As for Stein, who knows what her motives are; sounds like she just wants her 15 minutes of fame; for those who donated to the recount cause, too bad they couldn't find a truelly worthy cause to support.
Nothing except give the snowflakes a chance to whine about how a recount was rigged by the GOP.

Unless they think there is something to hide. Right?
First off, I didn't care who won. I hated both cadidates equally. So I'm not coming at this from a perspective of bias.

But if it was about the election "not being rigged" and nothing else, then recounts would happen in every single state. At minimum, every single state where the vote was close. Why isn't that happening? Because the Dems don't give a crap about truth or justice or anything like that. They just want to take a shot at stealing the election. And yes you are right, Trump and his faithful would have done the same thing. Doesn't matter who is pulling the whole recount thing, it's childish and a waste of time and blatantly dishonest in its approach.

Consider for a moment how this plays out:
  1. Clinton and her demonstrably loyal supporter and ally Jill Stein (I must say that's disappointing) have yet to uncover any evidence of foul play.
  2. They're pursuing it anyways, "Just in case."
  3. If they can dredge up enough evidence -- fabricated or real -- to overturn the election results, they will.
  4. In the unlikely event that they are successful, Trump will follow suit.
  5. First Trump will call for an investigation of the recount.
  6. Then Trump will call for a recount in every state he lost by a narrow margin.
  7. If Trump is successful, then Hillary and her henchwoman Jill will call for an investigation into that recount
  8. The recount debacle will expand to even more states.
  9. And back and forth this whole thing goes.
  10. Long and short of it, this could take years to resolve.

Or ... we could spare the American people, save millions of dollars to be spent on something useful and just leave it alone.

It's like watching two toddlers fighting over the same toy -- exactly what I've come to expect from the two utterly useless "big" political parties in the United States. The sooner that both of them just die out already, the better it'll be for all of us. How much more useless can you get??

I think strict voter Id laws should be required in every state but seriously doubt the Dems will ever go along with it.

However, if voter fraud can be shown to take place in large numbers (say this year in California) it would make it much harder for the Dems to pretend it doesn't occur.

Personally, I don't believe the Dems cheated this year but only because they knew the Trump was watching closely and because they thought HC would easily win the ECV.

But I do think cheating went on in Cal after it became apparent Trump would win the ECV. The Dems had to ensure HC won the popular vote by as much as possible and thus the Cal. numbers were padded.

Well, Trump repeatedly said they were rigged. Turns out, he may have been correct for once, huh?

If there were any doubt about Politico's bias, it is washed away by one simple fact: Those idiots still refuse to call Michigan.

Their map was the most useful map I could find on election night with one-click vote breakdown per state and lots of nice things like that. But it got super annoying when they repeatedly refused to call states that everyone had already done long since.

Just wish there was just one completely neutral source for news, election results, etc. that offers high quality content. Alas, all the best stuff is monopolized by extremely biased news organizations.

Personally, I think that would have been a lot less embarrassing for you. But then again, it's not my problem, it's yours.
You should be a little embarrassed with the statement in bold. The "Count" from Sesame Street is in your corner.

Do you know why the count is called the count?
Because he really loves to count. Sometimes he sits and counts all day, but sometimes he gets carried away.

Hillary's camp is clear. They want a simple recount not an audit. An audit would "intimidate future voters" (and check to see if people were legally voting).

Enough already.
They don't understand the concept of throwing good money after bad money.

The Democrats are doing a major disservice to themselves right now, by giving their voters false hope and further dividing the country.

Even Obama has abandoned ship on Hillary and is finally telling her to get over it.
