Clinton campaign lawyer Marc E. Elias gave the scheme away in an article published Saturday morning at Medium announcing Clinton would join the recount effort in Wisconsin by Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein and that Clinton would join Stein should she also file for recounts in Michigan and Pennsylvania.
Elias wrote that starting the day after the election the Clinton campaign worked to find ways to reverse Trump’s election.
Elias’ statement:
…we have quietly taken a number of steps in the last two weeks to rule in or out any possibility of outside interference in the vote tally in these critical battleground states.
First, since the day after the election we have had lawyers and data scientists and analysts combing over the results to spot anomalies that would suggest a hacked result. These have included analysts both from within the campaign and outside, with backgrounds in politics, technology and academia.
Second, we have had numerous meetings and calls with various outside experts to hear their concerns and to discuss and review their data and findings. As a part of this, we have also shared out data and findings with them. Most of those discussions have remained private, while at least one has unfortunately been the subject of leaks.
Third, we have attempted to systematically catalogue and investigate every theory that has been presented to us within our ability to do so.
Fourth, we have examined the laws and practices as they pertain to recounts, contests and audits.
Fifth, and most importantly, we have monitored and staffed the post-election canvasses — where voting machine tapes are compared to poll-books, provisional ballots are resolved, and all of the math is double checked from election night. During that process, we have seen Secretary Clinton’s vote total grow

I believe the Michigan GOP, led by Romney’s niece and Priebus’s successor as RNC chair, is asking for volunteers and donations.
Not thrilled with a Romney family member assuming the reins of the RNC.
Still, hoping Trump listens to his loyalists and rejects this crazy idea of Mittens for Secretary of State as well.
This only shows how weak our elective process seems to be, that any disgruntled candidate can upend the applecart at will. Why did WI have to agree on a recount? And what about MI and PA? do they also roll over and give up? That Hillary is evil is known, but that it was so easy for her to get a recount comes as a surprise.
Trump needs Manafort again.
All US elections require seed cash. No poor person can become President.
Combined, in those 3 states, Hillary won by ~6.3 million.
***************
Go check Los Angeles County, California and they had
something approaching 1.4 million of the total.
The election is over. Donald Trump won.
These countless recount threads are BS.
I remember that. Christine Grigoire was the Dim, and it took three “recounts” for the Dims to “find” just enough votes to give her the win.
Do they have any idea the kind of revolt they would have on their hands if they were successful at “finding votes”?
Uh, no.
It doesn't matter which candidate gets the MOST electoral votes in a disputed election. If a presidential candidate doesn't get 270 electoral votes, then the president is elected in a special House election where each state gets one vote. The Republicans have majorities in most House delegations.
Just as we saw in 2000, there are so many hurdles to a Clinton victory here that they shouldn't even bother pursuing these silly recounts.
Trump should direct his NSA, DOJ and FBI to take her into custody at a secret location and try her for treason based upon her prior activities while at State.
And Trump and his supporters were lectured about how everyone was supposed to accept the outcome of the election.
Of course, that was on the presumption that THEY were going to be the winners.
I wish that every time someone said something about a recount, people would respond with *But Hillary said that we were supposed to accept the outcome of the election*.
Yes! 2000 election Gore Vs Bush.
Breitbart commentator said Jill Stein talked about recounts back in August during an interview with the Young Turks.
Once they vet every voter’s nationality to determine if they are eligible to vote, there will be a net loss of ballots to count.
Whereas until now many, but not all, Trump supporters I know have have favored a modified clemency approach to forestall a sweeping pardon by Obama and salvage national unity, this new development I predict will stiffen everyone’s resolve to demand the maximum attainable penalty for this woman’s and her husband’s 30 year criminal assault, first on the people of Arkansas, and then on the people of all the United States.
maybe you really mean from some who play a whole lot cleaner than her?
playing dirtier won’t come up with a win, just a manipulation.
She’s funding that recount effort.............
Stein/H3ll are costing people their Christmas money.
Candidates have no standing to petition county boards for recounts, individual citizens would have to do that in every county. The only kind of a recount that a candidate has standing to pursue is a statewide recount, and unless that is a mandatory threshold recount (<0.5% in PA) it must always be ordered by a court.
That was my state, Washington....democrat gov, SOS.
Well, Duh. Of course she did.
