Election Recount to Begin in Wisconsin Following Green Party Petition, Officials Say (maybe)

The fine print on her website tells donors that she cannot guarantee that a recount will happen and that any surplus money raised will go towards "election integrity efforts and to promote voting system reform." All of their money has come from private citizens, the Green Party does not accept corporate donations.

The odds that a recount will occur are low. Nothing happens until millions are paid to the states. The states do not operate on credit. As of now there will be no recounts until millions change hands.

Why would Stein have this disclaimer that all the money raised may not go to a recount? This reminds me of when Clinton cancelled her celebration party and fireworks days before the election but was still telling everyone she would win.

Stein is far smarter. She is pulling a Bernie Sanders and is raising millions in order to buy herself a really nice vacation home. She is doing it on the backs of sucker Hillary supporters. At least they will realize what it is like to be fleeced like Hillary fleeced everyone else.

This is all theater. January 20th, 2017 Trump changes from president-elect and to President Trump.

All the fair weather Trump supporters, #NeverTrumpers and concern trolls need to get over it and get used to saying President Trump.

There were reports that Soros Bots were responsible for the huge infusion of cash while most people were sleeping. Something like $160,000 per hour was coming in to Stein’s site over night.

List me among the "concern trolls". Never underestimate the ability of a Clinton to break the law and get away with it. Until he is sworn in, we need to stay on this.

IMHO.

“... the Green Party does not accept corporate donations.”

People are forgetting that Trump is in this picture. Trump is far more powerful than Hillary at this time. There is nothing they can do to outmaneuver Trump. Nothing.

Trump has won. Nothing will change.

All Stein paid Friday was the filing fee to trigger the recount process. It won’t actually begin until her campaign posts a bond to pay the full cost of conducting the actual recount up front.

WI is calculating that and will send her a bill soon.

I think she’s raising money to run for MA governor in 2018. I think Soros is done with the DNC for a few years and is trying new avenues.

Money is not an issue...there’s plenty of it for recounts. The Clinton Foundation will pay for it if need be. This is a serious threat to all of us.

It is Win-Win for Stein.

This builds her credibility as a “fighter”.

If she spends the money on recounts, whether they go nowhere or not, does not matter. Her name recognition and political credibility goes up.

If she cannot make the recounts happen, she is left with a pile of cash, to distribute as she wants, over a fairly broad range.

Win. Win.

Smart move on Stein’s part.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Hillary coordinated on it. Nothing illegal about that.

Never, ever underestimate Trump.

It amazes me how the concern-troll-brigade shows no faith in Trump’s power. The concern-troll-brigade has the white flag of surrender in its back pocket at the ready every time a fly goes by.

They are not looking for enough votes to change the results...that’s simply absurd and people would not stand for it.

They set up for this back when they started blaming Russia for anything and everything.

They want to get access to the voting machines and lay a claim that the software was hacked...by Russia.

What they want is a do-over of election night in certain states.

Of course this would almost immediately go to the supreme court... that is why we are short one justice (under mysterious circumstances) The court will tie and the lower court rulings will stand.

IMO this is what is going on :-/
No other explanation makes any sense at all.

At this point Hillary is like Bernie. She is sacrificing her supporters to be fleeced for millions for the sake of appearances. She does not care. Stein is probably real estate shopping with her millions like Bernie was. One thing you know about politicians is that they do not sacrifice their own money.

Let’s see if any money gets paid to the states.

This has no chance of going anywhere.

I suppose the Trump campaign realizes that this has to be fought with something other than tweets and protests.

Bottom line....It’s all about money. But we’ll have to wait a while to say how they juggle it.

It's not so much as a lack of faith in Trump, as an acknowledgement of the power still held by the Clintons, Soros, and the MSM. I'm not sure what, if any, your objection is to recognizing it and facing it head on.

As they say,”Follow the money.” Let’s watch where the money goes and we will know clearly what this is really about.

“white flag of surrender”?

Most of us want someone to go in there and steamroll the fools.

You need to contact Limbaugh and ease his mind. He says he is concerned over democrat treachery.
