The Latest on President-elect Donald Trump's transition (all times EST):

2:15 p.m. Wisconsin election officials are expected to meet Monday to discuss a possible timeline for a recount of the state's presidential election.

The recount comes at the request of Green Party candidate Jill Stein, who says it's important to determine whether hacking may have affected the results. Stein says she also plans to request recounts in Pennsylvania and Michigan.

"Hillary Clinton is backing away from a deal worked out between the two presidential campaigns on how the loser would concede to the winner. Reince Priebus tells "Fox News Sunday" that Clinton's team "cut a deal" with Trump's team specifying that once The Associated Press called the race in favor of one candidate, the other would call within 15 minutes to concede. Priebus says that's just what happened election night. But now he's questioning whether Clinton campaign lawyer Marc Elias is backing down from that deal by announcing Clinton will participate in a recount in Wisconsin and may do the same in Michigan and Pennsylvania. The push is being led by the Green Party's Jill Stein."

I wonder how Clinton can\will participate in Wisc. recount ?
She did not file a Petition.
She can't pay any money as she didn't file ?
So what does "participate" mean ?

This is not Jill Steins doing, this is Hillary/Soros. No way did Stein raise 6,000,000, its pure DNC-Soros-Hillary. And they play to win, anyone that underestimates them is foolish in the Extreme

Stein is calling for machines to be opened and taken apart in PA saying this is the only was to find hacking per her computer expert Halderman. They are planning on changing the totals so Hillary wins.

Maybe Jill Stein should have a mental exam.

He husband is also a doctor, maybe he can arrange one, for she sure is acting a bit ‘insane’

SHE HAD AND HAS NO CHANCE IN HELL OF EVER BEING ELECTED TO ANY THING AFTER HER RECENT TRICKS...SHE HAS RUN FOR EVERY OFFICE AVAILABLE IN MASSACHUSETTS AND WON NONE...THIS WAS HER SECOND TRY FOR POTUS, WONDER IF SHE WILL TRY FOR THE TURD TIME???

Honestly I think they want to perpertrate fraud using his methods which are contained in his affadavit which Stein is using as evidence in her pleas for a recount in PA. Look at the bottom starting at # 13 which in fact he says the only way Trump won the election was due to hacking. Then read the rest and it says what they are asking to be done as it is the only way to show the election was hacked.

I think this man is a liar and they are trying to change the results since he believes they are wrong Trump couldn’t possibly have one.

Honestly I think these people were supposed to hack the machines for Hillary but somehow it got mucked up and now they are trying to fix what they botched the first time. I am serious.

...So what does "participate" mean ?...

At a minimum it means that she can have observers present during the recount and can have legal counsel represent her.

DJT has the same rights and I expect he will have observers and counsel for the events.

Not sure about the timing of the payment vs. the petition, since I think the elections people are still estimating the cost. Stein has evidently raised enough money to pay whatever they want, all that needs to be determined is what the figure might be.

We do not know what Trump's response will be, but I think he has enough funds on hand to fight this. If he asks for donations I will support him.

Apparently Jill Stein has raised about $7 million... just to toss it away on a recount...

Conservatives need to be shouting out the following questions:

How many hungry kids could be fed with the money being squandered on the recount?

How many gallons of clean water could be delivered to Flint Michigan?

How many solar panels could be installed with this kind of money???

How many teachers aides could be hired with $7 million to help kids with learning disabilities???

Don’t hold back hit them where it hurts.

“This is not Jill Steins doing”

Au contrare, her name is on the petition as the petitioning party! She's just the "clean end" of the same RAT Turd!

Surely these states would have some sort of a nominal filing fee that would at least cover the preliminary work involved. I mean you don’t get to take a driving test before you pay the fee.

You need counseling! RATS don’t give a $hit about ANY of the things you enumerate above. In their world, it’s ALL ABOUT CONTROL of people’s lives, not in doing anything positive to help them.

Has anyone thought this through? Republicans control the Sanate, HOR, and a majority of state governorships and legislatures. Already, this is thwarting the more responsible hillaristas who would do so from accepting the results of the election.

The result would be chaos. It would be impossible for hillary to govern. Constitutional Conservatives/ Nationalists who saw in Trump a path to retaking our country at the ballot box would be irreparably angered at a stolen election. BLM, illegal immigration, war mongering would all spin out of control.

This has got to be stopped. One has to fear what will happen if it drags out.

The way they botched it up was underestimating the number of fraudulent votes they needed to overcome the Trump vote

The trick is to flip enough votes to win, but to not flip too many votes and risk exposing the fraud

The underestimated the Trump vote and Trump out ran the margin of fraud

The measure of shock shown by Team Clinton, the Democrat and Republican establishments and the Media is reflected in the fact that they all were aware the fix was in for Clinton and that fix was a really big fix in terms of the extent of fraud

Despits rampant, massive fraud, Trump still came out ahead so the true Trump turnout must have been spectacular and awesome to overcome the margin of fraud against Trump built in to this election by both Parties

And isn’t sad that they know he won big but they are willing to lie and thieve to undermine him and the American people who voted for him and his ideas really disgusting.

I am hoping they do not succeed in what they are trying to do.
