Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein on Wednesday called for a recount in three key states — Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania — and appeared to quickly raise more than the $2.2 million her campaign said was needed to pay for the recounts.
“After a divisive and painful presidential race, in which foreign agents hacked into party databases, private email servers, and voter databases in certain states, many Americans are wondering if our election results are reliable,” Stein said in a statement on her campaign website.
“That’s why the unexpected results of the election and reported anomalies need to be investigated before the 2016 presidential election is certified. We deserve elections we can trust.”
The fundraising effort sought to collect at least $2.2 million, which Stein’s campaign said would be enough to pay for costs associated with filing for recounts. It sought to raise the money by 4 p.m. central time Friday, or one hour before the deadline to request a recount in Wisconsin, which has the earliest deadline of the three states.
Wasted money.
Won’t change the outcome but stupid cow Jill Stein likes to waste money on a pointless bid in forcing states to recount every last vote.
That is - if they accept a petition.
The one thing they won’t do is check citizenship.
What should have been happening since Tuesday is the Trump campaign should be out front mocking Hillary for putting Stein up to this, and calling on her to denounce the undermining of American democracy as she so eloquently pointed out in the third debate.
“Michigan has paper ballots everywhere, so not even sure what claim is being made there” — Nate Silver at that link
There are definitely paper ballots in PA. Maybe not everywhere. Color in the circles and put it into a machine that adds them up.
Hillary Clinton Verified account @HillaryClinton Trump wouldn't say if he'll accept the outcome of the election. That’s horrifying—but part of a pattern.
Hillary Clinton Verified account @HillaryClinton Our democracy is built on fair elections and peaceful transfer of power. Trump can't threaten that just because he can't handle reality.
If this is allowed to proceed they will steal this election from Trump for sure.
Well did they file the papers to request a recount? Plus I don’t what the Wisconsin rules are but she was soooo far behind how does she get to ask for a recount?
Commies always hang together
NOW the Left takes vote fraud seriously, lol. Their hypocrisy knows no bounds, but if they do try to pull this stunt, they will learn the true meaning of pushback.
fairly sure they can do that on one hand.
we should make sure they do.. (we can still hang people after conviction right?)
I hope the Trump people are watching this crap closely. It never pays to underestimate your enemy. This bogus action is probably Soros funded, and Trump should go to state courts to have this nonsense stopped before it gets to be a big deal. This pathetic shill woman clearly has no standing to demand a recount since she has no chance of improving her position in the election no matter what the result of a recount shows. Stop the BS now!!
PLEASE DO THIS.
My magazines are full.
They steal the election, we steal the country back BY FORCE.
As you know the Rats NEVER quit. They will try to create as much discord and doubt as they can now. They think they have nothing to lose...
EXACTLY! The Rats don’t eat a recount because they think they are going to lose. THey WANT IT beCause THEY ARE CHEATING AND THEY THINK THEY CAN “win”. (Forgive The caps, Phone aCTING up).
Lol, she didn’t raise a dime. Clinton GAVE it to her. This is all so transparent, last effort move by Clinton to perform a soft coup.
Anyone who thinks Clinton is going away is mistaken, I think.
Why not?
