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.

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."

States with recounts don’t get to vote on Dec 19th is their count is not certified. Essentially taking enough votes away from Trump and causing an election crisis. At least that is what Bill Cunningham was explaining on his radio show last night. Hillary at 232 and Trump at 260. 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. It is way past time for us to being on the defense and we start being on the offense and shout this stuff down. It is a usurpation of power.

[Arkansas Toothpick]

It’s easy, really. Let’s just use the FBI agents who combed Hillary’s 650,000 emails in seven days to do the counting, and we’ll be done by tomorrow night.

[for-q-clinton]

Want Democracy? No we want a Democratic Republic. A true democracy everyone would vote on everything. Wouldn’t need the House or Senate at all.

[\/\/ayne]

All this sounds like a serious attempt to steal the election although many are pooh-poohing it as a nothing that will never work. Really? How do they know that?

But if Soros is spending 5 million that we know about so Stein can recount, he's probably spending 100s of millions in dark money that we don't know about for fake Clinton votes to appear and real Trump votes to disappear.

[HiTech RedNeck]

She’s done this before, although not on as large a scale. It’s a collaboration between the two frenemies. Had Jill really wanted the maximum chances of ramming her policy preferences through, Trump would not have been it and she would have bowed out of the race. This is a case of partial insanity here, of codependence.

[palmer]

Let's say they cause enough stalling to make enough states irrelevant so Trumps total is less than 270. Then the House decides

Nope. The certified results stand. If the certified results are overturned then the electors are not appointed, then Trump wins the majority. He does not need 270, just a majority of appointed electors.

[isom35]

proof that she is a socialist/dem, she wants something, but wants others to pay for it.

[xzins]

I think she just said that she is recounting just for the sake of recounting...just because.

Surely this is unnecessary and frivolous even the way she describes it. A frivolous lawsuit is punishable. Why proceed with frivolous recounts that hold up the process on behalf of a candidate who has no hope of winning with her current 1% of the vote?/p>

[HiTech RedNeck]

The honey badger is looking at this now, though. We beseech the good Lord further bless him (and us) by blowing the lid off of any skulduggery that is happening.

[palmer]

"Then the House decides. And since it's Republican owned, Trump will be the Prez."
How many of those Republicans are NeverTrumpers?

The house will not be involved. There is no chance that Trump fails to get a majority of appointed electors. He does not need 270. People need to read the Constitution.

[Beave Meister]

Why does a candidate who received less than 1% of thr vote get to decide that she wants a recount. Unreal.

[IamConservative]

On the surface, sounds like she netted such a good haul on the first scam that she is going to run the hustle again. The low info crowd will probably keep donating long after inauguration.

[palmer]

Hillary at 232 and Trump at 260

Which means Trump wins. No crisis. Read the Constitution and look at the word appointed. That words means that if electors are not appointed they do not count towards the total. Trump needs the majority of the appointed delegates.

[SamAdams76]

If they hand count is there enough time between now and when the EC meets and from there to Inauguration Day.

Yes there is. That's why we have filing deadlines. The EC meets on Dec 19 and that's why the recount filing deadlines are coming up now. That will give the states adequate time to get the recounts done before Dec 19.

All the alarmists out there need to take a deep breath.

[Truth29]

"The house will not be involved. There is no chance that Trump fails to get a majority of appointed electors. He does not need 270. People need to read the Constitution."

Good, I wouldn't trust Paul Ryan an inch and it is conceivable that he would sell out the Republic for a sufficient bribe and open borders.

[HiTech RedNeck]

One order of chill pills please...

I got accused of complacency by telling folks to sit tight, which of course isn’t what I’m getting at.

DU is the OMG! crowd. Not us (well we may pray “oh, dear God” but on the other hand we mean it, it isn’t some vain expression).

[Vendome]

[Oldeconomybuyer]

... WI, PA, & MI as the largest chance of fraud ...

Before the election these leftwing parasites laughed about vote fraud. It doesn’t exist they said. No evidence they said. Those concerned about vote fraud are kooks they said.

Then Hillary got shellacked...
