Jill Stein Forces Wisconsin Recount

Few things

Wisconsin will begin a historic presidential recount next week and the state could risk losing its ability to have its 10 electoral votes counted if it doesn’t meet key deadlines next month.

Hitting a Dec. 13 deadline could be particularly tricky if Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein is able to force the recount to be conducted by hand, Wisconsin’s top election official said.

Stein and independent presidential candidate Roque “Rocky” De La Fuente separately filed recount requests late Friday, the last day they were able to do so. Stein received about 31,000 votes and De La Fuente about 1,500 out of 3 million cast.

One or both of them will have to pay for the recount because they lost by more than 0.25%. The cost could top $1 million.

Stein is also planning to ask for recounts in Michigan and Pennsylvania, which have deadlines next week. She has raised $5 million for the recounts in recent days — more than she raised during her campaign leading up to the Nov. 8 election.

Wisconsin’s recount will likely begin late next week, once the state has tallied a cost estimate and received payment from Stein’s campaign, said Michael Haas, administrator of the Wisconsin Elections Commission.

First, what a sweet deal for Stein. She helps bleed off votes from the Democrats during the election and now she’s using the Democrats’ hysteria over a rigged election to bilk them out of millions. Well played, Jill… well played.

Second, where was all of this concern over voting machines and vote fraud before the election when the Democrats and the media were sure that Clinton was going to win? I seem to remember them chastising Republicans for having concerns about vote fraud, but now they are behaving like true believers. Situational ethics are pretty forgiving.

Third, I have no doubt that the result will be the same after the recount is done. And while it is a big PITA, at least some election workers will get some nice overtime right before Christmas.

    Saw some lady in a priest’s outfit on TV saying her focus was on making Wisconsin elections fair after we have been disenfranchised by the Republican redistricting and voter ID.

    While I am not sure what religion focuses on fair elections, I do remember the Democrats redistricting in the past and liberal organizations like Voices de la Frontera fighting voter ID so I can understand feeling discriminated against by those in power.  I think it was the vans with Illinois plates that did it for me.

    Stein and her friends may enjoy spending Soros’ money but let’s be honest.  All this is in response to someone that was not approved winning the election.http://www.bootsandsabers.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_yahoo.gifhttp://www.bootsandsabers.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_yahoo.gifhttp://www.bootsandsabers.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_yahoo.gifhttp://www.bootsandsabers.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_yahoo.gifhttp://www.bootsandsabers.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_yahoo.gif

    Hypocrites.

    Now vote rigging and vote fraud is a concern.

    At least we stopped the buses of out of state Democrats from voting this time with voter ID.

    I think it is hysterical that the liberals fought voter ID because there was no voter fraud but with voter ID there is fraud.  Kind of makes your head want to explode.

    “At least we stopped the buses of out of state Democrats from voting this time with voter ID”.

    More fiction from the Master.

    Hmmm, the article you posted doesn’t mention any actual action, but rather a proposed method.  Comprehension evades you once again.

    Nord,

    Sounds like you would stand on deck of Titanic just before it goes completely under saying, “this ship is not sinking.”

    This Democrat hack was explaining factual history.

  7. Le Roi du Nord

    So you admit you didn’t read the article, or really didn’t care what the topic was?

    Nord,

    I made an offhand comment after commenting on article.

    You then countered that comment as “fiction”.

    I then accused you of failing to face basic reality of Democrats busing fraudulent voters into WI.  (And I did it fairly nicely).

    That is how we got here.

    kevin:

    That how you got where ever you are.  If I screw up I’ll own up to it and move no.  You just try to rationalize an excuse, because you are never, ever, wrong.  But you were and are yet.
