Jill Stein Vows To Launch Recounts In More States To Ensure "Election Integrity"

Zero Hedge ^ | 11/28/2016

[SeekAndFind]

After drawing criticism from almost everyone for her recount efforts in WI, PA, & MI, Jill Stein is doubling down saying that she "would support efforts elsewhere to uphold election integrity."  Ironically, the only thing actually threatening our "election integrity" at the moment is Jill Stein's recount effort.

Experts pointed us towards WI, PA, & MI as the largest chance of fraud, but we would support efforts elsewhere to uphold election integrity. https://t.co/CypfEBc8Qn

Just yesterday we wrote a note asking why Jill Stein was pursuing these recount efforts (see "Is This The Democrats' Real Strategy In Launching Recounts?").  Certainly there is practically no hope of switching the ~100,000 votes that would be needed for Hillary to win WI, MI and PA and even the Obama administration and the Department of Homeland Security have confirmed that there is no evidence of election hacking.  Which left us to speculate that Stein is simply hoping to disrupt the electoral college process to push the 2016 election into the hands Congress while drawing the legitimacy of Trump's presidency into question.

Now, this morning we have a direct confirmation from Stein that her campaign has absolutely no proof of election tampering.  Explicit confirmation that all the disaffected Hillary supporters have been duped.

Everyone asks if hackers altered our election results. We don't know. #Recount2016 will assess systemic integrity. https://t.co/hjQkhgILMX

Meanwhile, basking in the glory of her 15 minutes of fame, Stein has launched a tweet storm lecturing everyone on how to create a real "democracy."

Clinton + Trump: Want democracy? Enact a national "right to vote" law to guarantee universal, automatic, permanent voter registration.

— Dr. Jill Stein (@DrJillStein) November 28, 2016

In a society w/ crooked politicians and businesspeople who don't pay their taxes, it's understandable people are skeptical of #Recount2016.

Clinton + Trump: Want democracy? Use verifiable paper ballots, and institute mandatory, automatic and random precinct recounts.

— Dr. Jill Stein (@DrJillStein) November 27, 2016

Clinton + Trump: Want democracy? Make Election Day a national holiday, so everyone has the opportunity to vote.

— Dr. Jill Stein (@DrJillStein) November 27, 2016

Clinton + Trump: Want democracy? Enact laws guaranteeing the presidency to whomever receives the most popular votes in all 50 states.

— Dr. Jill Stein (@DrJillStein) November 27, 2016

This is a good game, and we have another: "Jill Stein: Want Democracy? Don't steal millions of dollars from disaffected Hillary supporters to challenge elections where you have no evidence of election tampering and no chance of changing the outcome."

If I understand correctly, then easy state member of the house would vote by state. So the question would be how many states have more dem members than republicans?

[TaxRelief]

"Funded by soros" But for whom? Who stands to gain the most from this? I would say RINOS and career GOP members who want a controlling position in a Trump presidency. If the state elections are not certified by Dec. ? then Trump will not have the necessary 270 electoral votes to win, and the election must be settled by Congress. This is where the bargaining may get really ugly.

[TaxRelief]

" It is quite the strategic move on the progressive’s part as Republicans stand around trying to figure out what the hell they are doing." Unless a few RINOs are behind the whole thing. If so they would hold Trump's head over a barrel until they get promises of concessions and pork and controlling positions before agreeing to certify him in congress. Alternatively, there may be enough RINO votes in the sSenate on Hillary's side... and then we have a true crisis.

Loony tune needs a padded cell. This is NOT how our elections work, we are NOT the Soviet Union.

What is the bear supposed to do?

[TexasGator]

Soros!

[Eleutheria5]

Or they have dirt on her, or have offered her something substantial.

But let’s go for the most simple explanation.

Jill Stein: Wow! I ran for President. Everybody was paying attention to me and cared what I had to say. Now I’m not even mentioned in the news. Nobody recognizes me walking down the street. Don’t they know I’m a Presidential Candidate for the Green Party, the Party that will replace the decadent, hypocritical capitalist Democratic Party as soon as it implodes. Hey! Look at me! I’m a Presidential Candidate! Nobody’s looking. Should I streak? Nah. Out of style. I know. I’ll get some money together and demand recounts in several states. Then they’ll notice me again. Yeah! “Hello, George Soros?”

[okie01]

If the state elections are not certified by Dec. ? then Trump will not have the necessary 270 electoral votes to win, and the election must be settled by Congress.

Not so.

If the re-count delays certification of the vote past December 13, the date specified by the constitution, then the state legislature is empowered to appoint its own slate of electors.

It would be these electors who would vote in the Electoral College on December 19.

Given that Republicans control both houses of the legislatures in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, we know who they would be casting their EVs for.

Regardless of the state of the re-counts, all three states will be represented by electors and Trump will still end up with 306 EV.

[reasonisfaith]

Whatever the explanation is, as a socialist her primary strategy will be to lie about it.

[Verginius Rufus]

Why is she saying "the most popular votes in all 50 states"?

Why is she disfranchising the voters in the District of Columbia? Is it because Washington, DC, is 51% black?

Must be racism.

[TexasFreeper2009]

But liberals told us before the election to question the election results was unpatriotic !

[mdmathis6]

The legislatures of these states can take the matter up and direct where their electors can go...certified vote or not!

[madison10]

Loony tune translation: I need more $$$ from the Buttercup suckers.

[Terry Mross]

She wants a democracy? She wants majority rule? That means if a majority wants muslims kicked out, then they’re kicked out. If a majority wants all welfare to stop. It’s stopped.

Dr. Stein may be smart enough to become a doctor but she apparently barely passed high school history classes.

[redfreedom]

You have an interesting question. I do not know how that would turn out with regards to the one vote per state.

But, I just don’t think the recount will go beyond Wisconsin. Stein has to make her intentions look good. She will made a knowingly in vein effort for other recounts, but for legal reasons it will never happen.

The net result will be Trump as President, and thousands if not millions of disaffected Hitlery supporters that contributed to Stein get screwed out of their donations. This will make both Stein and Hitlery look bad considering Hitlery openly approved of Steins shenanigans.

For the left, there is no upside to this Stein adventure.

One person with money should NOT, not now, not ever, have the ability to upend and election for the entire nation by throwing a temper tantrum as this broad is attempting to do.

[TomasUSMC]

The more recounts the merrier, they will show coast to coast voter fraud by the democrats and run from the White House. ....but please hurry up so we can impeach Obama....only a few weeks left.

[Secret Agent Man]

She is working for both of them.

[taxcontrol]

This article is why I believe that we need a Constitutional Amendment that:

1) limits the right to vote in federal elections to US Citizens who are registered to vote, only
2) prohibits any form of automatic registration to vote
3) requires proof of identification and proof of residence in the state in order to register to vote
4) requires the states to maintain separate voter rolls for federal elections
5) limits the registration time period to vote from between March 2nd following a presidential election till October 1st prior to the presidential election.
6) Requires the States to removed everyone without exception from the State’s federal voter roll on March 1st that falls after a presidential election.
7) Requires the states to notify the gaining and loosing state when a citizen relocates within 30 days.
8) Requires each county within the state to notify the state of the death of a citizen within it’s boundaries and if the citizen is a resident of a different county, notify that county as well
9) Requires the state to remove any citizen from the voting rolls upon receipt of official death notification
10) Requires identification of citizenship and residence at the time of voting

I don’t think hacking is the problem

The actual problem is DEAD people voting & illegals & other non—eligible persons have been allowed to register & they should NOT be voting.

I believe the MOTOR VOTER laws are responsible for a large share of this improper registration to vote.

Also- there are immigration friendly groups in the USA that ‘help’ illegals get ‘paperwork’.

They need to be rooted out & prosecuted, also.

[ridesthemiles]

IF a state cannot certify their vote count, I think that those ‘electoral votes’ would have to be deducted from the total of 538

Therefore, the new number to get a majority of would be 528.

Then Trump only needs 265. Trump has 306 now—so then he would have 296 & still be the winner.

IF any states votes cannot be certified, then those electoral votes must be deducted & new number reached.
