Clinton joins vote recount effort

[rob base]

I axially think Trump got it right when he said this: "The Democrats, when they incorrectly thought they were going to win, asked that the election night tabulation be accepted. Not so anymore!"

Another part of the grieving process?

Actually I think grief is passing. I think it's more, you think you understand obstruction? Wait till thinking people, with money, start playing that game... 

Im actually more interested in the Louisiana senate run off, but to each their own.

The thing is, it takes so little to piss DT off and send him into a flutter... i doubt it will get old. His twitter storm this morning was worth it alone.

[dezailoooooo]

Doubt a recount will change things..just p off the Donald more so he can tweet and moan and groan...just show how unprepared he is for the job..psychologically the man is a wreck...however, it is important to get it right , especially this one so why the objection by anyone...?

Why did you write "axially" instead of 'actually'?

I've come to grips. It's just that my and others instinct isn't to just bitch for 8 years. Its to work and to do, so yeah, you should probably expect that...

‘This is a scam’: Donald Trump blasts Jill Stein’s recount effort

Yahoo News Colin CampbellYahoo NewsNovember 26, 2016

President-elect Donald Trump denounced former Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein on Friday for her campaign to recount the votes in three states.

“This is a scam by the Green Party for an election that has already been conceded, and the results of this election should be respected instead of being challenged and abused, which is exactly what Jill Stein is doing,” Trump said in a statement released by his transition team.

“This recount is just a way for Jill Stein … to fill her coffers with money, most of which she will never even spend on this ridiculous recount,” Trump said.


sure didn't take long, something to look forward to the next four years if recount doesn't over turn, the Donald meltdown, tweet , newscast interview...any and all if he doesn't like what is being done,  said, initiuated, suggested, silenty thought of , contemplated by some or insinuated...like clock work...right on time..the Donald , my POTUS....[shudder..sigh...oh well

Dunno why the righties have their undies in a twist. There is no downside for them.
If the Wisc recount changed Wisc's EV's, they still have an EC win overall.
If the recount affirms the original count, everyone can rest assured that there was no rigging

Otoh, DT's tweeter tantrums are pretty amusing. More fodder for SNL and other comedians

good  point made....will have to mark on calender to watch on Sat nights..hope the shtick..the Donald skit goes on about same time every show...this way the show would get the ratings and the watcher wouldn't have to watch whole show if they didn't want to..especially since many seniors would be tuning in and late late night TV is a bit much for many of them...

[Deleted]

Oh I contributed to recount. $ and 3 in my family were the only 3 needed to petition a recount in my precinct too. Totally worth it. That is doing something. I'll be peacefully protesting. That's doing something. Letters, phone calls, post card bombs, etc. those are things to do that are even more effective with such a thin skinned leader. I'm also planning economic choices. It's a multi layered path of doing...

[rob base]

So....if u say the results of the election should be accepted....and then u challenge them.....that is NOT being a hypocrite....,interesting......

[Deleted]

I'm actually stopping many of the things I do to help the locals I usually do. They wanted trump, let him help them. I will still continue as I always do to support causes and peoples who are in need, but I'm aligning those recipients more with my values.

Make no mistake though, my efforts will be multi fold. And I will take advantage of all my rights in protesting and working against the efforts of the incoming administration. And it won't be 'whining' and I will not be alone.

You seem to be confused as to what a recount actually is........ It is not a challenge, but rather an attempt to verify the results.  What's wrong with that?  What are you afraid of?

Yes, this exactly. I thought they were afraid Trump would try to overthrow the government....like remember him talking to his supporters about exercising their 2nd amendment rights? A recount is just simply making sure that the numbers are tabulated correctly and there were no computer tabulation or human errors involved. Everything I have read indicates that we have long know that out system should have physical audits done in every election cycle (not a complete audit, but at least a partial audit) but that we don't because of the cost.

The green party and the democratic party are just trying to ensure that the democratic process is working as it should.  Why do you object so much to there being a recount?  Are you afraid your candidate or your party really did participate in some sort of shenanigans.

I don't think the recount will result in any sort of change, but I am just sick that a candidate can win the popular vote by 2 million votes and lose the election.  I don't think the will of the less populated states should prevail over those in more urban areas.  If this goes on, I don't see how we can continue to be one nation, indivisible...sooner or later, those who are not represented equally are going to choose to exit the Union.

aHA...Just a matter of time..The Donaled has weighed in on hillery joining the recount suite...He's not happy with her...wonder if he tries to get back at her by reassessing decision of asking Attorney General to consider looking at her for possible prosecution for what ever..now that will go a long way toward healing the country...can he do that, get involved with AG on such a request..?

Trump rails against Clinton for joining election recount

Yahoo News Dylan Stableford

Senior editor

Yahoo NewsNovember 27, 2016

President-elect Donald Trump is railing against ex-rival Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign for joining in a recount of the votes cast in Wisconsin. The effort, which he already called “a scam,” was launched by Green Party nominee Jill Stein.

“Hillary Clinton conceded the election when she called me just prior to the victory speech and after the results were in,” Trump wrote in the first of a series of tweets early Sunday morning. “Nothing will change.”

Hillary Clinton conceded the election when she called me just prior to the victory speech and after the results were in. Nothing will change

On Saturday, Clinton campaign general counsel Marc Elias said that while his team “had not uncovered any actionable evidence of hacking or outside attempts to alter the voting technology,” they would participate in the Stein-led recount in Wisconsin as well as recounts in Pennsylvania and Michigan if Stein is successful in initiating them.

Trump pointed to the criticism he received from Clinton and other Democrats when he refused to say he would accept the results of the election when asked during the third presidential debate."

I will accept the results of the election. Verifying those results isn't failure to accept them however. I think recounts should be routine. We should have faith in our process and I don't think anyone should fear a recount.

As bean said, the issue with trump was different. He seemed to suggesting non acceptance outside of routine and legal means.

I honestly don't believe we've been one nation, indivisible for ages.  The urban areas are getting a taste of the disenchantment the rural areas have had with national politics for ages.  It just "hurts" more because the urban areas are used to getting their way.  I believe things still would have been very divisive if Clinton had been elected.  Thankfully she wasn't. 

The alternative of Trump as president is less than stellar, but one could hope this could be a wake up call for both sides.  You want to be divisive and force your ineffective policies down everyone's throats?  This is what you get.

The Clinton campaign has said flat out that they don't believe the recount will change the results.  They didn't initiate the recount process, the Green Party initiated it.  All the Clinton campaign has said is that they will participate in the recount process.  

And if the shoe was on the other foot, then I'd be supportive of Trump requesting a recount in those states.  Asking for a recount is not the same as contesting the results of the election.  And the Clinton campaign has made i clear they are not contesting the results.

It's only Trump and Kellyanne Conway who seem to be confused about the difference between a recount vs contesting/accepting an election result.  And if it's such a big deal to them, then why aren't they busy bitching about McCory in NC who is requesting a recount and trying to push the election to the state legislator?

Now now, let's be honest..... If the sitch were 100% reversed and Trump lost and wanted in on a "recount" .......how would the press and people be reacting?
