Speculation that electronic voting machines could be hacked has largely been debunked, primarily because the machines are not connected to the internet.

Anyone else chuckle at the understated tone here?

Well we all know the possibility of Russian hackers taking victory from Stein. She could have won.......you KNOW she could have if it weren’t for compromising the voting machines. You go girl............/s

Stein contended that this was a "hack-riddled election,"

Which is why she wants a recount of Michigan.

Which uses only paper ballots.

These libtards are too stupid to be taken seriously. If the voting machines were hacked, a recount will come up with the same result no matter how many times they do it. Why the hell do they need $7 million?

Yea. I picked out the same statement. Incredible that it even had to be debunked. How stupid are people?

Question about this.
Wasn’t precedence set in 2000 when the Florida ‘rats only wanted to recount democrat precincts, and SCOTUS said that they had to recount them all?

Maybe the Obama administration does not want Mr Trump to look into places where Dems most likely cheated. Mr Trump just appointed a libertarian leaning election lawyer as his chief counsel. :)

New administration might be WAY ahead of the game.

Why? Because any recount they can’t control will reveal the massive Democrapic vote fraud especially in the D-machine-controlled big cities

It’s possible thar Stein just needs to pay off her own campaign debts...or...she too “scam” lessons from Hillary.

“Why is the Obama administration taking this position?”

It pushes the Clintons aside pretty much for good. They have to be weary of the Clinton pratfalls and exposures. They don’t even seem to try to conceal their corruption.

And, by default, it leaves Obama with the most weight of authority, such as it is.

It's a shame they aren't recounting Florida.

I mean, now that Castro's dead, there's one more vote guaranteed for Hillary.

“Why is the Obama administration taking this position?”

Two reasons:

1. Obola hates the Clintons
2. They know nothing will be found and it will further ruin the RAT Party.

Everyone knows that since the USSR fell, but really ever since he was a little kid, Putin has been plotting to keep Jill Stein out of the presidency.
