2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI just donated to the Jill Stein recount effort.
I am no fan of Jill Stein, but as a candidate she has standing to request a recount. And, if she pays for it, at least some of the states have no recourse.
This is much better than Hillary asking for an audit. She avoids looking like a sore loser, and can be above the fray. It avoids problems within the Dem party between those who want an audit and those who don't.
She has to raise at least $2 million by Friday afternoon, and has raised about $500,000 so far. If you have doubts about the election, please help. If the election was hacked, we may never have another opportunity to audit one.

(8,003 posts)She indicated that she thought Trump and Clinton were equally bad. She can't think she won. I can't figure it out.
