She plans to file for Michigan and Pennsylvania next.

I think she has high hopes of there being some massive vother fraud and then get appointed by the Hildebeast to some cushy job.

She needs to take a trip up north somewhere and get stuck in someone's large crevasse...

Crybaby libtards just won't quit, they are so use to everybody winning they cannot conceive of losing.

Libtards? Grow up. And Stein is a green party candidate

I have a hard time believing that she isn't doing this on behalf of the Clintons. I don't think it is going to change things as Trump won by 60K votes in PA. No matter the shady tactics they will employ to manufacture votes in a "recount", they aren't going to make 60K votes disappear.

Total waste of time and money. It's never going to happen.
Trump is our new President.

I am pretty damn proud of Wisconsin right now.
I don't get it though they almost always vote for republican governors but have voted for democrat presidents since the 80's? Either way was pretty proud to see my state turn red this time!

So was most of the country...

Just saw on the news.....it is official recount now in Wisconsin. Not worried about it though, if anything Hillary will lose votes on any recount if they actually dig into illegal votes and such forth.

What do you guys think about conspiracy theorists saying this is a plan by Clinton to steal those states?

I think they would say she is stealing them back.

Governor's have to actually get the job done, so it makes sense to have a republican in there...or at least a moderate democrat who's fiscally responsible and pro business. You can have liberal representation in the federal government because they don't have to really get anything done...they can chase pie in the sky concepts...and they can spend any amount of money they want without regards to a budget.

[Fishman15]

Get ready folks...this is going to happen in WI, MI, PA, and any other state that Hillary "should" have won as needed. Young, black, hispanic, asian voters have been disenfranchised and/or have had to endure voter suppression. MSNBC reporting...

[thebigzakbowski]

not that I expect it, but if the recount shows Hillary winning any state I do not look forward to the rioting...I mean "protesting" we all will endure

[Fang2]

Clinton's campaign to participate in the recounts.

It's all the rage these days...

She has as much of a chance as DBX to change anything.

so about 50-50 huh?

I am usually all for anything that keeps 3rd party politics in the news but this nothing but a publicity stunt. It certainly isn't about the outcome; Stein is no fan of Clinton’s, and even if she was, there’s no way that a recount flips all three states, which it would have to in order to matter.

Best case scenario, any resulting mess helps encourage the adoption of best practices for voting and vote auditing. Likely case, they find nothing, and angry Democrats just donated a good chunk of change to the Stein 2020 campaign.

[KeepItMoving]

So the DNC has now joined in the recount. Hillary must believe she has the ability to get a fraudulent recount.

I think she was behind it all along. Jill Stein is merely a proxy as it wouldn't look good for Clinton to concede and then demand a recount. Stein raised more money in a couple of days than she did for her entire campaign. How did that happen? This is mutually beneficial to both. Stein gets free publicity and can portray herself as a righteous guardian of the electoral process and Clinton gets to challenge the results. Everybody wins....except of course, the voter.

You're probably right. The level of scheming that these people use is amazing. Sickening and amazing.

Agreed. Isn't there an issue of her using this as a means to satisfy campaign debt? Not sure if that's just a rumor or not.

I don't quite understand any of this really. There are no real allegations of voter fraud or intimidation. There is no evidence of cyber activity that could have effected the outcomes in some way. That, according to government authorities. If I understand things correctly, the vote count in any of these three states is not of a close enough margin to warrant a recount. Can anybody raise a couple of million dollars and demand a recount, whenever, wherever?


One thing that there is; death threats and vicious e-mails directed at the members of the electoral college in any number of states across the nation.

A computer scientist somewhere said that it doesn't make sense that Hillary did not win in certain States.

LOL According to conventional wisdom it doesn't make sense that she didn't win in around 15! Life is like that sometimes.

"Even though she cheated she still didn't win. We need to find out how this was possible, so we can ensure a better rigging for the next time."
