In Response to Stein Recount, Trump Reps Now Claim No Evidence of Voter Fraud

Throughout the latter stage of his campaign, Donald Trump kept saying that the system was rigged, calling into question the fairness of the election process. At the time, it seemed like a prepared excuse in case he lost. Even after winning, when it became apparent that Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by a significant margin, Trump maintained that there was rampant voter fraud, which was why his opponent finished ahead of him in overall votes.
Now that people are questioning his success, Trump and his attorneys are changing their tune. In response to recounts in Michigan and Pennsylvania that were pushed forward by Green Party candidate Jill Stein, the representatives for the President-elect said in a court filings that there was no fraud at all.
In the Michigan filing, obtained by The Washington Post, Trumps lawyers said, All available evidence suggests that the 2016 general election was not tainted by fraud or mistake. They even turn to the White House and the Clinton camp to back them up! Even the chief counsel to second-place finisher Hillary Clinton concedes there is no evidence of any tampering that would warrant a recount or lawsuit, the filing says, citing a post in The Medium by Clinton counsel Marc Elias.
The Pennsylvania filing says that there is no evidence of any tampering in that state. Trumps lawyers argue Steins petition for a recount, has not identified a single Pennsylvania machine in any county, district, precinct, or ward that they actually believe was hacked, but merely states a possibility of tampering.

(24,726 posts)Even if Dr. Jill Stein proves that there was malfeasance in the voting, your f****ing lawyers you know the corrupt ones that work for you on everything bibley, if the recount shows that Clinton won, then the House of Representatives are then asked to make a decision, because the electoral college is and would become moot, does your half wit lawyers fully understand this process.
Dr. Jill Stein is trying to prove that your votes in the above three states are tainted , you know like in wisCONsin, had over 5,000 voted padded to your count to people that never voted even before she filed her lawsuit, do you see a problem, and in Michigan you supposedly won by just .22 percent, and now your Shutte for brains AG in the state thinks that when people, citizens that ask for a recount don't have a say, he failed that part of the law class, and in PA, Stein was basically being blackmailed by the money requirements, so she said to hell with that I want and will go county to county if memory serves me correctly.
Hey herr dumspeter do you understand the process now, and just think your fascist ideologues don't understand the democratic process, just fascism, it just front and center, right out there for everyone to see

over the weekend, "As soon as he started screaming 'rigged election!' I
knew he was fixing it for himself and he was going to 'win'."
