Jill Stein raises more funds for recount than entire presidential campaign

Stein is asking for a recount in Wisconsin and most likely in Pennsylvania and Michigan. The three states Clinton needs to win the election. Note: Clinton herself has not asked for the recpount but MS Stein.
She raised more money for the recount than she did for the actual election campaign. She also raised if very fast. Has anyone checked the Clinton Campaign to see if they are funneling money to her so she can be the "Bad Guy" about the vote and the recount (just paranoid about the Clintons).
Next it will be Gov. Johnson asking for a recount in other states. They really want to get Hillary into the white House by hook or crook.
The article says they (the recount requestor) needs to show cause for the recount. I'm not sure what MS Stein has to say there other than she doesn't want Trump to be President and wants a recount to possible throw the election into question .

    Gov Johnson has way too much integrity to do this rubbish for Clinton money. Stein is showing her true colors: corrupt and irresponsible.
    WShipley is right. This is a dry hole for the socialists.
    More sour grapes because the well of illegal, duplicitous Dem votes went dry.

    If the Democrats succeed in this strategy, there will be consequences far beyond the recount. The results will not be accepted by the Trump supporters, just as the Left isn't accepting the Trump victory. There will be violence and civil unrest and the idea of a peaceful transition will die.

      Do you think anyone would be ready to show the Dems exactly what real civil unrest, or a real riot, looks like? Sometimes I feel that's exactly what they need but my upbringing always seems to get in the way.

    I still don't think there is a transition as much as a deception in thinking Trump is somehow different when it comes to protecting liberty. He is different only in appearance and will prove the same in objectives.

    Many years ago a famous comedian said, "Insanity is inherited. You get it from your children." I would add to that..."and your political party."
    If you go on a few lib sites, you'll find Greenlady Jill getting attaboys all over the place. See? It's catching.

    All the liberals are distraught over the "evil" Trump victory. They are willing to pony up cash for the hope that a recount will save them.

    Of course this isn't Florida 2000 where there were 1784 votes (brought down to 537 with selective recounting). The minimum is Michigan with 10,704, Wisconsin has 27,257 and Pennsylvania has 70,638. Nothing is going to happen.

    I don't believe Stein even got 8% of votes anywhere. After hearing her campaigning against Hillary, that a vote for her is a vote for WW3, the only possibility for her motive is that she got bought out, like Bernie. Probably Soros or Clinton Fdn money. Rumor is Soros and that they may have planted something on voting machines he owns. Nevertheless, Soros or Clinton money, "What difference, at this time, does it make?"

    Green party has asked for recounts before. Just for publicity I think. They have so little chance of winning an election that even Bernie Sanders wouldnt join them when he got dumped by Hildebeast.

    I recall Hillary conceding to Trumps win, should not that be the end of it? If they continue and find discrepancies in the recounts it should make no difference. In any case this proves to me that there could be some money making opportunities here, getting free money from "D's" to do something to make it more difficult for Trump to move on or succeed. After you get the money you could do a "flip-flop" or as the Dems new rhetoric, you could "evolve" on your reasoning and use the money to help Trump. It would/should only go down as politics by today's standards.

    The Michigan election team has just conducted a recount, and is unlikely to permit another one. Stein has no credible reason to ask for a recount, and admits there is no evidence of hacking or fraud in any of the three states, as does the Clinton team. The claim is that a recount would enforce the integrity of the election. Hopefully all three states will reject her request as without credible justification.

    What's interesting is that the oh so honest Ms Stein states that she has no intention of returning the money donated even if the request for recount is denied, but will use any money collected to set up a voting integrity foundation (whatever the hell that would be). In any event it's a pretty good scam.

    I suppose Stein has figured out that she can milk a lot of money from Clinton and her supporters by this pointless publicity stunt.
    She probably thinks it's immoral to let suckers keep their money.

    Either that, or she is just doing this on the behest of Clinton who doesn't want to be seen as doing it herself, so she is having a proxy do it for her.

    mminnick if you check out Stein's background I think you'll find it's not "MS Stein" (sic) but actually Dr Stein. She was an internal medicine physician for 25 years, and also a medical tutor at Harvard.

    UPDATE: Ms Stein filed for a recount in Wisconsin at 3:30 CST (Approximately) today (11/25/2016). She also stated she planned on asking for a recount in Pennsylvania. She made no mention of Michigan.
    I'm guessing that if the recount overturns the result in both states she will then ask for a recount in Michigan. Personally I think she is doing the work of the Democrat Party since they don't want to appear to be making waves about the election.
    There is no rational reason for thinking that a recount will significantly change her vote total and no real reason to think that the toal will change significantly for the other candidates.
    If her purpose is to sow discontent among the voters, she wins, if it to overturn the election results, I would estimate there is a 99.99% change it won't.

      She can ask for a recount in Michigan, she needs to convince a court in Pennsylvania. She has to file by Monday in Pennsylvania and Wednesday in Michigan. She cannot wait until any of them are completed because they will take a long time.

      Wisconsin is concerned about making the December 19 hard deadline. The very same hard deadline that the Supreme Court cited Bush v Gore in stopping the 2000 recount. The court had no interest in depriving a state of it's vote over legal infighting.

    I think in light of this DNC requested re count we should do a complete re count in every state and eliminate all the illegal votes cast by those who are not US citizens or any others who did not have the right to vote. This would include the dead, the illegals, those who cast double, triple and multiple votes as well as all of the convicted felons who threw their rights in the trash.
    Seems a bit odd to me that the party who insists upon "truth" in voting does all they can to promote anything but!

    I definitely think we need a recount in the states Hillary "supposedly" won then. They lovers never accept they have lost, and she is acting like a handmaiden to the Democrats. I an see her on a team with ElizabethWarren, hags.
