What I like is when they are challenged on it they say 'you have to be super naive to think there is NOT massive voter fraud going on.'

Fuck. Stupid conspiracy theory logic.

That's because there are no such things as facts.

QuoteMichigan attorney general files lawsuit to stop recount

Washington (CNN)Michigan's attorney general announced Friday he would file suit to stop a recount requested by Green Party candidate Dr. Jill Stein.

"Today I am filing suit to stop @DrJillStein's frivolous, expensive recount request," Bill Schuette, a Republican, wrote on Twitter.

The state's top law enforcement official said that he had "filed an emergency motion with the Mich Supreme Court to bypass the Court of Appeals to ensure a timely process."

Schuette's office later put out a statement explaining the motion.

"Michigan voters rejected Stein's candidacy by massive margins but her refusal to accept that state-verified result poses an expensive and risky threat to hard-working taxpayers and abuses the intent of Michigan law," Schuette said. "We have asked the court to end the recount which Stein is pursuing in violation of Michigan laws that protect the integrity of our elections. It is inexcusable for Stein to put Michigan voters at risk of paying millions and potentially losing their voice in the Electoral College in the process."

Stein had filed a request last week for a recount of Michigan's vote in the 2016 election after a razor-thin margin made the state the last to be called. President-elect Donald Trump ended up winning Michigan's 16 electoral votes by just 0.2 percentage points, or just under 10,000 votes out of over 5.5 million cast.

Stein is also fighting efforts to halt the recount in Wisconsin as well, where Trump supporters have also tried to stop the recount in progress there.

"The Jill Stein Campaign plans to intervene and join the Wisconsin Elections Commission in defending the recount," Stein's attorney Matthew D. Brinckerhoff said in an emailed statement. "Citizens in Wisconsin and across the country have made it clear that they want a recount and deserve to see this process through to ensure integrity in the vote."

Stein defended her decision to request a recount in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania -- three traditionally blue swing states that proved critical to Trump's upset victory -- in an interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper.

"What we have are predictors that if tampering took place, it would be most likely to be discovered in the three states where we are looking," she said on "Anderson Cooper 360." "Unless we actually look, we would never know," she said.

"But without having the evidence, aren't you actually contributing, perhaps unfairly, to that lack of confidence in the system itself?" Cooper asked Stein.

"What the voting technology experts tell us is that you cannot tell unless you're actually counting paper votes," she said. "And I don't think the FBI has done that."

That thing makes me want to fucking kill people. How stupid are these people? Especially the woman who thought voting for Donald Trump was the way to get action on wage gap issues. Huh?

On the other hand it is kind of wild you can just send a message to the President Elect of the US at any moment of the day.

Recount ain't gonna flip a race unless the margin is in the hundreds. 10,000 votes is a huge number.

Trump voters will no doubt get what they deserve, but even more people are going to get the same treatment without deserving it.  :(

Just tried watching Saturday Night Live - unwatchable! Totally biased, not funny and the Baldwin impersonation just can't get any worse. Sad

So I had to watch it. Not that funny, I guess it's hard to jest when you're genuinely worried, but at least Baldwin's impersonation continues to be spot on.

True on all fronts.

Also, I'm wondering when they'll get rid of that white guy (who was the other strategist trying to do the briefing). I don't think they've ever had him have a laugh line yet.

He's new and only been in a few so far.

It was a pretty bad skit.  Not sure even David Pumpkins could save it :(

Of course you mention the one thing that could make it worse.  :P
