Jill Stein and Vote Recounts

[RocketMan]

Just heard on the radio news where an EC elector in Texas resigned so he would not have to vote for Trump.  Interesting.  I wonder if he'll start a trend?

   I presume his place will be filled by another, yes?

Don't know.  No mention made of him being backfilled.

Just seems like with all the talk of a rigged election, dead people & illegals voting, this would be a good opportunity to shed some light on that and make Stein pay for it. Since Trump won it seems like no one cares about voter fraud anymore.

Sure they care. I'm certain the Democrats are already trying to figure out what went wrong, and planning for more extensive fraud in 2020.

PA say Stein missed the deadline to file. Any bets on which end around play they try next?

As if we needed more evidence that this whole thing is a ruse.

Apparently WI has now told Stein to take a hike.

Gee, I wonder what's going to happen to that $5 million?

  The New Yorker has a piece that tears into Stein and Clinton for pushing this malarkey. They can't even get The New Yorker on board.

Sort of.  They agreed to do a recount with the machines but not by hand.  Stein is suing for a hand recount:

I think they also tripled the price of a recount, so now she's acting like a Nigerian Prince and asking for more dough. "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a recount today."

Yeah, because she wants a "hand recount" where the election officals look at each ballot, as opposed to a "machine recount" where they just run all the ballots through the optical reader again.

For $10 million I can get you an extra McNugget.

[Hawkmoon]

Headline on Drudge says the first day of the recount gained Hillary ONE vote.

[Scout26]

At the current pace, Clinton will overtake Trump in Wisconsin in approximately 74 and a half years.

[Ben]

Current (re)count in WI:

Clinton +3

Trump +5

Stein & co have dropped their demand for a statewide recount in PA:

http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2016/12/03/green-party-drops-statewide-pennsylvania-recount/

Saturday’s court filing to withdraw the case said the Green Party-backed voters who filed the case “are regular citizens of ordinary means” and cannot afford the $1 million bond ordered by the court by 5 p.m. Monday. However, Green Party-backed efforts to force recounts and analyze election software in scattered precincts were continuing.

"ordinary means"?  Didn't Stein raise $7 million in her gofundme (or whatever it was)?  Why can they suddenly not afford $1 million by 1700 hrs Monday?

[just Warren]

Maybe they're the Fresh-Outta-Green Party.

[MikeB]

Comdidering how often gun owners and the NRA have been told we don't have standing for lawsuits until we actually risk jail time by breaking what should be unconstitutional laws; personally I'm having a hard time seeing how Stein has any standing to challenge the results or file any court cases.

I think she raised almost $10 million.  I fully expected most of the money to be disappear into Green Party's or Stein's personal election fund.  I'm impressed that they were able to steal it so quickly.

It's their best skill.

I thought there was something in PA law that three citizens PER precinct had to file a court case to get a recount (outside of automatic triggers and primie facie evidence of fraud).  So maybe it was $1 million PER PRECINCT the state was asking. 

Just spitballin' here.   However, I'm good with the "They are just stealing the money." explanation.

And I think the real goal, was a stated by the GOP, to tie the election in court so that the electors from MI, WI, and PA couldn't vote on 20 Dec, throwing it into the House of Representin', where Trump probably would win, but spend the next four years hobbled by the continuous cries of "Selected, Not Elected" from the media and the left (but I repeat my self.)  We are already hearing it from them with "Hillary won the Popular Vote" that's been on-going since 10 Nov.
