Montgomery County judge is rejecting Green Party-backed requests for recounts of presidential election results in about 78 precincts.

Judge Bernard Moore gave no immediate reason for the rejection Tuesday, and a lawyer for voters who made the requests says he didn't know yet whether they'll appeal.

State Elections Director Chris Thomas estimated that the full recount could be finished by Dec. 9 or 10, assuming there are no legal objections from other candidates or campaigns. If another candidate were to contest the recount, the process of counting the ballots would be put on hold until the Board of Canvassers can rule on the challenge.

However, should there be a challenge it would be difficult for Michigan to meet the Dec. 13 federal deadline for recounts to be completed. That’s just six days before the Electoral College votes, on Dec. 19, to formally elect the next president.

The campaign of Green Party candidate Jill Stein filed a request for a recount of nearly 4.8 million ballots cast for president in Michigan at 1:30 p.m. today.

Our Founders in their infinite wisdom created the Electoral College to ensure the STATES were fairly represented. Why should one or two densely populated areas speak for the whole of the nation?

The following list of statistics has been making the rounds on the Internet and it should finally put an end to the argument as to why the Electoral College makes sense.

Share this with as many whiners as you can.

Democrats are admitting that recounts in three swing states won't give Hillary Clinton the White House and could cause 'further depression' among her supporters.

'It’s a waste of time and money. It is not going to change anything,' Joe Trippi, campaign manager of Howard Dean's 2004 presidential campaign, told The Hill.

John Kerry alum Robert Shrum told the publication there's 'no chance' that the recount will change the results of an election.

The Democratic National Committee has been silent on the matter, and so has Clinton.

True the Vote, a group dedicated to rooting out vote fraud, issued a statement supporting the charge by President-Elect Donald Trump that millions of illegal votes were cast in the 2016 election.

And there’s this…
A 2014 study found that 25% of illegal aliens polled were registered to vote. The study found that 6.4 percent of non-citizens voted in 2008 and 2.2 percent voted in the off-year 2010. The vast majority of non-citizen votes went to Democratic candidates, according Earnest and Richman.

The Anonymous “insider” says the recount will reveal people out of state voting, non citizens voting, people voting numerous times, and nursing home violations.

Be ready for Trump to improve his margin of victory.

Trump won Wisconsin by 27,506 votes.

The lawyer representing Hillary Clinton’s recount efforts recently led legal battles against state voting laws with an infusion of funding from billionaire George Soros.
On Saturday, Marc Elias, the Clinton team’s general counsel, announced Clinton’s campaign would participate in Green Party candidate Jill Stein’s recount effort in Wisconsin. Elias also said the Clinton campaign would participate if Stein decides to pursue recounts in Pennsylvania and Michigan.

Elias is a senior lawyer at the Perkins Coie law firm, which also represents Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee.

In July, the New York Times reported Soros had pledged up to $5 million for a legal fight led by Elias against what the newspaper characterized as “restrictive voting laws enacted in recent years by Republican-controlled state governments.”

Anything can happen, but these lean odds do not rise to the level of putting our peaceful democracy into the hands of a temptuous recount scheme every time a stung party loses (let alone misleadingly blame it on something else from Russia's Putin, to sexism, to "in hindsight the popular vote would be reasonable", to FBI Director Comey). All Americans should instead focus on how the 6 states that flipped this election, were all economically ignored and all flipped to Donald Trump.

Dr. Jill Stein, the criminal who has an active warrant for here arrest, started an online campaign to raise money for a recount in 3 states. Rumors began to swirl that Hillary Clinton was actually behind the recount. It looks like those rumors are true.

Hillary Clinton has stepped out from behind the curtain. Her campaign is now joining the effort to have 3 states recounted. Of course, she isn’t asking for recounts in any of the states she won by a narrow margin.

Over the last several days, far-left Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein has been dishonestly raising money to pay for an electoral recount aimed at undermining President-elect Donald Trump’s victory.

While there is no evidence to suggest that any recount in the critical battleground states of Wisconsin and Michigan would change the outcome of the election, True the Vote, a group aimed at rooting out voter fraud, does believe Trump’s claim that millions of illegal votes were cast against him in the 2016 election.

Per Pennsylvania regulations, there is only one way remaining for Jill Stein to get a recount in Pennsylvania and it is a complicated process. BillyPenn reports that Stein would have to file for a court appeal and present a “prima facie case” showing that voter fraud took place. While prima facie has a lower burden of proof threshold than “beyond reasonable doubt”, it is still significant. Stein would have to prove in court that fraud was “probable.” This is going to be very difficult given that even the computer specialists recommending the recount say there is no proof of hacking or fraud.

Oops. Jill Stein forgot to mention to her donors that she cannot file a direct request for a recount in Pennsylvania.

Stein would have to present a case showing voter fraud took place.

Below is a list of potential actions the Trump Team should consider in response to the requested and pending state recounts that would allow Hillary Clinton to steal the 2016 election.

Hillary Clinton's campaign says they intend to take part in a recount initiated by Greens Party candidate Jill Stein in Wisconsin.

The campaign said on Saturday it would also support similar action if a recount was initiated in Michigan and Pennsylvania.

Marc Elias, the campaign’s general counsel, wrote in a statement the campaign had quietly taken a number of steps in the last two weeks amid calls for an audit and recount.

This morning Hillary Clinton's campaign general counsel, Marc Elias, confirmed what we all knew already, namely that Jill Stein is likely acting at the direction of the Clintons in her recount efforts in WI, MI and PA. The discovery came after Elias posted a note to Hillary voters this morning on Medium confirming that they would participate in Stein's recount efforts even though the Clinton campaign itself had decided against a recount because they had "not uncovered any actionable evidence of hacking or outside attempts to alter the voting technology."

Former Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein has now raised $4.5million in crowdfunded money - $2.5million more than her initial goal - but she says she needs a total of $7million to fund her proposed election recount.

Stein set up the fund on her website Wednesday after experts said it was possible that hackers had artificially lowered Hillary Clinton's counts in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan.

...

But Stein says even with that money, she can't promise that a recount will go ahead.
'We cannot guarantee a recount will happen in any of these states we are targeting,' she wrote. 'We can only pledge we will demand recounts in those states.'

According to the post a donations to Jill Stein’s election recount campaign are being made at a steady rate of $160,000 on the hour every hour of the day.

The constant rate of donation, 24 hours a day, suggest that a computer program is being used to post the donations as opposed to real people making grassroots donation.

However, the donations are being reported as grassroots donations from a myriad of online supporters to help her verify the integrity of the election.

However, if real individuals are in fact making the actual donations they rate of the donations should drop over night when internet traffic is low.

Following the Florida election debacle of 2000, Americans were promised a more honest, transparent, and verifiable system of elections. We didn;t get it, because the elkection stealers won that election and decided that keeping the current system was their best guaarantee of re-election.

The election of 2016 changed that. The candidate being cheated by the system, Donald Trump, still prevailed thanks to a landslide that overcame the vote rigging. He will see having an honest election system as his best chance for a second term. Hence, there is a real opportunity to throw out the current system, whch is designed to encourage stealing elections, and replace it with a system that hinders cheating as much as possible.

For those of us with long enough memories, the Democratic Party, their media operatives and the Clinton Campaign were claiming that Trump and the GOP would be engaged in this very same behavior after Hillary Clinton won the Presidency (as expected).
Notice how the she is now on the other foot.

During the weeks before the final day of the campaign, both the Clinton camp and the media attacked Donald Trump for refusing to say he would automatically accept the outcome of the vote on Election Day. But now Clinton’s campaign chief is taking meetings with groups urging him to do just that by considering a challenge to the final vote in several of the key states that gave Trump the White House.

Reports from several sources revealed on November 22 that Clinton campaign chief John Podesta was taking meetings with a group claiming it had discovered “irregularities” in several counties of some of the states that Trump won.

According to Germany's influential news magazine Der Spiegel, Chancellor Angela Merkel has decided to run for a fourth term in power and has already started talks on who will run her campaign.

There’s been no official confirmation yet, but Merkel has already hinted that she would seek re-election.

An organization formed back in 1996 to publicize computerized vote fraud, and which continues to monitor election results to detect vote fraud, has issued a statement that it has uncovered evidence of more than three million people who are not U.S. citizens casting votes in this past presidential election.

Gregg Phillips, spokesman for the VoteFraud.org organization, recently tweeted that after completing an analysis of a database of 180 million voter registrations, “We have verified more than three million votes cast by non-citizens.”

Phillips also tweeted that VoteFraud.org (which is affiliated with the Cincinnati-based Citizens for a Fair Vote Count) is joining with a Houston-based organization called True the Vote to initiate legal action against those responsible for the fraudulent voting.

Two Democratic members of the Electoral College have launched a radical last-ditch attempt to stop Donald Trump from winning the presidency.

Bret Chiafolo, a Washington State elector who has already declared his opposition to Hillary Clinton, and Micheal Baca of Colorado have launched what they’ve dubbed “Moral Electors,” an attempt to persuade 37 of their Republican colleagues to bail on Trump — just enough to block Trump’s election and leave the final decision to the House of Representatives. They have the support of a third elector, Washington State’s Robert Satiacum.

“This is a longshot. It’s a hail Mary,” Chiafolo said in a phone interview. “However, I do see situations where — when we’ve already had two or three [Republican] electors state publicly they didn’t want to vote for Trump. How many of them have real issues with Donald Trump in private?”

“We have verified more than three million votes cast by non-citizens,” tweeted Phillips after reporting that the group had completed an analysis of a database of 180 million voter registrations.

Alex Jones breaks down the story of how Hillary and her political apparatchik’s schemed to steal five states, but what they didn’t realize was that the groundswell of patriots would overwhelm their efforts!

The requirement here is modest: a small group of Republican electors must be persuaded to vote their conscience. No question that many of these are appalled at the prospect of a Trump presidency; surely a few are courageous enough to cast a vote for someone else. (Most if not all would vote for another Republican, of course; it doesn’t seem likely that many would choose Hillary Clinton.) Depending upon how current recounts turn out, somewhere between a minimum of ten and a maximum of thirty-seven electors would have to defect in order to bring Trump’s count down to less than 270.

If neither party ends up with 270 votes, then the decision passes to the House of Representatives, and a vote in that chamber determines the winner. The House is permitted to choose from among the three candidates who receive the most votes in the Electoral College. Hence, dissenting electors can rest assured that they — and the voters they represent — will end up with a Republican president.

There was a period during the intense drama of Tuesday night’s election when it appeared possible that Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump would both end up with 269 electoral votes, leaving them tied for the presidency. Should this happen in a presidential election, the Constitution mandates that the House of Representatives choose the winner after the electors cast their votes, which would have prolonged the 2016 political grappling until early January.

But there’s a catch in the rules: Rather than have all 435 House members cast a ballot to break a tie, each state’s congressional delegation chooses a winner independently, so that there are ultimately only 50 or 51 votes cast. (The District of Columbia’s role is ambiguous.) This procedure will be familiar to any fan of the HBO political satire Veep, in which President Meyer is relying on 26 votes in the House to break a deadlock in the electoral college.

SUMMARY: They are trying to steal Arizona and Michigan, and then use special powers to flip 9 electoral votes away from Trump. THERE IS A REASON WHY THEY HAVE REFUSED TO MAKE THEIR TOTALS OFFICIAL. THIS IS NOT OVER YET

Some desperate Democrats are now calling for a wave of faithless electors, insisting the 538 Chosen Ones must save the country from a President Trump. A citizens' petition on the White House website declares it is "incumbent on the present electors to remedy this existential imperilment to the Republic, moreover the planet, by choosing to elect Hillary R. Clinton to the Office of the President of the United States or any other such qualified candidate for that Office."

It's not going to happen. As of Thursday morning, the petition has barely more than 9,000 signatures. No electors from Republican states have declared they won't vote for Trump. (Before the election, a couple of Washington state electors said they might refuse to vote for Clinton if she won the state, which she did. "No, no, no on Hillary. Absolutely not. No way," said one of then, Robert Satiacum, a Bernie Sanders supporter.)

Colorado Democrats are seeking a court order to keep the state’s voting centers open an extra two hours Tuesday night because of a system failure earlier in the day.

Unless a judge orders otherwise, polls are set to close at 7 p.m. Early reports had indicated Democrats were seeking 25 extra minutes of voting, but the party’s filing says it wants voting centers open until 9 p.m.

A polling location has been evacuated because of a suspicious package call, the Winter Park Police Department said.

The call came in to police at 5:30 p.m. and the Winter Park Fire Department is arriving on the scene.

The location of the polling place is located at 760 N. Lakemont.

The polls in Florida are set to close at 7 p.m.

Early morning voters had to resort to paper ballots at Washington County polling locations after a computer glitch Tuesday morning, officials said.

At 7:45 a.m., Washington County Clerk’s Office officials said they were having computer glitches countywide at the polling locations due to an issue with the way the memory cards were programmed. The county clerk said only 99 of the 380 voting machines were programmed incorrectly and the mistake wasn't identified until polls opened.

Donald Trump's campaign filed a lawsuit in Nevada on Tuesday claiming a Nevada county improperly kept some polling locations open on the last night of early voting.

The suit, filed in state court, claims people who were not in line when polls closed at some Las Vegas locations were able to vote on Friday. Nevada law allows people already waiting when the polls close to cast ballots.

The suit against Clark County is not aimed at votes cast on Tuesday. This type of lawsuit is not unusual in presidential elections.

NY1 is getting reports of issues at polling locations around the city, from machines being broken to long waits. NY1 reporters will be monitoring throughout the day.

Reports of voter intimidation, voting machine problems and Trump-supporting poll observers being harassed and kicked out of venues are starting to come in from Philadelphia.

Poll observer Mike Roman has been tweeting about harassment of Trump supporters all day.

Video footage posted on Twitter shows an African-American man attempting to vote for Donald Trump in Pennsylvania but the voting machine refusing to select any other option than Hillary Clinton.

Anyone who thinks the mail-in-ballot fiasco in Broward County is over either isn't looking hard enough or doesn't want to know.

Nearly 180,000 mail-in votes cast have not been legally counted. Look for this to end up in court.

It's a story that came to light last Wednesday when Republican Party of Florida officials alleged the office of Broward Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes was opening thousands of absentee ballots before they were approved by the Broward County canvassing board.

A temporary worker for the Broward County Supervisor of Elections Office in Florida has alleged in a sworn affidavit obtained by Newsmax that she was fired this week after witnessing possible absentee ballot fraud by office workers.

But the State Attorney's Office concluded Friday that the workers were duplicating ballots by hand from damaged originals faxed by military personnel and that "there is nothing improper or illegal about the conduct" under state law.

There are disturbing signs that a digital 9/11 terror attack is being readied for election day in the US to ensure that Donald Trump does not win.

Such an attack – involving widespread internet and power outage – would have nothing to do with Russia or any other foreign state. It would be furnished by agencies of the US Deep State in a classic “false flag” covert manner. But the resulting chaos and “assault on American democracy” will be conveniently blamed on Russia. That presents a double benefit. Russia would be further demonized as a foreign aggressor “justifying” even harsher counter measures by America and its European allies against Moscow.

Secondly, a digital attack on America’s presidential election day this week, would allow the Washington establishment to pronounce the result invalidate due to “Russian cyber subversion”. That option stands to be invoked if the ballot results showed Republican candidate Donald Trump as the imminent victor.
