I never expected different honestly. I supported the recount as a way to get closure
I wish this wasn't happening right as the Russia stuff is breaking through, the timing starts to make it look like a desperate pattern of "oh shit can we stop Trump?" instead of a lot of shit happening all at once

Not suprised. Probably the same for the other states.

Well duh, this was expected. Makes you wonder why the Trump team's bothered objecting in the first place.

Atleast now we know the integrity of the election was upheld or whatever that bs was

I guess we wouldn't have really known how much of a waste of money this was until we wasted the money, huh?
BTW, I'm from Wisconsin, and Hillary lost here because she fucking did nothing here.
Obama came at least twice in 2012, once bringing Bruce Springsteen. What did Hill-dog give us?

Now at least Jill has an updated donor list. You all knew that's what this was really about, right?

Welp. All that money spent just so that Trump came out with a wider (albeit small) margin. Marvelous.

Of course, anybody who thought otherwise is kidding themselves. America, you guys just need to deal with the fact that 50% of your voting population are deplorables who voted in a guy spewing similar rhetoric as Hitler did in WW2 when he was running to be president of Germany. Get angry that your progressive politicians threw away a once in a lifetime chance to finally get what they had been working for for decades. Once you get passed that, you can move onto the next step which is figuring out how to solve and prevent this from happening in the future.
In the meantime, get politically active. Be part of the movement that rebuilds the Democratic Party's ground game. Get people in at the Municipal and State Levels. For the love of god, remember to vote in your midterms. Democrats have been coasting for way too long on their ground game while the Republican Party stubbornly never stopped taking advantage of the fact that their supporters fall in line to get people into power to block the Democrats, to blame them for nothing getting done to get people over to their side through lies and deceit so that they could win.

Except widespread disenfranchisement happens clearly and has a significant impact on elections. But that isn't going to be seen in a recount, or seen as rigging because it's "legal." Thanks for gutting the VRA, SCOTUS!

Jill Stein just conned a lot of hopeful and grieving Democrats. Well done.

I whinny my fervor lowly, for his length is not as great as those of the Hylian war stallions
Fuck, can we go a single thread without this bullshit?
not to mention having hope in the recount was easier for the dems than voting
Sums her up perfectly especially as a campaigner. Don't have to take my words for it either, whether it's Powell saying she ruins everything she touches, or Obama calling her out with his Iowa statement. There's no worthwhile excuse for her skipping an enitre state in Wisconsin or getting dominated by Trump on both rallies and the media, instead she catered to the top .1%. That's just stupid/lazy.
Hell no. Hillary and her camp were epic failures that set the country back because they took campaigning 101 for granted.

sure, they should've campaigned in those states.

No need to do it directly when you can indirectly influence voters and reject votes with shady voter suppression laws and systems like Crosscheck.
It's an election thread about Wisconsin, if you don't wanna hear this information you prob shouldn't click on the thread
Sticking your head in the sand because you don't like what you are hearing accomplishes nothing and is actually part of the problem

The recount didn't net Hillary 20,000+ votes? Who could have ever predicted this?

Sucks that the result didn't change, but I'm glad they at least went through the process.

So in this pointless crusade, Jill Stein proved Trumps bombastic tweet about how the vote was rigged in favor of Hillary...correct.

I think it's important to have affirmed the vote conclusively to eliminate any doubt. That's worth it on it's own.

I don't trust their recount. If they rigged the initial vote counting why wouldn't do the same for the recount?
Did they have independent federal officials doing the recount?

Anxiously awaiting Jill Stein to raise money to re-count the re-count
edit:
Boom! Jill Stein needs to bring this up if she wants to raise money for a re-recount
Thanks a lot Wisconsin...
Wisconsin's been a shit hole since we elected Scott Walker and voted out Russ Feingold for Ron Johnson - and then kept both of those guys in office when we had chances to boot them out.
clearly we need another recount, someone needs to contact Jill ASAP

Uh, who wants to be the one to break the bad news to Suikoguy?
Stein actually outsourced most of the recounts to a Russian mathematician group.
