In a revealing interview on The Alan Colmes Show Monday afternoon, failed Green Party candidate Jill Stein conceded (perhaps inadvertently) that the reason she’s calling for a recount in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania is, in part, because Hillary Clinton was expected to win those states.
Listen to the whole interview here, but I have pulled out the key statement: (emphasis mine)
The three states that we chose including Michigan that only just now declared its winner. This was not a partisan choice, this was zooming in on the states that have the markings of being most vulnerable to hacking because they had thin margins. They went the opposite way of what was expected and they had some kind of voting system vulnerability.
Hidden inside the baseless suggestion that the voting systems had been hacked (“some kind of voting system vulnerability”) was that key phrase “they went the opposite way of what was expected.”

Sadly, Mr. Colmes did not follow up on that revealing statement and pull on the thread a bit. Is Dr. Stein suggesting that because polls and pundits had predicted that Secretary Clinton would win those three states something suspicious must be going on? Is she suggesting that a telephone poll conducted by a media outlet should be considered more predictive of an outcome than the actual, physical votes and the final tally?
If late polls had predicted a slim win by Trump in these states, would Stein still be asking for this useless recount?

Wow, she really has been smoking a lot of weed...
Change that story...move those goal posts.
Well, Jill, honey, the American voters said Trump wins, and guess who trumps the polls.
That’s right, babe. Us.
Governor Dewey needs to request a recount. No way Truman could have won without the Ruskies hacking the vote machines.
It’s refreshing to see that somebody believes in the polls. Also, Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy.
[Stein: We want recounts because the polls said Hillary would win]
Is THIS the evidence for voter fraud STEIN is presenting in court this afternoon? LOL
Liberals say a lot of things that aren't true. They don't require weed to lie. It's just natural...: )
If Red Jill wanted H->! to win, why did she run?
That’s not a valid reason for a recount. Toss it.
So, bad polling is the reason for redoing a vote count?
It’s like saying bad scouting should get a team a redo on a pitcher’s ERA.
These clowns need a new playbook. They pulled this in 2004 too.. but, but,but the exit polls... turn those machines back on...
Maybe those states were chosen, in part, because they have leftists deeply ingrained in the judiciary, should the need arise..
They have all been blue for many cycles.
Why not pick Indiana? Or, Alabama, Tennessee?
Inquiring minds want to know
Same with Kerry. Exit polls said he was winning and folks said he should have won the presidency.
Too bad. That’s what they get for oversampling rats in their polls.
And here they are all worried about fake news.
People in the know, know that the holy grail of fake news are the agenda-driven political polls, and never was that more true than it was this year.
What about the polls that said Hillary was going to win Georgia and South Carolina even? The more this person prattles on, the more she loses her own personal credibility outside the dedicated lefty crowd.
Huhhhhh..?
And the polls are SO right?
