This is a quick interesting point as to WHY Jill Stein (a SHINING example of a Red Commie wrapped in the Green fig leaf) is demanding recounts in WI, MI, or PA – I would not have thought of this angle and its long term consequences (reformatted, emphasis mine).
RULE 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules. (This is a serious rule. The besieged entity’s very credibility and reputation is at stake, because if activists catch it lying or not living up to its commitments, they can continue to chip away at the damage.)
And what is “the rule book” in this case? That’s the easy part – the real question is WHY?
The Democrats’ real strategy in launching recounts
…The recounts, if done by hand, which can be demanded, may take longer than the last day for completing the official counts in a state and directing Electoral College voters. If all 3 states miss the deadline, Trump is at 260, Hillary at 232. No one hits 270.
Then this goes to Congress, where the House voting 1 vote per state elects Trump, and Senate selects Pence. This would be first time this happened since 1824, but in that case, John Quincy Adams won in the House, though he had fewer electoral college votes than Andrew Jackson.
If this goes to the US House and Senate, and the result is the same as result from the Electoral College without the recounts, why do it? The answer is to make Trump seem even more illegitimate, that he did not win the popular vote (he lost by over 2.1 million), he did not win the Electoral College (did not reach 270), and was elected by being inserted into the presidency by members of his own party in Congress.
Not only will it serve to further delegitimize Trump (and by proxy, the Republicans, even as the Democrats have turned themselves into a small rump political party after this election), it will also further their calls to turn our representative Republic into a mob democracy – the very thing that our Founders feared the most. We’ve been hearing that the Electoral College is a manifestation of old rich white slavers, a dust relic of a long ago time, a political anachronism that the Internet makes useless; what this latest Progressive march on our non-Socialist state is to remove one more of the needed check and balances we depend upon.
They know that once we reach their ultimate of full Democracy (instead of a Republic), we will be fundamentally transformed. And they will rejoice. After all, Cuba is a how-to recipe book and not an evil danger to Liberty.
