Officials in the Obama administration threw cold water on the effort to recount votes in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania on Friday.

"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....

And dead.
How secure are those machines now that the election is over. Is their secure chain of custody?
What happens to the votes and the machines once the election is over? At this late date is there a secure chain of custody?
If voter fraud is found , in any great quantity, it would destroy the DemoRAT meme that there is no cheating
and that there is no voter fraud, at all. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
BING BADDA BING!

( Trump won despite their cheat!)
Since the polls closed in Michigan the democrat s have been adding new ballots by the truckload I am sure.
Probably understands that he and the Dims have much more to lose with this farce than they stand to gain - added scrutiny is never good for them.
He wants them GONE...If Obama wants to be leader of dem party,can’t have Clinton’s and cronies around..
Stein gets wisconsin..Obama signaled to the other 2 states,no go...They won’t do it..Wonder how pissed dems will be when Stein gets to keep money
He really, really still hates the Clintons, doesn't he.

This.
Bobo knows Jill will use that money against DEMOCRATS.
I suspect that the winds of change in DC may have shifted too much for Barry to do otherwise.
Except for Nutjob Neera, the rest of the Cankelites know that every penny Jill gets in excess will be used against them, not the GOP.
The funding is coming from Soros and the sizable TDS tumor on the body politic. Probably some Tedlims too lol...

The recount will happen. The Obama administration saying this is like him saying they support the Trump presidency while behind the scenes working with protesters
“In my precinct, where I have been both a clerk and judge of elections for many years until recently, we have optically scanned paper ballots which are retained.”
I read last night in some completely authoritative MSM article that Pennsylvania is one of the few states that have no paper trail of votes. Looks like this is a case of the blind leading the blind.
The fact that Stein is not laughed out of the country when she pretends altruistic motives for what she is doing reflects the make-believe bubble multitudes are living in.
Jill Stein = Susan Rice = paid patsy
Not that they don't both deserve blame for putting world civilization into a tailspin. I'm just point out that the victor writes the history.
