Trump calls it ‘sad’ that Clinton joining recount effort
In none of the tweets did Trump point to any evidence of voter fraud to account for his claim and no other evidence of his assertion has emerged since the election.
Simply put, there is no evidence that “millions of people” voted illegally in the election.
The president-elect has not provided any evidence for his claims, CBS News reported.
Trump’s remarks reflect his growing frustration over efforts to recount votes in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. Several petitions asking electors to defy the results of their particular vote and vote for Clinton have garnered millions of signatures, though the likelihood of that happening is nearly non-existent according to most political observers.
Clinton’s campaign, meanwhile, is backing the decision by Wisconsin authorities to conduct the recount despite saying that no irregularities have been detected in the election, and it said that it will also support recounts in Pennsylvania and MI if the Green Party, as expected, formally requests them.
“The results of this election should be respected instead of being challenged and abused, which is exactly what Jill Stein is doing”, he said in the statement, which didn’t mention Clinton’s involvement.
It should thus come as no surprise that Trump is now applying the same rigged-election logic to the metric by which he did, in fact, lose the election.
While Trump’s senior adviser Kellyanne Conway ridiculed the recount efforts as led by “a bunch of crybabies”, the possibility that the recount may go forward appears to have thrown Trump into a panic. But Democratic rival Hillary Clinton forced his hand on Saturday by formally joining the effort.
“Almost guilting her, ‘Hey, the margin, the margin of victory, ‘ a lot of Clintonites like to point out the margin of victory in MI and in Wisconsin would be made up if all Stein voters had voted Clinton”, which drew an eyeroll from the host. The president elect unleashed a tweetstorm Sunday morning against the recount, and said that, “Nothing will change”. However, Clinton is leading the popular vote by more than two million votes.
“Wisconsin has the most decentralized election system in the United States”, Haas said. A spokesman for Trump did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Romney, until recently a fierce Trump critic, was “nothing but awful” to him for a year, she said.
Trump’s Cuba policy was inconsistent during the campaign.
President-elect Donald Trump is holding a series of meetings all weekend with potential candidates at his New Jersey golf course as he continues to mull over dozens of positions in his upcoming administration.
It’s an unprecedented allegation by a president-elect.
The debate about who is fit for Secretary of State has played out mostly behind closed doors.
Trump beat Clinton in Wisconsin by fewer than 22,200 votes, less than 1 percent of votes cast. “Enact laws guaranteeing the presidency to whomever receives the most popular votes in all 50 states”.
The Sunday talk-show circuit also included discussions of Mitt Romney as a potential secretary of state.
