Wisconsin, Pennsylvania Officially Called for Trump
the Daily Beast ^

Posted on 12/12/2016 2:02:28 PM PST by RC one

Donald Trump has won the recount in Wisconsin, officials announced on Monday, certifying the president-elect as the 2016 victor in the Badger State. The recount, spearheaded by Green Party candidate Jill Stein, called into question Trump's narrow victory in the state, but the resulting recount found few errors. Shortly before the state's Elections Commission certified the recount results on Monday, the state had overturned just 25 votes, the The Washington Post reports. Trump still leads Clinton by approximately 22,000 votes in the state. Pennsylvania officials also certified Trump's victory on Monday—the state, however, had rejected Stein’s request for a recount.

The attempts to discredit and weaken his victory will continue. It’s all the left has left: pathetic attempts to strip Trump of his political capital. I’m going to enjoy him crushing them.

Hillary is not happy to lose once. She must be a masochist.

Since all other phony-baloney tantrum tactics failed, I’m standing by for the Soros-sponsored open insurrection during the convening of the EC and Inaugural Day. BITS

I'm beginning to wonder if they didn't have reason to expect a different recount result.

If they thought the fix was in (and obviously it wasn't), that would explain their current "Russian" hysteria.

Yeah, they’re really not helping themselves. Priority number one has to be making America great again but I’m not going to cry for them if they get spanked a little more while we’re doing that.

Pennsylvania did not reject Stein/Clinton/Soros' request for a recount. Only the PA Secretary of State can request a recount in Pennsylvania, and then only under a statutory requirement that the differene between top candidates be <0.5%.

What Stein asked for were contested elections. She succeeded in convincing a few well-placed suckers to petition their districts for contests. (She had no standing in those contests, by the way, only the suckers -- er, voters -- she convinced to petition the local district boards.) Those contested elections yielded -- as expected -- no statistically significant difference.

Stein also requested a statewide contested election. Unfortunately for her, she was smacked down very very hard by the Federal District Court, which offered six different reasons why she was not entitled to a contested election, including, that in the judge's opinion she had no standing to petition, and he seriously doubted that the Federal Courts even had jurisdiction in the case.

The full decision in the PA case may be found here: http://media.philly.com/documents/Stein+el+Al+v+Pedro+A.+Cortes.pdf

It is an absolutely brutal demolition of the Stein/Clinton/Soros effort to contest the PA election, and well worth reading. But for those uninterested in the law, the conclusion is especially devastating:

Dr. Stein has repeatedly stated that she has sought a Pennsylvania recount to ensure that every vote counts. Granting her later than last minute request for relief, however, could well ensure that no Pennsylvania vote counts. Such a result would be both outrageous and completely unnecessary; as I have found, suspicion of a “hacked” Pennsylvania election borders on the irrational. Finally, Plaintiffs’ claims for relief suffer from several flaws, each fatal to their Motion. For all these reasons, I will deny that Motion.

I believe that they had a two pronged strategy where they flip a state our two with a recount, even have the state miss the deadline. Then they work really hard to flip some of the remaining delegates. Then they throw out that CIA scheme, where they tell everybody Trump won because of Russia.

If Trump had not acted so well since winning the election, you could see the press getting on board as well. With Obama, the CIA, the press, and a flipped state or two. They might have a chance.
