Clinton seeks to join Stein’s lawsuit for hand recount in Wisconsin
A state elections board officially declared Republican Donald Trump the victor of the presidential election in MI.
In addition to Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, the Greens have promised to ask for a recount in MI before the Wednesday deadline.
Stein raised a total of $3,509,477 in her 2016 bid for the presidency.
“(The fundraised money) is all going into a dedicated recount fund that is not accessible to the campaign”, she said.
“Heavens no. We are investing our vote in the future”, said Grage of the Green Party and alternative party candidates. She claims Wisconsin is placing “exorbitant” and “undue burden (s)” on the recount; Stein promises that it will not stop the effort.
None of this makes sense, and all of it seems to further usher in the “post-truth” strategy Trump pioneered.
“I think Hillary increases her chances of prosecution by acting this way”, Roger Stone said on “The Steve Malzberg Show” on Newsmax TV.
Trump won with 2,279,543 votes – 47.6 percent – 10,704 more than Hillary Clinton’s 2,268,839 or 47.4 percent.
“Every vote must be counted”, Brewer was quoted as saying. Clinton’s campaign is supporting the Wisconsin recount.
But Trump doubled down on the allegation around midnight, charging there was vote fraud in Virginia, New Hampshire and California, and accused the media of ignoring it. “Voter fraud does occur, but it occurs in isolated instances”, he said.
Prior to alleging voter fraud, President-elect Trump also claimed that, in addition to winning the Electoral College, he would have also won the popular vote – were it not for people voting “illegally.”
A Wisconsin judge refused on Tuesday to order local election workers to conduct the state’s upcoming presidential recount completely by hand, finding that nothing suggests the state’s electronic tabulating machines have been hacked. Instead, she said in a video on her Facebook page, that she picked the three states where the vote was the closest to ensure the integrity of the election.
If a recount happens, all the ballots – all 4,799,284 votes in the presidential race – will be counted by hand at the county level under state supervision. He alleged, without offering any proof, that Clinton or George Soros must be secretly financing Stein’s recount.
Secretary of State Pedro Cortes, a Democrat, said there was no evidence of voting irregularities or cyberattacks on Pennsylvania’s voting machines, 96 percent of which record votes electronically and leave no paper trail.
