"Clintonโs camp and leading Democrats have been entirely silent on the efforts โ including a potential request for a recount of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin sponsored by Green Party candidate Jill Stein โ further underscoring the unlikelihood of movement on that front. But left-leaning activists were nonetheless temporarily cheered after New York Magazine
reported on Tuesday evening that Clintonโs campaign chairman John Podesta and campaign attorney Marc Elias spoke with a group of election lawyers and computer scientists about the possibility that results may have been altered in those states.
The former secretary of state has garnered 64,223,958 votes, compared to the president-electโs 62,206,395, according to a count curated by Dave Wasserman of the nonpartisan Cook Political Report.
Among the potential steps to challenge the results on Wednesday was an
announcement from Stein, often a strident Clinton critic, that she would seek to challenge the results in all three of the states if she raised the $2 million necessary to do so. Pennsylvania and Wisconsin are traditionally Democrats states that fell into Trumpโs column on Nov. 8, and Michiganโs story is similar, though it has yet to be officially called for Trump. As of Thursday mornng, Stein's campaign had raised at least $2.5 million, according to multiple news reports."
The US Presidntial election may yet not be over. Mind you it would have helped if over 41% of Americans had actually bothered to vote at all, even here in the UK we have higher turnouts for our general Elections.
But as a British citizen I have to say it is up to Americans to decide their government (the question though will be asked whether it was the American people or the government and agencies of another country who decided the 2016 election).
Ironic isn't it, the candidate who so often shouted about the election being 'stolen' could be the benefactor of just such an act.
