Other threads are unclear on both those claims. Can you post something authorative WRT both claims?
I can only hope both are true.
The threads I read say Mich should certify at 2 PM today and the the Pennsylvania link source didn't say she dropped her request.
Is this a good or bad thing?
I GET IT!!!! Trump countered nonsense and fantasy (Russia hacked) with a whooping dose of unproven but plausible conjecture. In other words if you hit Trump he will hit back but far harder than you could ever imagine.
Recount 3 states? Trump may have you looking at all of them. Recount three states that have fairly good voter laws? Trump will be looking at the dark recesses of ComCali.
He raised saw ‘em and then raised the stakes far higher than they could cope with. Even the Dem in Wisconsin could see where this would lead.
Personally I think it’s good that Democrats are giving their
political contributions to the Green Party.
There was a thread on FR early in this process from a liberal source. The original news source was written by a Hillary supporter who said that they would like the result changed, but did not think that a recount approach would be fruitful or helpful. Instead, they suggested that Stein was just fleecing Democrats for funds. Their evidence was a statement on Stein’s funding page that said the funds might not be used for recount costs.
Based on that speculation, I posit that Stein intended to engage in a few low cost recounts and pocket the rest of the money. It would certainly explain her exasperation with Hillary’s campaign joining the recount effort.
I think that Hillary’s campaign saw the appeal for funds as money grabbing and decided to cut off Stein at the knees. First, the addition of Hillary to the recount request would give the request legal “standing”. Second, the Pennsylvania recount request had to be submitted to a court. Hillary’s people might have kept Stein from submitting a “weak” court document designed to fail. A successful court bid in PA would have meant fewer funds left over.
Now, if Stein has dropped the effort in PA, as reported, that further supports the above conjecture that Stein was trying to get either denied, thus expending no funds, or get a low-cost machine recount after pulling in lots of money.
Stein threatens to sue, after she holds her breath and stamps her feet.
No weapon formed against him shall prosper!
NO FEARS OR WORRIES MY FRIEND! Holy anger yes..fear not!
Three weeks after an election, not one state could prove their computers/ballots have been protected from tampering for 24/7 by both Republicans and Democrats. And why should they for pete’s sake? Therefore, can anyone tell me why any state would even consider such a farce.
The ballots/computers would have to be locked up with both party’s guards 24/7 day after day. What state is going to pay for that?
I can tell you for sure, if anyone came down here to TX at this late date demanding a recount and got 30,000 votes, They would be escorted to the nearest border amidst great laughter.
He (commisioner Thomsen) may be able to speak for Wisconsin, but I'm pretty sure he has no clue whether California (for instance) has significant voter fraud.
Love the way you think
Stein Recount = Fake News
Distract from Trump mandate and democrat/obama collapse.
She’s ticked that she has to refund the money?
Maybe she can take the cash to New Hampshire, and recount that?
You got it!
Way-out Willie and the hand jive.
A good reminder to any lingering NeverTrumpers that control of the courts is not something to let go of lightly.
The following was reported by the Washington Examiner...
Stein missed Pennsylvania's deadline to file for a voter-initiated recount. That blown deadline is a huge blow for Democrats who have pinned their hopes on recounts in the Keystone State, Michigan and Wisconsin.
"According to Wanda Murren, spokeswoman for the Pennsylvania Department of State," the Philadelphia Inquirer reported Monday, "the deadline for a voter-initiated recount was Monday, Nov. 21."
I don't know about Michigan.
What exactly do your people do to prevent illegal immigrants from voting?
Here in PA, all they need to do is check a box that says they are a citizen when registering to vote. No one ever checks to see if that is true, nor are they even allowed to ask for any proof. Therefore, non-citizens are essentially allowed to vote.
