Jill Stein recount requests

[Andrew]

Wisconsin election law calls for the county boards of canvassers to decide whether to do a hand recount or a machine recount for federal elections, unless a court orders otherwise.  It's not for the Wisconsin election commission to decide.  It looks like Wisconsin will pay as much attention to their own recount laws as Ohio did in 2004.

So they can't add a list of 72 numbers, but we're supposed to believe they got the vote count right?

So what's the problem with a recount?

This.  Anyone who is having his time "wasted" is being paid for that time.  Anyone who is having his money "wasted" is choosing to spend that money.  So there is really nothing to be upset about.

These recounts will certainly result in vote totals that differ from the original ones, pointing out the fact that our votes are never counted accurately.  I think that has value.

...TRUMP WON.  YOU LOST.  If you don't like that....suck it up . . .

Trash talking as though this was some sort of sporting event diminishes its importance.  Elections have consequences. 

Those who voted for Clinton (or anyone else other than Trump) didn't lose the election; they weren't running. 

It's my judgment that they, along with all other Americans--including those who voted for Trump--lost by electing a president who clearly has no idea what he is doing--and perhaps more importantly, doesn't know what he doesn't know.  His clownish behavior has not decreased since the election, and I see no reason to think that it will decrease after he's inaugurated.

What a waste of money.

Go Johnson! Go Castle! Thanks for wasting more taxpayer money kooky lady.

The money for the recounts was donated by people who wanted it spent on recounts.  Nobody's money is being wasted.
