Jill Stein to formally file for Wisconsin recount - UPDATE - PETITION FILED
The Guardian ^ | 11/25/2016 | Amanda Holpuch

Posted on 11/25/2016 9:57:05 AM PST by dirtboy

Jill Stein, the green party’s candidate in the US presidential election, is due to formally file a motion for a recount in Wisconsin on Friday as her funding effort for counting the votes again in three states passed $4.9m.

As more money flooded in for her effort – which aims to fund recounts in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, all states where Donald Trump narrowly beat Hillary Clinton – she admitted she had no hard evidence of fraud but said the systems were vulnerable.

Her campaign team said it would formally file in Wisconsin before the 5pm ET deadline to do so; the recount motion deadlines for the other two states are next week.

The fundraising site explained that Stein’s campaign “could not guarantee” any of these states would have a recount. “We can only pledge we will demand recounts in those states,” the site said. “If we raise more than what’s needed, the surplus will also go toward election integrity efforts and to promote voting system reform.”

Her effort has split liberals, with some energized by the potential to show defeated Democrat Clinton is the rightful election winner, and those who see Stein’s intervention as an expensive gimmick to promote the Green party.

On Friday, Stein said she was acting due to “compelling evidence of voting anomalies” and that data analysis had indicated “significant discrepancies in vote totals” that were released by state authorities.

“We do not have a smoking gun,” Stein told CNN. “On the other hand, we have a system that invites hacking, tampering and malfeasance”.

Hard to say. He would be getting a second chance to “get it right” if he were crooked in the first place. He’s enjoyed the favor of the state for over 30 years. He owes Hillary no favors: she never campaigned there and he’s seen both parties come and go. It’d be a lesson to Democrats going forward that you can’t take Wisconsin’s 10 Electoral votes for granted. If you want a Blue Wall, gotta maintain it!

Democrats assured us 1. there is no voter fraud and 2. you MUST accept the outcome of the election. So what happened? Oh yeah, they got their asses handed to them. Those rules apply only if they win

They can be stupid Base no one knows about it and the media is hiding it.

Bots have automatically donated to Jill Stein websites for the recount. check this out:

Soros and Hillary are paying for the recount.

An automated bot paid for most of the recount

This robot couldn’t have gained access to the donation website without Stein’s cooperation which proves collusion between Soros, Hillary and Stein

I’m a coder and a bot can’t get access to a website without the website allowing it. You’ve all seen those prove your are not a robot tests?

Let’s try this again. These are contributions to a candidate for federal office. These contributions are going directly to the candidate’s campaign. They are subject to campaign contribution limits and strict reporting requirements.

Again, as I said before, it is FAR more likely that they made a script to fake the total amount of contributions than it is for using a ‘bot’ - why bother? First, why bother welcoming a bot? You know you’ll have to account for all those contributions, and it is a heck of a lot of work to manufacture loads of names (and industries) for your FEC filing. Since they can simply hand money to the ‘Jill Stein Defense Fund for Legitimate Voting’ and skip the whole disclosure thing, again, it’s a whole lot of work for zero gain.

While I appreciate that you’ve latched onto this concept, you’ve missed the most basic tenet of liberalism: Lie about what you’ve got. I see absolutely no reason why it wouldn’t apply to campaigns, since we’ve seen it before.

Seems like you want us all to relax. do you know everything Soros has planed Remember they passed Obmacare on Christmas . is this a coincidence they are passing this WI recount when Americans and Trump think the election is over on Thanksgiving? Soros fingerprints all over this and they are doing all this for what? All these billions and all these people he's paying and you know more than all that .right?/.

I’ m a coder.Soros could have 1000’s of bots . you talking down the wrong person.

The web master had to let all Soro’s bots in . We don't know all the details. We do know Stein just raised more in 2 days than all the campaign and exactly $160,000 per hour at 3 am yesterday. yeah you know everything, right?

bots can't figure out the “prove your’e not a robot” tests without having knowledge of the test’s code.

It's obvious you are not a coder. Soros could have thousands of bots or even botnets in the USA . I just said bot because people don't know what botnets etc. are . You have no clue what hackers can do which is practically anything with botnets taking over any PC in the USA..

Why? Three corrupt state governments run by Democrats, and multiple known corrupt counties and precincts. What is to keep them from “finding” new votes for Hillary in the recount?

I’m glad you think that obvious, as you are completely wrong. But let’s delve back into your fantasy... Who is going to put their signature down on the falsified FEC filing and risk going to jail to hide the origin of the bots posing as donors? They can’t put it down as a bulk donation; they have to match the records of contributions to the contributor.

Again, if it is just a big check from Soros, just give it to a PAC or other non-hard money campaign cash dump.

The website in question are contributions directly to the campaign, the most restrictive (and record intensive) form of political contribution.

Occam’s razor: The simplest explanation is usually the correct one.

A script to change the numbers every minute or so to inflate contributions (there’s no federal requirement preventing campaigns from lying about how much fictional money they receive) is the most likely explanation for the steady increase in donations reported on the website, even in the middle of the night.

How much voter fraud have democrats gotten away with the media covering for them.

Hackers can create botnets with 1000’s of hacked computers sending donations to Stein's site all form the USA and untraceable , disguising ip, proxies etc.. This plan has been in a backup by Soros how has unlimited billions

A) The recount actually has to take place, B) The recount and manufacturing of votes has to occur within a limited amount of time and ultimately, C) The entire point of this exercise is to tie up the electors from those states by not having certified results. No 270 electors for Trump is the goal, thinking they can fight it in congress.

Ultimately, the first part is the biggest challenge - state law permits the petition for recount, now they have to fight in all 126 localities the actual forcing of a recount against a very simple statement 'there's no rational way for 1,000,000+ votes to appear out of no where for Jill Stein. She is punishing others for their success at the polls and attempting to disrupt the process and has zero evidence to require a recount.' Every candidate can object to the recount, and all it takes is the board in each locality to agree with simple facts and it is done in that location.

Please spend three minutes and look up the terms:

Hard money
Federal Elections Commission reporting requirements
Limits on campaign contributions
Perjury

If these contributions were coming from random IP botnet locations, they have to falsely declare who the contribution is from. They must provide a name and address and phone number and industry for each contribution. All of them will be reported and very easy to discover if they fabricated the information.

Further, the person who compiles the FEC statements has to certify it under penalty of perjury. That means if they saw 30,000 donations from Joe Person at 123 Main Street in 29,000 different zip codes, they would be guilty of perjury if they tried to file that campaign finance statement.

Finally, and one last time: All Soros has to do is write a check to any soft money source for any amount he desires. To do what you suggest would be so incredibly stupid as it would be a criminal conspiracy to commit a federal felony; he and everyone associated with it would face stiff federal penalties.

“Jill Stein has no chance of winning, her request should be denied.”

Yes, I agree. Now, if Hillary Clinton was to request a recount because she thought she was the true winner that would be one thing. But I don’t see where Stein has any more standing than the next Joe Schmoe. So, agreed, no recount at her request. Not unless she’s got some proof of massive fraud, which, in fact, she does not.

She really needs to go away, because when you are making Hillary Clinton look dignified and classy you are really screwing up life.
