Jill Stein prepares to request election recounts in battleground states
Guardian via MSN ^ | 11/23/2016 | Jon Swaine

Jill Stein, the Green party’s presidential candidate, is prepared to request recounts of the election result in several key battleground states, her campaign said on Wednesday.

Stein launched an online fundraising page seeking donations toward a $2m fund she said was needed to request reviews of the results in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

Stein said she was acting due to “compelling evidence of voting anomalies” and that data analysis had indicated “significant discrepancies in vote totals”.

Her move came amid calls for recounts or audits of the election results by groups of academics and activists concerned that foreign hackers may have interfered with election systems.

Donald Trump won unexpected and narrow victories against Hillary Clinton in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and may yet win Michigan, where a result has not yet been declared.

The loose coalition of academics and activists, which is urging Hillary Clinton’s campaign to join its fight, is preparing to deliver a report detailing its concerns to congressional committee chairs and federal authorities, according to two people involved.

Sure, because she’s a serious contender to win it.

Stealing from the Instapundit:

They told me if I voted for Trump, there would be questions about the legitimacy of the election and they were right.

The only anomaly is the fraud for Hillary... they seriously start honestly looking for fraud in these states, they will find it by the boatload, but it won’t be for Trump.

I thought Jill viewed Trump as less dangerous in terms of military adventures than Hillary. Why would she want a recount? It’s not as if Jill is going to win these states, or the Presidency.

Hillary cut her a check to do the recount so if it doesn’t pan out HRC doesn’t look like she was desperate.

More evidence of the loony left wildly doing everything possible to stop Trump. It hasn’t succeeded before and it won’t succeed now.

Halderman, the University of Michigan computer security expert, noted that this Friday is the deadline for requesting a recount in Wisconsin, where Trump’s winning margin stands at 0.7%. In Pennsylvania, where his margin is 1.2%, the deadline falls on Monday. In Michigan, where the Trump lead is currently just 0.3%, the deadline is Wednesday 30 November.

And given tomorrow is a holiday in Wisconsin, they are running out of time in a hurry.

This is a good time to investigate vote fraud though. Penn. would be a good place to start.

She would need to pay for a recount.

Certification deadlines arrive Friday, Monday and next Wednesday.

They have a shot in MI but WI and PA is more than the margin of error.

No wonder she’s pitching for money.

Looks like they found some more votes in Detroit. Since today is the deadline, can we hope that they have to stop finding more fraudulent votes there?
