http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2016/11/recount-freakout.phpRecount FreakoutIf you’re a liberal, anything is better than admitting that you lost. So now,
just weeks after cautioning Donald Trump’s supporters that they had better accept the results of the e******n unlike the Democrats in 2000 and 2004), Democrats led by Jill Stein are demanding recounts in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. Left-wingers have donated millions of dollars, and the Hillary Clinton campaign has announced that it will participate in Stein’s recount efforts.
The p**********l e******n wasn’t particularly close: T***p w*n, 306-232. Still, if you convert Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania to Hillary Clinton victories, she would edge Trump out, 278 to 260. That is obviously the basis on which those states were chosen. However, there is zero chance that a recount will change the result in any of those states, let alone all of them. T***p w*n Wisconsin by more than 20,000 v**es, Michigan by 10,704 v**es, and Pennsylvania by more than 70,000 v**es. Lots of luck with those recounts.
Jill Stein claims that she isn’t trying to favor one p**********l candidate over the other, but only wants to assure a fair process. That is nonsense. The states she and other liberal activists have chosen to challenge are not those where the race was closest. How about New Hampshire, which Hillary Clinton won by around 2,700 v**es? Or Nevada, which she won by a little over 26,000? Even Minnesota was a whole lot closer than Pennsylvania; with its notoriously lax b****t security, Minnesota could be fertile territory for questioning e******n results.
Liberals know they aren’t going to overturn the result of the e******n through recounts, they just want to undermine Trump’s victory by making vague allegations of irregularities, “hacking,” and so on, which will circulate in the fever swamp for the next four years. It is, in other words, just another attempt by liberals to undermine our democracy.
