— Clinton won far more popular votes, while he carried the all-important Electoral College count —

America does not elect a President by the popular vote - read the US Constitution.

Most election experts see almost no chance the election outcome could be reversed — Clinton trails in each state by several thousand votes.

What’s this about the “extraordinarily public battle over the makeup of the future cabinet”? As far as I’ve seen is just a few names mentioned here and there for certain positions? I guess all of the other Presidents had extremely dull matters concerning something like this?

The popular vote count is a red herring anyway. As long as some states have rampant vote fraud without any mechanism to secure the integrity of the voting process, the “popular vote” means little.

I would like to see the federal government refuse to accept election results from states that do not safeguard election integrity. Such a move would make California’s “popular vote” completely irrelevant.

Hillary’s behavior since the election clearly demonstrates that she is completely unfit to be president.

This whole recount thing is a scam like Trump said, because even if Hitlery won Penn. and Wisconsin, Trump would still be the winner, so why are they doing it? Because this Jill Stein is trying to make money. I predicted right before the election that if Trump won Florida he would win the election. When he won Florida that’s when I stopped watching the returns because I knew he won. Penn. and Wisconsin wins were just icing on the cake.

You can see the panic trolls over there at Breitbart as well. One silly twit going on about how Hillary’s people have allegedly been there since the election destroying Trump ballots and replacing them with Hillary ones.

I really, honestly didn’t think I could hate the left anymore than I do already.

Until all this crap.

We have 50 separate elections.

And in the ones where Hillary won the most votes, she got the electoral votes from there.

And in the ones where Trump won the most votes, he got the electoral votes from there.

Is there a place where Hillary got the most votes and lost the EV from that state? NOPE!

*not counting Maine

And in response, Trump should announce that the Clinton’s Criminal Investigation is back on.

Sanders says that we almost always have recount. Not in Presidential elections, except whenever Democrats lose.

One of the main things this election is about is removing permanently the celebrity status of the media. I also agree entirely with Trump’s comments about making it easier to sue the media when they are not truthful. All the comments about how this will stifle a ‘free’ media are total bs. It’s very easy to write accurately, and to admit when facts are not known (e.g. ‘there have been comments and rumors linking the Congressman with business owners in his/her district, but these have not been substantiated, have been strongly denied, and in the absence of any substantiation remain only rumors at this point’). This is what they do if and when they ever report something negative about a democrat, but they show no such restraint when going after a Republican.

Our society and our government are based upon checks and balances. Where do the checks and balances come in when the media become an arm of propaganda for a specific party or ideology? The media should also be held accountable. In a truly professional media environment most of us would hardly know the names of the people in media, let alone having to watch them make tens of millions of dollars, parade around as celebrities, and look down their noses at a significant percentage of the population.

In football, it’s not like the team with the most yards wins the game. It’s the most points. Those are the rules. Should be an easy concept for democrats but they’re not the brightest bunch.

I think I have figured this whole mess out, and it doesn't have anything to do with P.E. Trump....

Most of the voters that Stein was watching were Sanders voters, they are both Communists, and I think Stein was counting on over the 30, 360 or 1.1% that she got in Wisconsin...and when she didn't she decided to investigate, hence the ‘voter recount’...why didn't the Sanders supporters come to her, or did they but were stolen???

Now comes the Formaldehyde witch and her crew, heaven forbid if Stein finds out that the massive try at voter fraud she was doing included some of the high amount of Sanders voters she was counting on...but there's more: when they find out there are people from near by states: ‘Dems Votes’ and ‘illegal immigrants’ votes and ‘voters voting in many districts’....now we have a whole new situation...and what is Stein going to do: open the Clinton Voter Scheme wide open...ops the formaldehyde witch is going down in big flames this time...and maybe, just maybe Trumps votes will go higher, in the popular area, and he will under any circumstance retain his EV votes of 10...

In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally

If Clinton wanted a recount, she should have asked for one.
Stein asking for a recount is ludicrous on its face as she cannot possibly win even a single state, more or less the national election. Just as with the courts where other minor candidates have tried to raise election-related issues, such as with the several minor party candidate challenges to Obama’s eligibility, Stein’s request for recount should be dismissed on the basis that she lacks standing or at least has suffered no actual harm even in that she lacks any chance of securing election this way (a frivilous filing). ALSO, Stein might not know what she’s asking for....given the long-known fact of MAJOR vote fraud in the Big Cities of those three states (Detroit, Philadelphia, Milwaukee)... said fraud always favoring D candidates and not R’s. Thus, she could well will wind up getting nowhere at all ..except embarassing the D party machine (which may be JUST what she is after!)

This is just step one in trying to undo the electoral college. The democrats will take decades to push the popular vote through to fruition and this is their opening salvo.
