Donald Trump attacks recount effort in election where 'millions voted illegally'
MSN ^ | 11/27/2016 | Edward Helmore

President-elect Donald Trump has continued his criticism of Hillary Clinton’s decision to back the attempt by Green party candidate Jill Stein to force election recounts in three states, saying he won the popular vote – in which he is more than 2m ballots behind Clinton – “if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally”.

Trump earlier called the recount effort a “scam”, while senior adviser Kellyanne Conway called Stein and Clinton “a bunch of crybabies and sore losers”.

Marc Elias, general counsel for the Clinton campaign, wrote on Saturday that the campaign would support Stein’s effort in Wisconsin, where a recount will take place. Stein is also pushing for recounts in Pennsylvania and Michigan and has raised more than $6m online to fund such efforts.

The decision put the Clinton camp at odds with the Obama White House, which has expressed confidence in election results.

On Saturday, Trump attacked Stein, using Twitter to say: “The Green Party scam to fill up their coffers by asking for impossible recounts is now being joined by the badly defeated [and] demoralized Dems.”

On Sunday morning, the president-elect fired off a volley of tweets, starting: “Hillary Clinton conceded the election when she called me just prior to the victory speech and after the results were in. Nothing will change.”

The president-elect then drew attention to a debate remark by Clinton after Trump refused to commit to accepting the election result, quoting her as saying: “That is horrifying. That is not the way our democracy works.

“Been around for 240 years. We’ve had free and fair elections. We’ve accepted the outcomes when we may not have liked them, and that is what must be expected of anyone standing on a during a general election.

Count me as very concerned. I keep my cool by remembering that Gore could not overcome a 1000 vote deficit in FL while H is behind 67000 votes in PA.
