Clinton campaign: We are taking part in the recount

Washington (CNN)Hillary Clinton's campaign said Saturday it will take part in efforts to push for recounts in several key states, joining with Green Party candidate Jill Stein, who has raised millions of dollars to have votes counted again in Wisconsin.

But, in a post on Medium, Marc Elias, the campaign's counsel, said the campaign's own investigation has not uncovered any evidence of hacking of voting systems. In the campaign's most detailed comments to date on the recount, Elias wrote that while the campaign was not going to contest the results itself, it has decided now to take part in the effort to "ensure that it is fair to all sides."

The attorney for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, Marc Elias, here indicates the Clinton campaign will participate in the Wisconsin recount. He says if Jill Stein proceeds in Michigan and Pennsylvania, the Clinton campaign will participate in those recounts as well. Thanks to Political Wire for the link.

This is cartoonish. These people have humiliated themselves. Can you imagine if Trump was doing this ? I am in favor of lauching a recount in New Hampshire !! This is silly. They just can’t accept they lost. This is like instant replay on a walk in touch down. They lost because they had a lousy president who has no legacy == ZIP and a candidate who wad a criminal , a liar and took bribes. She couldn’t draw files at a rally and she just got beat by AMERICANS!!! SUCK IT UP BUTTERCUP!!

From what I found on PA website about election recounts we have passed the deadline to file a request for one. I think the 17th was deadline and 23rd was deadline the SECy of PA could schedule the start of any recount.

Someone on another post said they could get a court order to have PA recount. That looks bad and messy, but that’s what manipulators like Jill, Soros and Clintons are.

Probably the first few millions into Steins fund came from the Clinton slush fund.

The MSM's pre-election attitude:

Clinton will win, Trump will not accept the election, Trump supporters will riot in the streets, and any talk of election fraud is lunacy.

The post-election reality:

Clinton loses, Clinton supporters riot in the streets, Trump election attributed to 'fake news' and Russian involvement, widespread accusations of voter suppression and hacked voting machines, demands for multi-state recounts not required by law, talk of impeaching Trump before he even takes office, etc.

I think Hitlery is on the hook with a lot of powerful people to deliver things she can’t now that she won’t be in the WH. I wonder what sort of threats she is receiving not that these powerful donors know their return on investment is exactly ZERO. In fact, for many, it will probably cost them a LOT of money. I think she is desperate to save her own skin, and her finances. That is possibly a higher priority than the WH for her.

Palmello State Armory, 200 x .223 delivered for $47.99. This weekend only AFAIK. Steel case Russian ammo, but not one misfire / ejection from 500 rounds sent through my buddies PSA built AR15 so far.

The Democrats HAVE to know that people are sick of this kind of stupid crap. My guess is they're trying to placate some pretty shady donors who were promised Hillary would be president to fulfill their schemes.

I sure wish that Trump supporters would demand recounts in New Hampshire (Clinton 47.6 percent, Trump 47.2 percent, Difference: 2,701 votes), Minnesota (Clinton 46.4 percent, Trump 44.9 percent, Difference: 44,470 votes), Nevada (Clinton 47.9 percent, Trump 45.5 percent, Difference: 26,434 votes) and Maine (Clinton 47.9 percent, Trump 45.2 percent, Difference: 19,995 votes).

"The lying libs are probably really doing a post-mortem on their own voter fraud."

Take the work "probably" out and you nailed it.

Clinton Campaign admits the recount will likely not change election results:

Steven T. Dennis at Bloomberg Politics reports Hillary Clinton’s campaign will join the recount process in battleground states despite admitting they doubt it will change the results of the election.

Exactly.

Is there a difference between asking for a recount vs. looking into election fraud? It seems to me there is.

The Democrats have mastered the “art” of recounting until they win.

I have not heard a peep out of the Democrats about voter fraud. Why? Because they are the practitioners of it. Any investigation into fraud would show that the deck was fraudulently stacked in favor of the Dems.

I just don’t see the Clinton’s angle UNLESS the fix is already in WI. Then go to Judges to let the dominos fall where they may in MI, PA.....

Waste of time. Donald Trump is our President Elect. Nothing can change that. In 2000, FL couldn't be overturned even though the difference was barely 1,000 votes. The differences in WI, MI and PA are 22K, 10K and 71K respectively. If those get overturned than our entire election system needs to be called into question and all 50 states will need to be looked at. If we are going to look at every vote, we will find millions and millions of illegal votes that favor the Democrats.

Bring it on!

BTW, NH was the closest state at 3K. However that is not being challenged.

Psy-ops will not change a thing. Trump supporters are more on board than before, we aren’t going anywhere (except maybe the anti Romney people). Results from a recount would be false anyway.

The country is ALREADY split in two with one side bawling because they lost...legitimately. I wonder what to DO other than sit, worry and pray.

The Trump team must have some ideas.

Don’t forget, if a state’s election count is still being contested when the EC meets, it’s votes do not count.

During the 2000 Florida recount we had some real election law experts on FR who were able to keep us focused on the process. I don’t know if they’re still her or not....

For instance....What happens if the states have not completed the recount by the time the electors are supposed to cast their votes. Informed answers only, please, no speculation or guessing.
