Trump calls recount effort a 'scam'
By Harper Neidig - 11/26/16 03:24 PM EST

President-elect Donald Trump blasted Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein on Saturday for pushing for a recount in several states, calling her efforts a "scam."

"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.

Citing concerns that voting systems have been compromised, Stein filed for a recount in Wisconsin on Friday afternoon, and has been fundraising off her vow to do the same in Pennsylvania and Michigan — all states in which Trump won or is leading.

On Saturday, Hillary Clinton’s general counsel Marc Elias said that the campaign would be participating in the Wisconsin recount, though they had discovered no evidence that the voting process had been interfered with. He said the campaign would join the effort in the other states if Stein continued pushing for a recount there.

It's not a recount, it is a vote manufacturing process, and the democRATs are well-capable of manufacturing enough votes to give Hillary a "victory".

Last ditch effort to scam her way in.

I am sure they will suddenly "find" thousands of votes that were not there before. And all the new 'found' votes will all vote for Hillary. That is the way it usually works.


The 'scam' part of it is the crowd funding effort the Green Party did to get this going. Apparently Soros and other Global Socialism groups gave them 2.5 million dollars to do this.

You know..... King Trumpy has said that he doesn't want to investigate and prosecute Hillary.   If she had a brain she would drift off to obscurity with her millions and leave well enough alone.   If she continues to torque him he may change his mind.

Its no coincidence that presidential election recount fiascos over the past 20 years occur only following democrat losses.

[geronl]

It is a legal process that is law. So it is not a scam.

Hillary has now stepped in and decided to advance this recount. What if the startling announcement is then made by "the authorities" that Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania (where Trump won by 70K votes) have all flipped to Clinton. Then she insists she's the President. Just say it so we can engage in a little critical thinking here...remember critical thinking? Remember discussing various scenarios because it's interesting to do? So I repeat, what then? A very smart individual told me recently she believes that "conservatives ironically are too civil for a civil war." I agree. I also think whomever is behind this decision to go ahead with a recount likewise agrees.

[Rivergirl]

What a surprise.  Another trumpertantrum from the pres elect.

The sad part of this is that the GOP did not field a candidate who would have made this election a slam-dunk.

Folks, I just realized (chillingly I might add) that Hillary would not jump into this recount situation unless she thinks the results will be reversed and she'll be the next President. I ask you in all seriousness...what then?

Exactly.  The liberal left lunatics will protest and fight until they get what they want. Meanwhile the conservatives sit back and accept what is dealt to them!  I am not a Trump supporter, but in the event this election flips to Clinton, I do hope that the masses will rise up and fight back. I will stand with them.

[libertybele]

Trump better have his team of expert lawyers and others in place to handle this and also ensure fraud doesn't go on.  This may wind up going all the way to the SCOTUS just like during Bush v. Gore.

How is it a scam if it is just a recount?  They can count it over and over again from now until the next election.  That may be stupid, but it is not a scam.

It all depends on how many boxes of ballots get found/lost.

They've had a lot of time to "find" uncounted ballots. Especially after everyone thought it was over and their guard has been down. Those ballots will be found in the big urban areas where naturally they nearly all voted for Hillary...

@DB

Trump is all about scamming, imo, whether with outright lies, exaggerations, or phony emotions.  So he has no room to point fingers.  Anyway, it is not a scam until it is actually a scam.  Right now protesting just makes him look like the scammer.  So count the votes again.  Let all the cards be laid out.  If someone tries to cheat, prosecute them.  Whining is for losers.

I'm not defending Trump. He's a train wreck. I just know how the Democrats operate. If they're willing to spend 5 million dollars, they expect some results.

Maybe they'll find a few in the trunk of Al Franken's car.

All they have to do is delay certification of electors for those states, and Trump won't have 270. If they flip one or more with "found" votes, then that would help her over 270.

Yep. Very presidential of him isn't it?

She'd need all three of them.

[Free Vulcan]

She'd need all three of them.

Michigan has finished their recount and canvasses the vote tomorrow. That should put an end to this.

[HonestJohn]

Trump said the elections were rigged.  He didn't say for whom, however.
