Officials in the Obama administration threw cold water on the effort to recount votes in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania on Friday.
The effort was spearheaded by Green Party candidate Jill Stein, who echoed arguments that Russia may have hacked US voting machines to interfere with the outcome of the November 8 election.
A statement from the Obama administration cited by The New York Times acknowledged that the Kremlin likely expected the hacking of some Democratic Party entities in the run-up to Election Day to raise questions about the voting process and the legitimacy of President-elect Donald Trump's victory.
"Nevertheless, we stand behind our election results, which accurately reflect the will of the American people," the statement read.
Speculation that electronic voting machines could be hacked has largely been debunked, primarily because the machines are not connected to the internet.
Stein contended that this was a "hack-riddled election," that warrants a second look at the votes. Trump won by thin margins in the three states Stein aims to contest.
The Green Party sought to raise $7 million to fund the recount. Fundraising surpassed the $5 million mark on Friday. For her part, Stein only received one percent of the vote nationally.
Election officials in Wisconsin accepted a recount petition on Friday and announced that the effort was underway....

The Obama administration is quite aware of the fact that a manual recount in Pennsylvania will likely show hundreds of thousands of dead voters, illegal aliens and duplicative voters.
The fact that Barry backed down on TPP and Keystone tells me he knew and accepted that the next President was Trump on November 8. No way he does anything like that if he is in on a plan to overthrow the election.
She didn’t win any “states”.
She won RAT infested cities.
“Might be paid back to donors.”
That never happens. The Green Party will figure out a way to keep it, and/or the Clinton campaign are paying a good chunk of dough to finance this stealth recount effort, and the Green Party will get money that way too.
Not really. Voting is by machine in Pennsylvania. They have no paper record of the votes. They may recount the numbers on the machines, but it isn’t going to reveal anything new about the people who voted. They take the signature of who showed up to vote, but I doubt those will be looked at in a recount. Those would only be looked at in a court challenge to voter eligibility.
PRECISELY!!!! Any recount will screw the Demoncraps! LMAO!!!! I love how you think!
However, there is no connection between the machine count and the signatures of who showed up. So even if they found that “dead people” had shown up and signed in, they would have no way of identifying who that person voted for, so couldn’t remove any votes from the count.
but if they can figure out how to control any recounting, then they can still come out ahead
that’s the danger
Will she be like Bernie and buy the lake house right away?
I just saw that and wondered if this could be done when they do the recount therefore changing the original vote which favored Trump.
I do not think the election was hacked but do feel that are trying to do it now with this recount.
Considering the extreme steps that were taken to try and stop Trump this year, I don’t put any treachery past the establishment. Obama could be trying to distance himself publicly, but then act surprised when votes are mysteriously found for Hillary.
Guess I should stop worrying, they have this.
Maybe he already has a deal with Trump to hang hitlary out as the fall guy.
It's a position that will change when and if presented with indications of voter fraud. I have zero trust in what is happening.
This nonsense about Hillary and the popular vote is getting old. All of her two million votes came from Los Angels and Cook Counties.
One can only guess at how many of those votes are bogus. So, the idea that the American people really, really wanted Hillary is pure and utter BS. As is everything about the Clintons.
Yeah. That’s what I thought.
Thank you.
I wish I could stop worrying. I don’t put any treachery beyond the reach of Hitlery and her minions.
Does she mean that it was riddled with political hacks? because that would be true.
Jill Stein, you old slut whore. We know you are selling yourself as a decoy for the Clinton Foundation. Getting people to think the Russians beamed down from their satellites the hack for the elections is tin foil hat territory. We know the ruse. Get donations flowing in to fund the recount fees. Siphon off as much as you can to line your pockets. Pretend it is for the integrity and honesty to the voters. Remember, when you swim in the swamp with the Clintons, you will get dirty. Very dirty.
