I have an uneasy kind of sick to my stomach feeling about this. My first inclination is that Clinton didn't want the investigation to look like it was coming from her; so she enlisted Stein's help.
Jill Stein, liberals seek voting hack investigation
Washington (CNN)Jill Stein's bid to seek a vote recount in three key Rust Belt states is gaining steam as pressure builds among liberals to challenge the presidential election results.
The Stein campaign said it needed to raise over $2 million by Friday to pay for recounts -- a goal it quickly met. The fundrasing goal was then upped to $4.5 million, which it also met. The current goal is $7 million.
Stein, the Green Party nominee, and others are seeking an audit and recount of the November 8 voting results in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, following reports that voting security experts alerted Hillary Clinton's campaign to the possibility of hacks in key counties in those states.
"Over the last 48-72 hours, reports have come in from experts, cyber experts, who are reporting to us some very troubling news about the possibility of security breaches in voting results across this country," Stein campaign manager David Cobb said in a video posted to Stein's Facebook page Wednesday afternoon.
President-elect Donald Trump claimed Pennsylvania and Wisconsin -- wins that helped push him comfortably over the threshold of 270 Electoral College votes needed for victory -- while Michigan remains too close to call, more than two weeks after Election Day.
While the loss of those states played a large part in Clinton's downfall, her lead in the popular vote has continued to grow. She now has close to 2 million more votes than Trump -- and pressure has been mounting among liberals for an investigation into what happened on Election Day.
"Demand an audit. Make the call," filmmaker Joss Whedon tweeted late Tuesday, with a picture of Clinton reading "She Won."

hah hah The Denial Squad in overdrive - making themselves look even worse than they already do and prolonging the contemptuous scrutiny of the public directed at the U.S.'s far left political movement. Malcontents, kooks, rioters, cop-killers, criminals, Communists. All working together to make themselves look as bad as possible to normal U.S. voters who rejected them in the election and in their hearts.
Stein, along with the Washington Post (which today is trying to blame Hill-O-Lies' defeat on stupid voters who believed Russian hacking of U.S. media) is doing her damnedest to
help the far left maintain its severe detachment from reality by blaming anyone and everyone except themselves for their loss.
Clearly Stein is already moving to inoculate herself from the same sort of pariah status that Ralph Nader acquired with a substantial number of far-leftists who hold him accountable for the loss of algore of the 2000 election by losing Florida (though nobody will ever know for sure if Nader's presence was the critical factor in that).
It is hilarious irony to me that Stein single-handed apparently cost Hill-O-Lies Michigan, since Stein's vote total (no doubt derived almost 100% from the far left) was greater than the margin of Clinton's loss in that state. Selah! Nice job, Jill!!!
Had Stein not run, Trump would have lost Michigan and then the battle to recount the two other states that are close enough to warrant a recount would have been a less-costly endeavor for the 'Crats (those three recounts will cost millions of dollars).
Owing to the leftist proclivity to assign reality to urban myths whether or not they are true, Stein no doubt fears that she may become
persona non grata with the leftists who gave her a meager amount of relevance in 2016 because of what she did to Hill-O-Lies' chances of winning the election. Bravo!!!
If Stein had not run, then the libertarian candidate, who attracted mostly conservative votes, would have been responsible for Trump's loss in Michigan, since his total exceeded what would have been the margin of victory for Hill-O-Lies if Stein's votes were added to the Bitch's.
