Clinton campaign: "WE'RE TAKING PART IN THE RECOUNT!"

[MoonRiver]

Washington (CNN)Hillary Clinton's campaign said Saturday it will take part in efforts to push for recounts in several key states, joining with Green Party candidate Jill Stein, who has raised millions of dollars to have votes counted again in Wisconsin.

But, in a post on Medium, Marc Elias, the campaign's counsel, said the campaign's own investigation has not uncovered any evidence of hacking of voting systems.
In the campaign's most detailed comments to date on the recount, Elias wrote that while the campaign was not going to contest the results itself, it has decided now to take part in the effort to "ensure that it is fair to all sides."

1. I'm delighted to hear the campaign hasn't gone into a deep coma.

[MoonRiver]

2. They have to know there's a lot of nefarious out there to do this. Just saying.

[anamandujano]

4. Agree.

8. Wait wut? Don't they know Jill Stein is running a scam? Bait and switch?

That she can't be trusted and oh yeah fuck Jill Stein and the Greens?

15. I get what you meant....you rascal

17. Jill Stein was probably approached by Democratic operatives to be the front woman for this.

She doesn't want to be the Green Party's next Nader. She can triangulate this situation into a cash cow for herself if she plays it right.

20. That was my thinking as well. HRC couldn't come out directly for, so campaign has a deal with JS n/t

[LisaL]

21. If she were approached by democratic operatives, she would have known deadlines to file for recounts

in other states.

23. It might have been a late-breaking call, and it might not have been

"inner circle" types either.

24. So says Drumpf

Who's the expert on money making scams.

9. Seems likely that this is not a "getting behind" statement, more like "we will attend".

Of course they're participating. Stein's taking the point allows the Clinton campaign to take a position that could even be called civic duty, rather than partisan participation.

[MoonRiver]

10. Just stating what they said.

[bigmonkey]

11. Thanks for posting it n/t

[MoonRiver]

12. You are welcome!

[world wide wally]

13. They are too smart to jump in without a good reason

[MoonRiver]

14. Yep

[nini]

16. I agree

I would imagine lots has been going on behind the scenes to determine if there was a clear enough path here.

[TheFrenchRazor]

18. good. nt

[Hekate]
