Asking for an ELECTION AUDIT would enhance public confidence in the election

WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A RECOUNT. WE ARE ASKING FOR AN AUDIT SAMPLING.

The deadlines for the Clinton campaign to contest the results loom large. Friday and Monday for the three states in question.

I'm not sure what the logjam is on this topic. Run mock election balloting on sample machines and find out if there are discrepancies. Are the statisticians and those finding anomalies correct or not? How difficult can it be?

HILLARY, WE NEED YOU TO STEP UP ONE MORE TIME. CONTEST THE ELECTION RESULTS. WE, THE MAJORITY, STAND BEHIND YOU.

F**k all y'all mode ( and if so I don't blame her) - but this should be done. Else endless questions for a generation.

Even when we win it should be automatic, not up to the candidates. We have a crappy election system generally, and not auditing results is one way we turn every crappy election into a sacred "will of the people". d Ensuring we will continue to have a crappy election system.
