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.

Dead is dead. Final.
I suppose those “geeks” want to write the programs that do the counting as well. They will not and do not get it, SHE LOST!
Interesting link. Thanks.
If they'd listened to Salena Zito of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review rather than their pollsters, they'd have known what was about to happen.
Conceding has no legal binding.
Just more trying to delegitimize his win. I will happily welcome any honest statewide investigation into voter fraud any day in PA. Guarantee it will find at least 100k worth of votes for the D that are illegal minimal.
On the day that clinton is convicted on crimes against the United States, let all those who voted for the felon in the election step forward to be recounted.
prominent computer scientists and election lawyers HAHAHAHA
I don’t know how the votes are tallied in the three states mentioned in the article, but in Georgia the voting machines are not networked. Each precinct counts its votes separately and then reports them to the county election board which, in turn, reports them to the secretary of state.
Is the proposed recount going to exclude Detroit and other cities with Democrat governments? An honest recount in the cities must produce a whole lot more Trump votes and a whole lot fewer Clinton votes. How are they going to honestly recount the votes that registered as “Clinton” when “Trump” was marked?
“There are sporadic reports of people who registered to vote in the 1960s and still do - meaning lots of 100+ year old voters.”
How does that compute? I was eligible to vote at age 21 in 1965 and I have 28 years left before I hit 100.
“Any chance we could egg them on to do it??”
Yes, we can fabricate a story that a warehouse in Chicago filled with Hillary ballots burned to the ground, proving that Hillary won the election.
Weasel phrases and words like "group," but only a single name is provided; 50 can be a group as well as 4. "prominent" is always in the eyes of the of the beholder and usually meaningless to everyone else.
Pure propaganda. A tiny insignificant group, spouting nonsense, and counting on the fact that 75% of the readers are both ignorant and, well, dull and; no other way to phrase it, stupid.
Time to repudiate that absurd "consent decree," or to make it applicable to ALL parties.
If not now that the Hillarite crimes have been documented, when?
Obamamath?
I voted the same year that I qualified to do so.
I am not 110+ years old.
I have voted in every election since then.
