Vox Popoli: The recounts are irrelevant

  Another case of “follow the money”? Now the Green Party has a list of all the gullible Leftists who might be willing to donate money to them in the future. The longer they can drag this out presumably the more money they will be able to raise. Absent election campaigns the Greens always need money to fund their day to day operating costs and lobbying efforts. Of course Stein is no doubt also in sympathy  with fellow Lefties Hillary, Soros and the DNC on many issues, and, as such, believes that de-legitimizing and casting doubt on the Trump Presidency will be a good thing overall in support of the various Leftist transformational agendas.
 
==========================================================
 
There is nothing in it. There never was.
Jill Stein has everything she needs to launch a presidential recount. She's got the cash, the grassroots fervor and the spotlight of an adoring media. But there's one thing she needs to overturn Trump's victory: a calendar.

Stein missed Pennsylvania's deadline to file for a voter-initiated recount. That blown deadline is a huge blow for Democrats who have pinned their hopes on recounts in the Keystone State, Michigan and Wisconsin.

"According to Wanda Murren, spokeswoman for the Pennsylvania Department of State," the Philadelphia Inquirer reported Monday, "the deadline for a voter-initiated recount was Monday, Nov. 21."
All of the dark conspiracy theories about overturning the election were nonsensical. Jill Stein's call for a recount was driven by one thing: money. She raised far more money than was required for the Wisconsin recount, publicly stated that all the money raised would not be used for the recount, and publicly posted an incorrect date on the Pennsylvania deadline.

Cobb said they only factored in Wisconsin when they first publicized their $2.5 million goal on their website. Once the campaign realized the cost of a recount for other states, they upped the goal, he said.

The money will be used to pay off the Green Party's campaign debt, which is to say, into the bank accounts of the staffers. It would be informative to know if they knew the November 28th filing date was inaccurate when they posted it.

And then, there is this:
Just two days after confirming that he would participate in Jill Stein's recounts in WI, MI and PA, Hillary campaign attorney, Marc Elias, is now publicly calling on North Carolina Republican Gubernatorial candidate, Pat McCrory, to halt his recount efforts and concede his race.
Once you open Pandora's Box, don't think you can control the demons that are released.
