CORRECTION: You will note that I changed the title of this post to reflect that “some members” of the Green Party not all have disavowed Jill Stein’s recount initiative.

Pursuant to a twitter notification received, there are those members of the Greens who are taking a neutral stance in which case, the following update beneath this correction may not be true.

@PUMAbydesign Some GPUS delegates and members. Not all of them. GPUS has taken neutral stance, so far.

ORIGINAL POST:

 

Maryland Senate candidate Margaret Flowers of the Green Party posted an open letter on her website entitled Greens Speak Out on Recount and Our Commitment to an Independent Party which disavows Stein’s recount initiative and any connection thereto by the Greens.

The letter which states, “While we support electoral reforms, including how the vote is counted, we do not support the current recount being undertaken by Jill Stein” was signed by leading members of the Green Party, all of whom are opposed to the recount and Stein’s alliance (although denied) with “two capitalist parties” that serve the interests of the wealthy” (in this instance, the Democratic Party); namely, the DNC and Hillary Clinton.

Greens Speak Out on Recount and Our Commitment to an Independent Party – Excerpt below: (EDITED)

…That is why it is imperative that the Green Party is independent of those parties. We stay independent to give people an alternative to the corruption of two money-based parties. Greens reject donations from corporations and their political action committees to ensure we are accountable to the people and so that the people’s agenda is not superseded by the corporate agenda….

While we support electoral reforms, including how the vote is counted, we do not support the current recount being undertaken by Jill Stein.

The decision to pursue a recount was not made in a democratic or a strategic way, nor did it respect the established decision making processes and structures of the Green Party of the United States (GPUS)….

[Flowers also included a link to google drive for those who wished the sign and/or share the letter.]

Actions that cannot be reversed.

Stein and the Green Party will be forever tainted, concerns of which Stein’s running mate, Alamo Baraka expressed with the Green Party presidential candidate.  Baraka, according to his Facebook post, for reasons that he does not care to make public does not share Stein’s position on the hand recount of electoral votes in PA, MI and WI.

I believe that Dr. Stein sincerely believed that she had an obligation, grounded in her commitment to the principle of election integrity, to mount a challenge to the results in those three states. And while I don’t share that position for reasons that I am not going to try and elaborate on here on Facebook, the notion that her decision was made for any other reason than that is a position that I cannot support. There are many in and outside of the Green Party who support the campaign’s decision to call for a recount. But there are also many Green Party activists and supporters who are opposed to that decision.

It is unfortunate that after waging a courageous campaign to build an independent, principled political opposition to the two racist, capitalist/imperialist parties, the recount effort has resulted in serious questions regarding the motivations of the recount that threatens to damage the standing and reputation of the Green party, its supporters, and activists.

While the above disavowal of Stein’s recount efforts in collusion with Hillary Clinton is officially on record, not only are donations continuing to pour in to the party at Jill2016 #Recount2016, Stein has raised the  ceiling of her fundraising goal (again) from $7,000,000 to $9,500,000.

According to the website, the state of Wisconsin has increased the “initial estimate” of its recount filing fee from $1.1 million to $3.5 million.  See screenshots below.

As of 3 p.m. Tuesday, 11/29/2016, the goal was $7,000,000:

My last check was 3:30 a.m., 11/30/2016, goal now raised to $9,500,000.

The language on the website had also been changed (a) reflecting the reason for increasing the ceiling and new cost estimates (which are probably not final).  See screenshots below:

Regardless of the reason for steadily raising the $$$$ goal, To quote Tyler Durden,   Zero Hedge, “Apparently, the more money she raises the more expensive the recount effort becomes.”

Besides the question as to who exactly the “130,000 small donors” are, Stein must be aware that the optics are bad and while everyone is entitled to their own opinions on the collusion of Stein/Clinton calling for a hand recount in the states of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, one is always reminded that there is malicious intent to everything remotely connected to Hillary Clinton.

Worse than the optics are Stein’s talking points.  They do not hold water.

And as to why Stein would cast her lot with Clinton there by selling her soul and that of the Green Party along with it is besides me.

From Clinton’s perch over the swamp, this grimy politician could care less.  To her, Stein and the Greens are nothing more than collateral damage to be stepped on and over as she plots her rise back to the top.  Soros and her foreign donors demand as much.

 

H/t and a hearty thanks to HocusPocus13.

UPDATE:  Media propagandists are distracting Americans with fake news surrounding the collusion of failed 2016 presidential candidates Jill Stein of the Green Party with fellow loser Hillary Clinton.

Not much is being said about what I believe is the true intent of the nefarious deeds of these two hags.

Timing is suspect and intentional.

Stein, a pawn for Hillary and George Soros who are pulling her puppet strings is suddenly in place to sue/push for recounts in Wisconsin and Michigan which will begin Thursday.

Why don’t they just recount Jill Stein’s Votes? That shouldn’t take more than a couple of minutes. pic.twitter.com/iO9tzOOQ2V

Stein is working to force Pennsylvania’s hand as well while Hillary Clinton remains in the background is simply going along for the ride.  Yeah, right.

Fake News pushing the talking point: “what’s everyone so worked up about?”

As they have done for the past 16 months, Communist fake news sites continue to use twisted talking points to mock Donald Trump and his supporters.  A favorite: Why are Trump and his supporters so worked up over the recount efforts?

Where do we begin?

For starters and as mentioned below, Jill Stein began her fundraising efforts in the middle of last week (two weeks after the 2016 presidential election) intentionally throwing a wrench into the process.

Above amount raised as of 3:15 p.m. 11/29/2016

Stein who continues to rake in the $$$$ is asking for a “hand recount” while fully cognizant that:

• she had already missed Pennsylvania’s deadline to file for a recount by 48 hours,
• Stein would also sue if necessary for a recount in Pennsylvania, Michigan, who as it so happens just 24 hours ago, certified Trump the winner and Wisconsin. (Note:  Michigan has already recounted its votes for Stein will force them to repeat the recount.)
• the recount must be completed by December 9^th to be certified by December 13^th, six days before the electors meet on December 19^th.
• if Pennsylvania, Michigan and/or Wisconsin misses the deadline, their electoral votes would be nullified.

Considering that Wisconsin’s 2011 statewide election recount of 1.5 million ballots took a month to complete, the possibility exists that with twice as many ballots to be recounted this time around, Wisconsin might miss the deadline.  Stein and Clinton would have been aware of this fact.

If Wisconsin misses the deadline, Trump would lose 10 Electoral College votes down to 296 but according to the Inquisitr:

But two other states, Michigan and Pennsylvania, where Stein plans to demand a recount could cause even more severe turmoil.-

Turmoil meaning that if all three states missed the December 13th deadline as required by federal law, the president-elect would find himself below the 270 electoral votes.

Electors from those states could meet on December 19 regardless, to cast their votes. But in that case, the legitimacy of those votes would likely face legal challenges, before Congress officially counts and finalizes the votes on January 6.

Clinton remains at 232, so if the three states all miss the recount deadline, no candidate would possess the required majority and the election would be thrown to the House of Representatives to decide, with each state delegation receiving one collective vote. The last time that happened was 1824, when the House picked John Quincy Adams over Andrew Jackson, even though Jackson won the popular vote…

NEXT – The Distraction.

You’re letting them distract you. IT ISN’T THE VOTES. The goal is to the nullify the electoral votes by making the states miss the deadline. https://t.co/KACEVja6eD

As reported by American Thinker,

Our good friend Richard Baehr believes this is all about making Mr. Trump illegitimate, especially in the minds of liberals who just can’t believe how the movie ended at 2 A.M. when Pennsylvania spoiled it. After all, some of them  were apparently popping champagne on their way to the Clinton headquarters.

The real problem with recounts is that they don’t change results or explain the sorry state of the Democrat Party….

Crooked Hillary Clinton that the spoils of the 2016 presidential election was hers for the taking as do her supporters, a Democratic Party, Democratic in name only that on Election Day in a matter of a few hours found itself in shambles.  Throw George Soros and the many foreign entities who funded Clinton’s campaign and foundation into the mix and to ignore their malicious intent will be to our own peril.

Raising doubts about legitimacy of election, even w/out overturning result, is part of Clinton’s plans to keep her options open for 2020

What are the odds that Sick Hillary in 2016 is pushing for a 2020 run?  Good luck with that.

Wisconsin filed, Jill Stein Missed Pennsylvania Recount Deadline by One Week

Green Party’s 2016 presidential candidate, Jill Stein, missed the filing date in Pennsylvania to launch a voter recount by one week….INTENTIONALLY.

Stein initiated a fundraising blitz for the past six days to acquire funds needed to file for a recount of votes in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan. Stein raised in four days, $6,369,880.88, nearly double the figure raised during her presidential campaign.

Alleging that it is about election integrity, Stein’s attorney filed suit in Pennsylvania on behalf of 100 petitioners to force the recount. Under Pennsylvania state law, three voters in each precinct must submit a signed affidavit requesting a recount of votes in their precinct.

Philly.com

Lawrence Otter, a lawyer for Stein’s campaign, said individual voters were filing petitions with boards of elections in several counties across the state seeking recounts in their precincts. Voters had already done so in Philadelphia, and Otter said they were expected to do so in Bucks County as well later Monday.

According to the Department of State, there were 9,163 voting precincts in Pennsylvania during the 2016 election. So Stein would need over 27,000 voters to file notarized affidavits, but it’s unclear if that avenue is even still available[…]

Read full article

Election integrity, the integrity of a sworn affidavit filed by Stein and Clinton supporters to force a recount means nothing to those without honor. It appears that Stein who filed for a state-wide recount in Wisconsin this past Friday is intent on creating chaos during President-elect, Donald J. Trump’s transition, even worse steal the White House.  TIMING IS SUSPECT.

As posted on Stein’s Recount2016 website is the following:

Today’s new requests for recounts in precincts across Pennsylvania comes amid an unprecedented outpouring of small donations for the effort from across the country. After opening a fundraising drive on November 23, Stein’s campaign has raised $6.5 million toward a goal of $7 million to cover the recount costs. The funds have come from over 137,000 donors with a $46 average donation. The recount funds are being held in a dedicated account, separate from Stein’s Presidential campaign treasury, and will be used to pay for all costs associated with the recounts, including required payments to states, lawyers, volunteer recruitment and other technical assistance….

137,000 donors? Average donation of $46? Who are they?

Stein’s campaign has issued a call for volunteers to observe the recounts in Wisconsin and Michigan and to submit affidavits requesting recounts in Pennsylvania. To volunteer, interested individuals should contact the campaign at http://jill2016.com

While everyone says that there is no direct proof of election fraud but anyone may submit an affidavit stating otherwise. Something stinks.

The recount effort is non-partisan. Stein’s campaign has reached out to the Trump, Clinton, and Johnson campaigns to discuss the recount effort. The Stein recount effort is not coordinating with any other campaign, but other campaigns have indicated they will observe the process. “We welcome the participation of any campaign that wishes to observe the recounts,” said Dr. Stein.

Stein recount effort is not coordinating with any other campaign — Not true. Talk about wordplay. The Clinton campaign has jumped on the bandwagon. Both are colluding to overturn the president-elect’s victory, i.e., the voter’s choice.

While direct evidence of vote tampering or irregularities can only surface through a recount or an audit, experts say the possibility of hacking voting machines of all kinds provide reason for concern. This year sophisticated hackers targeted the voter registration systems of 20 states and got into at least two, Illinois and Arizona. State elections offices’ databases were targeted. The DNC was hacked, along with the personal email of a senior Clinton campaign official. Several states saw overvotes and discrepancies between pre-election polling and the final result.

And if you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you but first, all me to direct you to Independent Sentinel’s post, Hillary Fights Russian Hacking of Voting Machines Not Hooked Up to the Internet and the fact that the CEO’s of the companies responsible for the electronic voting equipment are all Clinton donors and tied to George Soros. See Independent Sentinel’s posts, Nothing to See Here! Soros Is an America-Hating Socialist With Ties to Voting Machines and Oh Good! Soros Friend Could Rig Elections in 16 States.

THE PLOT THICKENS.

Voter Registration Fraud, Alive and Kicking in Pennsylvania

FieldWorks LLC, Pennsylvania, voter registration fraud

Progressive grassroots organization, FieldWorks LLC and Washington, DC based, is fast becoming the ACORN of the 2016 election season due to allegations of voter-registration fraud and “tampering with public records or information” prompting authorities in Pennsylvania to raid two of its offices this past week.

Today I’m urging the Justice Department to initiate a full investigation of FieldWorks, LLC & its voter registration activities pic.twitter.com/YIvyR0MaS9

— Patrick Meehan (@RepMeehan) November 3, 2016

On Monday seeking evidence of voter-registration fraud, law enforcement with a warrant from the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office raided the FieldWorks office in Delaware County quickly followed up by a second office raid Thursday in North Philadelphia.

Philly.com

… At the Philadelphia office Thursday, in a converted factory along the 3500 block of Scotts Lane, plainclothes investigators and uniformed state troopers executed the warrant.

FieldWorks employees on site declined to talk. A spokesman for the company referred to a statement it released earlier this week in which the firm said it has “zero tolerance for fraud” and vowed to work with authorities “to seek the prosecution of anyone involved in wrongdoing….”

Continue Reading

FieldWorks pays canvassers on an hourly basis while claiming that there are no quotas to be met (yeah, sure).  Like ACORN, suspicions were raised after numerous irregularities were discovered on voter registration applications such as addresses that do not exist…. oh, yes, and Cuyahoga County, Ohio where FieldWorks engaged in the same illegalities.

The Associated Press is reporting that ¾ of last minute voter registrations were tossed due to errors by Philadelphia officials.

In Delaware County, 3,400 voter registration applications were either duplicates, had invalid addresses or some other kind of error thereby invalidating the application.

Then there is the matter of provisional ballots, applications of which FieldWorks claims its dispatched to Pennsylvania Department of State before October 11, 2016 deadline.  However, Delaware County’s offices did not receive the ballots until after the deadline.  Of those ballots, “voters named on another 1,160 valid applications could submit provisional ballots Tuesday, even though their applications arrived at the county after Pennsylvania’s Oct. 11 deadline to register for the election.”

No word yet on dead voters registered to vote.

But as further noted in Philly.com:

…In 2012, Christopher Gallaway, one of the firm’s owners, testified before the board of elections for the Cincinnati area after his group flagged hundreds of possibly fraudulent registration applications.

“As an entity that hires, you know, several thousand temporary hourly employees every year . . . we have come to realize that despite out best efforts to screen people . . . there are going to be . . . employees that we hire who unfortunately try to lie to us, steal from us by getting paid for no work and commit fraud,” he said, according to a hearing transcript….

Dog whistle for keep an eye out for dead voters.

Former FieldWorks employee, Ruthann Alexander, canvassed this summer for FieldWorks only to be terminated a several weeks later for not making her quota, correction “daily goals” of 18 new voters per day.

Philly.com

… Goals were stressed at trainings and meetings, Alexander said.

‘The manager told me and she told the room full of people that she didn’t really care how we got our quota,’ she said. ‘I’m guessing she meant within reason, but she did say to me, especially when she was telling me that I needed to make my numbers, she told me she was under a lot of pressure…’

Clueless SEIU Hooligans Storm Dunkin Donuts to Protest Mitt Romney

Just file this in the category of “you can’t make this s**** up.”

GATEWAY PUNDIT

“Around 200 far left SEIU protesters were bused into the Dunkin Donuts parking lot in Carlisle, Pennsylvania for a protest against Mitt Romney on Friday. The screaming protesters stormed the franchise – terrifying customers and workers – and posted signs about the 99% on the windows.
The union protesters were in town attending a leadership conference.

‘Penn Live reported, via Lonely Conservative:

…The members of Service Employees International Union picked Dunkin’ Donuts because the chain is partially owned by Bain Capital, the private equity firm that Romney used to head….”

CONTINUE READING

Are these morons serious?

SEIU goons/useful idiots are incapable of comprehending that they are actually doing Romney a favor by bringing attention to the fact that Bain Capital is a highly successful enterprise that partially owns Dunkin Donuts (Bain Capital acquired Dunkin Brands in December 2005 – seven full years after Romney left Bain).

DD is as popular as it is successful.  Hence, the successes of both entities are the American dream.

It is the actions of SEIU union thugs not Bain Capital or Mitt Romney that harms poor and middle class working Americans bringing to the forefront that unions and their membership is the true enemy.  How about THAT?

Finally, the owners of this DD enterprise, a privately owned business, should sue the SEIU for any damages and lost revenue incurred due to their protest and bullying.

As reported by GATEWAY PUNDIT, Joe Biden marched in this weekend’s St. Patrick’s Day parade in Pittsburgh, PA during which he distributed “I Heart O’Bama” signs.  Disgusting, in poor taste, disrespectful and a blatant insult to those celebrating St. Patrick’s Day, i.e., the Irish, many of whom are Catholics.

Rest assured, Biden’s campaign promotion was not lost on parade attendees who made their displeasure known.

Throw these thugs in jail and hold their parents accountable as well.

Stop blaming everything on the lack of jobs.  Since the late 60’s, all we have been hearing from the left is, “if they had jobs, they wouldn’t go out and commit crimes.”  Well, even when jobs were plentiful, one had to seek out a job to obtain one.

If jobs were plentiful today, thugs would still choose to victimize and commit criminal acts over working.  Moreover, there are plenty of unemployed young Americans, Black and White and they are not committing criminal acts.

Enough with the lame excuses.  Call these people what they are, THUGS.
