”Nothing will change” as a result of vote recount: Donald Trump

Trump also claimed on Twitter that he would have “won even bigger and more easily” if the USA presidency were determined by the national popular vote as opposed to the Electoral College.

Almost a month after Election Day, Hillary Clinton’s campaign doesn’t think the vote is final.

Marc Erik Elias, an election lawyer for the Democratic candidate, said in a post on Medium.com that the campaign would also participate in recounts in the closely contested states of MI and Pennsylvania if they are arranged.

And despite lacking strong evidence, he also alleged voter fraud in the Florida Republican presidential primary and the Iowa caucuses, and floated several different conspiracy theories claiming “dead voters” supported President Barack Obama’s reelection.

Throughout Saturday, Trump took hits at both Stein and Clinton.

Trump earlier called Stein’s effort a “scam”.

Green Party officials filed for a recount on Friday following reports of voting discrepancies and are seeking a deeper investigation into the election results.

Clinton’s lead in the popular vote has grown to over 2 million.

In the November 8 election, Trump apparently garnered at least 270 electoral votes, which technically is all that is required to win the presidency regardless of whether or not a candidate wins the popular vote.

The US election is not decided by the popular vote count.

McEachin stated “Without a shred of evidence, Donald Trump is recklessly alleging that millions of Americans who went to the polls and exercised their right to vote have together committed a massive, systemic crime”.

Trump will take office in January because he won a majority under the Electoral College system used to choose presidents in the United States, despite trailing in the total vote by about 2 million.

Trump’s remarks reflect his growing frustration over efforts to recount votes in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. After calling the recounts a “Green Party scam” on Saturday, Trump tweeted on Sunday morning that “nothing will change” as a result of the effort.

Green Party candidate Jill Stein is pushing for recounts in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.

“We do so fully aware that the number of votes separating Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton in the closest of these states – MI – well exceeds the largest margin ever overcome in a recount”, Elias said.

As a result, they had not planned to ask for recounts, but now that Stein has requested a recount, Elias said, “we feel it is important, on principle, to ensure our campaign is legally represented in any court proceedings and represented on the ground in order to monitor the recount process itself”.

Stein has maintained her activities are in no way meant to benefit Clinton, whom she leveled strong criticisms against during the 2016 election.

The former Democratic nominee is not pulling back from that position, and her campaign is trying to distinguish between its decision to have legal representatives participate in the Wisconsin recount and actually promoting it, which the campaign says it has not done.
