The Democrats’ real strategy in launching recounts
American Thinker ^ | November 27, 2016 | Richard Baehr

Posted on 11/27/2016 4:19:20 AM PST by NYer

The recount in Wisconsin, and coming ones in Michigan and Pennsylvania will not change the outcomes in any of the states.  No recount ever changes thousands of votes.  I do not think that is the purpose.

The recounts, if done by hand, which can be demanded, may take longer than the last day for completing official counts in a state and directing Electoral College voters.  If all 3 states miss the deadline, Trump is at 260, Hillary at 232.  No one hits 270.  

Then this goes to Congress, where the House voting 1 vote per state elects Trump, and Senate selects Pence. This would be first time this happened since 1824; in that case, John Quincy Adams won in the House, though he had fewer electoral college votes than Andrew Jackson.  

If this goes to the US House and Senate, and the result is the same as from the Electoral College without the recounts, why do it?  The answer is to make Trump seem even more illegitimate, that he did not win the popular vote  (he lost by over 2.1 million), he did not win the Electoral College (did not reach 270), and was elected by being inserted into the presidency by members of his own party in Congress.

The recount in Wisconsin, and the coming ones in Michigan and Pennsylvania will not change outcomes in any of the states.  No recount ever changes thousands of votes.  I do not think that's the purpose.

The recounts, if done by hand, which can be demanded, may take longer than the last day for completing the official counts in a state and directing Electoral College voters.  If all 3 states miss the deadline, Trump is at 260, Hillary at 232.  No one hits 270.

>>If I am right and this really all about keeping PizzaGate off the front pages, then Maine’s delegation will vote clinton/kaine.<<

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Sadly, there is no coverage of PizzaGate. So far, it appears too hot to touch even for DRUDGE, and Reddit has banned it. I suspect mods here at FR are ambivalent as well.

Frankly, I think most of the info has been wrung out of the Podesta emails; but, unless the Trump DoJ gets involved, that’s all we will ever see.

FOR those who don’t know:
Now that the Code Words are broken, the Podesta emails are FULL of REFERENCES to young boys and young girls. Disgusting child porn “Art” is everywhere—in the restaurants, in the homes of the principals, such as John Podesta’s brother. One piece even glorifies pedophile serial killer, Jeffrey Dahmer. John Podesta openly involved in occult rituals (”Spirit cooking”) and displays occult symbols on his hands in a photo from the emails. There are photos of actual children in bondage, in the restaurant. There is a picture of an apparent KILL room.
Both Clintons as well as Obama and Soros are SMACK IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS HORROR SHOW.

Nothing to see here, folks.

If Trump takes office, I am sure that he will condemn the actions as a threat to the nation.

Pennsylvania’s recount is not automatic. It’s not ‘pay the fee’ (with standing) and get the recount. In PA, you have to get past a court. So this entire theory — interesting though it may be — hinges on a Pennsylvania judicial ruling. Hillary needs to flip all 3 or at least keep them from being counted. Pennsylvania might not play that game.

You’ve been watching how this goes for years. PA will play that game. It has been arranged.

Depends on the judge. PA has had a Republican senate for a long time. PA law enforcement was very active pursuing activist vote fraud efforts during the run-up to this election. Somebody was signing those warrants.

I would do this another way. I would force Stein to release her donor list prior to the recount. I would say that since the intended goal is to seek votes which will change the election, the 2k maximum donation rule for a single candidate needs to stay in effect.

"Pennsylvania’s recount is not automatic. It’s not ‘pay the fee’ (with standing) and get the recount. In PA, you have to get past a court."

Does anyone know, in PA., does one only have to get a court ruling in a single county (based on evidence of fraud) for the entire Sate to be recounted, or does that only apply to that single county?

If Stein needs to go county by county it might be impossible to get a recount in PA.

Thank you for posting those details. I've been saying the same thing here for two days.

There's a lot of confusion among Freepers about that election because it's pretty much accepted that there was rampant fraud involved. But the fraud didn't involve the recount process at all. It involved questionable voter registrations, and documented cases of felons voting illegally.

It's much easier for a shady campaign team to steal an election before Election Day through fraudulent registrations, and on Election Day through fraudulent voting. Once the ballots are collected it is very hard to steal an election unless it is very close and you can play around with disqualified/contested ballots.

Dude — if it was that easy, then Democrats would be doing it with boring regularity in every election.

RECOUNTS ARE GOOD

Bring those recounts on, double ‘em and triple ‘em.

The are only going to show the massive voter fraud employed by the Democratic Alt-Left Regressive Party in Madison Wisconsin, Philly Pa., and good old Detroit Michigan....

plus

Weakileaks will have to change its name to WeakiFLOOD because of the email tidal wave this is gonna bring....and this time will lead back to a little white house in D.C.

Odumbi don’t want dat.

Go ahead Jill Stein......AND MAKE MY DAY.

Yes, there was a ballot box found inside the trunk of a car in heavily Democratic Cook County. Seem to recall a couple hundred ballots. Enough to give Franken his margin of victory.

Hillary was appalled that anyone would challenge our election process.

I apologize for my pessimism. I will try to find some optimism, but it is hard...

It’s all ‘noise’ at this point. Trump will be President or else. Everybody knows it. And when you realize that, you realize the Democrats are up to their usual “Small Ball” strategy. They know that Trump holds the high hand. It was the same during Bush v. Gore. Bush held the high hand then, too.

Trump needs to put the entire effort of the new FBI, CIA and the DOJ into investigating ALL of them

Well, he's got to get there first.

If anyone for one minute has doubts about this I urge them to watch this youtube regarding the BoysTown (Nebraska) scandal about this very topic.

Warning it is not for the faint of heart.
