Furious Democrats Blast Stein's Recount Effort As Nothing But A "Scam"

Now that the Jill Stein fiasco has ended in a miserable failure Democrats feel safe to be indignant and loudly complain about the whole thing.

Doublethink Article:

With the passing of each new day, it's growing more and more difficult to find anyone that is actually supportive of Jill Stein's recount efforts (aka fundraising scam). The Obama administration has already weighed in saying that the election results "accurately reflected the will of the American people" while Clinton's campaign attorney even confirmed they had not "uncovered any actionable evidence of hacking or outside attempts to alter the voting technology."

Now, even prominent democratic strategists are turning on Stein as Joe Trippi described her efforts as a "waste of time and money." Worse, in an accusation that may have more substantial consequences, some Democrats have gone so far as to echo Trump’s charge that re-tallying votes from the presidential race is just a “scam” being advanced by Stein, who has raised more than $6 million to fund potential recounts in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, three states critical to the Republican nominee’s win.

Doublethink example:

Moreover, democrat strategist Robert Shrum confirmed that the "Clinton people would have preferred this not to happen" while adding that there is "no chance" that the recounts will change the election's outcome.

Aides to former Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton have sought a middle ground on Stein’s push. The remaining Clinton campaign team will “participate” in the effort but is not actively supporting it.

Hmm, how does one "participate" in something but not "actively support it".

e.g. If I see a bank robbery happening and I run in and participate with the robbers would I tell the judge "I participated with the bank robbers but I didn't support the bank robbery"?

LOL They weren't complaining when she sued. Only now that she has lost.


Covering their embarrassment, I'd say.

Given election laws, it was about the only thing Hillary's folks could do. Election laws in most states require that one be a party, in some way, to take advantage of whatever might turn up. In my state, for example, a challenger puts up the money for a recount and can stop the counting if he or she picks up enough votes to win, no matter if the count is finished or not. The other candidate then has to put up the money to continue the count to its conclusion in hopes of countering the results so far.

Stein is a hopeless case, representative of the same self-righteous liberalism that preferred to back Nader in 2000 even though it contributed to Gore's defeat. Better to be pure than to win an election.
