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

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.
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.
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."
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."

It looks like she has stumbled on a real money maker.

Question...
Since no recount could possibly result in Jill Stein winning, why does she have any legal standing to call for one?

So lets say the WI recount does not meet the deadline, then most likely WI electoral votes will not count. Not true.
If the re-count is not completed in time to meet the constitution's requirement for certification on 12/13, the state legislature is empowered to appoint its own slate of electors. It is this slate that will vote in the Electoral College on 12/19.
Given that both houses of the Wisconsin legislature are controlled by Republicans, there is no doubt as to who they will be voting for.
For the record, both houses of the Michigan and Pennsylvania legislatures are also controlled by Republicans.

trump needs to use this as an opportunity to go over the voter rolls and sift through all ballots cast in Chicago, Milwaukee, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Miami, and anywhere the Dems control the vote counting.

I just saw on CNN: Trump “falsely” claims illegal voter fraud.
Nice how they assert “the truth” without having any possible means of knowing. The chances are that SOME illegal votes were cast, the only question is how many. Of course they also ignore Obama stating if illegals voted nothing would happen to them. Their bias is in omission and holding a double standard on everything. To think that this brainwashing is broadcast at every airport is Orwellian. That most don’t realize they’re the propaganda arm of the DNC tells us how powerful the media is and how easily people are manipulated.

Want democracy? Enact laws guaranteeing the presidency to whomever receives the most popular votes in all 50 states. A number of states have enacted this law -- directing electors to vote for the popular voter winner, once enough states promise to do the same to constitute 270 electoral votes.
I doubt they will ever reach the 270 vote threshold. But, I expect it will fall apart when the electors will have to cast their votes for a Republican.
Although one can make the case that states can select their electors however they want, this will result in the mother of all voter disenfranchisement lawsuits, and it will quickly be struck down.
If they cast their votes for a Democrat, it's likely to not make a difference, as every state currently enacting the law is a safe blue state:

It’s about as democratic as leftys are genuinely liberal (i.e. NOT). They know of the manipulative possibilities and are salivating over it.

The main problem Jill Stein has is no evidence in any State according to this article.
“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

The only thing Jill Stein is accomplishing is putting FRONT AND CENTER THAT THE DEMOCRATS ARE FILTHY HYPOCRITES.
