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.

I wouldn’t relax until Trump takes the oath of Office.

Never relax. The Liberals will always be gunning for him, literally.

“No wonder she’s pitching for money.”

You would think Hitlary/Soros Inc. would “jump” at the chance to do this.

Come on man, she is 1000 percent behind hillary now. That was a sound bite during the election to get a few more votes.

Of those three states, Trump needs only one. Wisconsin will do nicely.

Jill is a smart woman in a princess-world of her own.

I was briefly acquainted (through a mutual friend, now a conservative Freeper) with her some 30 years ago. A mild-mannered know it all who smilingly knew best.

She is intelligent, but also blind to anything outside of her adopted Green/Left mindset. I saw her in an interview on FOX during the campaign, and she was excellent at diagnosing existing problems, but her proposed solutions were 100% off the wall. And, I would agree, they were much closer to a Bernie/Clinton position than a Trump position.

Jill, you’re still not competitive in any state.

You can count on that.

Sure. Somebody somewhere has to be holding back the 65 million ballots that will make her president and she’s determined to find out who ...

When Podesta came out and said, we are continuing to count the votes, and every vote counts, go home, I figured we were in for another recount like in 2000.

Was very surprised when Trump came out a short time later, and said that Clinton had called to congratulate him. I expected her to fight tooth and nail.

I am not sure what happened behind the scenes, but it seems that there is a difference of opinion between her staff and the Clintons. This would make sense, if the Clintons were told their number was up, and the only way out was to accept the results, or face prosecution.

That would mean that the top staff who are involved wind up being swinging, while the Clintons skate. So naturally, they want the recount, so they can produce the additional votes, they were trying to manufacture that night.

Just one possible scenario.

"other than her strong opposition to HilLIARy, Jill proved herself to be a complete flake in the campaign"

Nowhere near as flakey as Gary Johnson and Bill Weld, two far left democrats posing as "moderate" republicans and running as libertarians. Bill Weld actually ENDORSED Hillary during the campaign. Those two cucks pretty much destroyed any sliver of credibility that the Libertarian party might have had.

yes, the Lib candidates were neither Lib nor conservative this year

and the D candidate (with the previous one) have destroyed any credibility the D party may have had, tooo

the D’s really really need to kick the SorosNazi/IslamoNazi/communist left cabal out of the DNC, take back their party, and nominate respectable decent Americans instead of foreign infiltrator enemy agents and Americans who are sold out to the enemy

It used to be you could, if you wished, vote D without having to worry you were putting an enemy agent or a sold-out traitor in the WH

I don’t think she has standing to request/require a recount because most states require that a recount has a chance of making a difference in the outcome for the person requesting the recount. She obviously has no chance of winning in any of the states she is requesting a recount.

Ahhh, fraud for Hillary. Now that makes sense as to why linked article below reports the current administration does not want Hildabeast to contest the election. If there are only a couple of counties that this article sees as suspect, does every county have to recount and verify voters in a state?
