning to blast his “anti-verification campaign” and tell him to stop spreading false information her recount efforts in three swing states.

Early Monday morning, the Stein campaign announced that a federal judge in Michigan granted the campaign’s emergency request to immediately start the statewide recount. On Nov. 28, the campaign said Pennsylvanian voters filed recount requests in more than 260 precincts across the state and two days ago that it would file for emergency relief in federal court to demand a statewide recount. The Stein campaign also filed a recount petition in Wisconsin on Nov. 25, requesting that a statewide hand recount that started on Thursday.

Stein sought again to distinguish her efforts to audit the vote from Trump’s claims ineligible individuals cast ballots—a point she made when she spoke to the Observer at the National Women’s Political Caucus of NYC’s 2016 New York State Conference of Civically Engaged Women on Friday.

“We are here to assure Donald Trump that there is nothing to be afraid of,” Stein said. “If you believe in democracy, if you believe in the credibility of your victory, put down your arms, end your bureaucratic obstruction, end your intimidation and join we the people of America who are calling for a democracy that serves all of us and elections that we can trust.”(continued)

She's not crazy. She's figured out how things work.

She couldn't get publicity to save her life when she was a threat to Hillary's election.

Now that she's taking on Trump the news cameras just love her and the money is rolling in.

Minor party campaigns with no chance to win are one part sacrificial lambs and one part vanity projects.

The candidates are determined and devoted to their cause and willing to look ridiculous for it.

But underneath that willingness to sacrifice oneself for the cause, there can be some massive egos and need for attention.

This is her moment and she's milking it for all she can get out of it.

Stupid ho. So she’s allowed to have a legal position on it even though she has no realistic standing, but if he does, even though he DOES have standing, and is right on the merits, he’s “intimidating”??

I found it rather appalling when the Dr. of Deceit told Chis Wallace on Fox News Sunday that she was unable to audit any states that Hillary had won by narrow margins because the audit period had expired! If she was so concerned about the rights of American voters she should have initiated the recount before that happened! The word of the day is Contrived!

Did she get 1 percent of the vote. It is a testimony to the power of the media that she hasn’t disappeared already.

Maybe Hilly told her she was up for a ride to Fort Marcy Park, if she didn’t pull this off for her.

Jill should defecate in one hand & put her demands of Trump in the other.

It’s a ploy to put the states in a position where the nobody has the electoral votes on the day that the Electoral College is supposed to vote. The narrower margin would make Trump vulnerable to “faithless electors” where one or more of his electors are RINOs who will vote for Hillary

Why shouldn’t he care? She is attempting to disenfranchise those who vote for him.

I think the recounts are aimed at the Federal Court they knew would end up overseeing a case, especially ‘cause “someone” is POed for losing them to Mr. Trump. SHE thought SHE deserved them. IMO they ALWAYS planned to take the recount that as far as Federal Court and the Obama appointee. They are a few steps ahead of our states.
