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...Those states are Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, whose combined 46 electoral votes are enough to swing the result...
the scientists, led by University of Michigan computer scientist J. Alex Halderman, “so far have only a circumstantial case”
in all three states the deadline for requesting a recount is within the next week...
the theory here is that Russia hacked into the three states’ vote-counting systems and produced just enough votes for Trump (or destroyed enough for Mrs. Clinton) to give him the edge...we are supposed to believe that the Russians understood the politics of the Great Lakes region better than the operators of the vaunted Clinton machine did. ... preposterous on its face.
FiveThirtyEight’s Nate Silver: "Some *very* quick analysis which suggests the claim here of rigged results... is probably BS"...
the most likely explanation is that the polls were systematically wrong, rather than that the election was hacked.

Don’t be silly...they won’t request recounts in counties Hillary won.
> Can she legally do this since she conceded?
ALGORE tried to with recounts in Florida in 2000.
Ultraprogressive University of Michigan wants to get into big politics, eh? OK, bring it. Half of Michiganians are sick to death of their b-s, and I’ll wager are ready, finally, for a real fight with that group of girliemen, feminazis, queers and dopers.
That is exactly what I think.
They pulled out all the stops, and the Trump enthusiasm was so great they still could not beat him.
I saw lines longer than ever before in my 60 years... How could the total votes not be much creater percent than last election? When it was Ostupid -vs- Romney... Two of the least exciting candidates.
This must be a skit for SNL.
This is the kind of thing the Dems and press like to put out as propaganda. They know idiot civilian leftists upset over the election will use this “info” now on FB posts and elsewhere to “prove” Trump is somehow not legitimate. They will do whatever they can, as they did with GWB, to de-legitimize and undermine at every turn. It’s the same type of folks that put out that 9/11 was an inside job.
she’ll never do this
because
it will reveal all the hundreds of thousands of fake (and illegal and repeat and deceased voters’) D votes cast in Philadelphia and Detroit in particular
she’d only try this if she had control over the recount process so she could stuff more ballot boxes, something the American people won’t give her this time around
Yeah, the celebutards are tweeting like crazy for a recount now.
If she were sending up trial balloons this is how it would go. It seemed that she herself was behind the push to get Gore into the White House so she could continue, through him, her puppet master activity. Seemed that Gore and his wife were happy to go back to life before the Clintons, which was never really going to life before the clintons
And that race was a lot closer than this one. She, or whoever has the motivation for this, knows she’d need an enormous amount of popular support for it. I think there’s a lot more ‘hail Dorothy’ than any resurrection could overcome. That’s the tone I’m picking up
My wife gets all worked up over all of this crap that she sees on Facebook - I mean - waking me up in the early morning in tears exclaiming “They are calling for a recount! What are we going to do if Hillary gets elected!!??”
And then, for the fourth time explain to her how it works. (She understands, but then reads one more thing and it happens all over again.)
I told her to get off of Facebook. I was going to suggest FR, but the same topics come up here too.
These LIB idiots are insufferable. They all need stakes driven through their black, diseased hearts. Sheesh...Idiots.
Tens of thousands of words were written, expressing horror that DJT might not accept the election result. I guess they were projecting.
My guess, is that the DNC and Clinton’s had a plan to steal the election, and it backfired, and not only were they unable to hack into the results, they were hacked. It would be funny that an investigation might show that they were the ones who hacked into the system.
Button line, these people are bast*rds. They had their chance, they’re done.
The presidency will never again be job for two bit politician, puppets on a string.
Trump is assembling the best of the best.
I think you said it better than me.
I can't imagine any election lawyer is going to be able to keep a straight face when he stands up in court and claims that hackers are responsible for Hillary Clinton's loss in a state where she never make a single campaign appearance.
I wonder how many dead people voted?
