She has done this more than once.

(7,004 posts)She has had to file for a court order to have the ballots counted by hand. Hillary has done likewise. They also keep raising filing fees.
She will not be allowed to keep anything.

(118 posts)The Green Party was asked by a coalition of academic election activists to request a recount. They saw statistical anomalies in the 2016 data that suggested fraudulent results.
They approached the Clinton campaign to request the recount in three questionable states, but Clinton campaign could not do it.
Then they approached the Greens who agreed to make the recount request. They were given an estimate by the academic activists of what a recount might likely cost, and they based their fundraising estimates on this. As the states make their demands known, the cost of the recounts rises. As reported earlier today by the Guardian, ( see my earlier post today) the recount is an effort by long time activists who see this as a chance to expose the fraudulent schemes embedded in the voting and counting systems. The greens agreed to work with the academics. We should all support this worthy effort. It's a chance to finally reveal the malfeasance.
Oberliner, please try to be helpful here and stop suggesting this us some suspicious plot by Jill stein. I have corresponded with many of these computer science professors over the years, and they are dedicated scientists of the highest caliber. Please let's help them do this incredibly important work!
Thank you for understanding! Peace, hannah
