LANSING, Mich. – Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein on Wednesday requested a full hand recount of Michigan’s presidential vote, making it the third state where she’s asked for another look at a race narrowly won by Republican Donald Trump. Stein had previously requested recounts of the presidential votes in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

President-elect Trump defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton by 10,704 votes out of nearly 4.8 million ballots cast in Michigan, but Stein alleges that irregularities and the possibility that vote scanning devices could have been hacked call the results into question....

How do you hack paper ballots, Jill?

[rightwingintelligentsia]

She doesn’t know, but she’ll try!

[demkicker]

Someone get the hook and drag this joke of an idiot off stage! It’s down right embarrassing to watch her!

She Soros , and Clinton have made themselves look like complete fools over this election.

Get over it, you lost, don;t try and pretend you care about the integrity of the election when you only choose certain states. It was like this in 2000 when the Dems lost again and only wanted recounts in Dem counties.

there’s 80k ballots with blanks for president they want to get their hands on, so they can derive the voters intent.

[colorado tanker]

OK, so someone needs to take one for the team and give her a hand job.

...but Stein alleges that irregularities and the possibility that vote scanning devices could have been hacked...

These are weasel words that are consistent with anything. You would think the states would demand evidence that clearly supports the allegations before starting a recount. Instead, all they ask for is deep pockets, which seems to be Soros...again.

[Tarasaramozart]

This is probablyoff the wall, but can the democrats fake a Trump fraud? Framing him in essence?

[roostercogburn]

Are there 80k paper ballots with no presidential mark?
Or in total, electronic and paper, there were 80k?

[2ndDivisionVet]

She was quite a looker back before the Vietnam war.

[DarthVader]

This too will go nowhere. This will be rejected and challenged in court and then die there.

[headstamp 2]

She was quite a looker back before the Civil war.

When God heard our prayers to help us out the mess these evil people have us in, he sent us as His mouthpiece Mr. Trump...all through the campaign, every step of the way there were arrows and the kitchen sink thrown at him, he defeated 16 candidates, went on to win the Republican Nominee, then came the Presidential debates with the formaldehyde witch at her finest, paying everyone and their dogs to throw crap at him and nothing stuck...then came the election and Trump won with 306 Electoral Votes...a landslide, and the formaldehyde witch threw the biggest fit of all times so people have said...and now some pipsqueak that can't get over 1% of a vote anywhere has decided to try and make a name for herself, she is alright, but not the one that will ever help her again...and you know what...Trump is still putting his cabinet together, January 20, 2017 is coming with President Elect Donald J. Trump taking the oath of office to become our 45th POTUS and God has been with him and us every step of the way and will always be with us and our Great Nation because we got down on our knees and prayed that He would help us and He did...God Never Fails...

Stein has no possible chance of winning. Why should the states do anything but ignore her. If Clinton wants a recount. That’s different.

[bgill]

She’s fast becoming the most hated woman second only to Hellary.

[ez]

In every election, there COULD have been hacking or cheating. So that is not the standard. The standard is that one can present EVIDENCE of hacking or cheating. Why are the states ignoring the standard?

[stylin19a]

good question. I don’t know.

[OttawaFreeper]

Agreed. If that judge in Wisconsin last night said that Stein really did not have any evidence to prove her allegations, you can imagine Michigan’s Secretary of State most likely seeing things in that similar manner.
