I was one of the people rolling their eyes when I first heard about this, however, I’m beginning to get a little nervous. They just have to make sure they don’t complete the recount before the Dec. 13th deadline in order to get Wisconsin’s Electoral votes thrown out. I assume that’s the plan for Michigan and Pennsylvania as well. There’s no way Jill Stein raised over $5 million on her own for this effort in a matter of a few days. She’s obviously acting as a front for George Soros and the Clinton campaign.
If the recount is not complete at the time the constitution requires certification, the state legislature is empowered to assign the electors to whichever candidate they prefer.
Given that both houses of the legislature in all three states are controlled by Republicans, Trump will not be denied any electoral votes by this ploy.
