No, it won't go anywhere or change the outcome, but it will reaffirm that our election system is not full of voter fraud and it's the right of those like Jill who were in the race. I have no doubt that if Donald had won the electoral college but not the popular vote he would have demanded a recount in every state he lost. The rule is in place for a reason so Mr. president-in-waiting should let it play out and quit belly-aching about it.
rare I agree with you on anything but this time I do. My only problem is the cost, knowing very well the chances of any changes are totally out of the question. This is not like Fl in 2000. I just hate to see millions of $$s wasted. I will add, maybe this will help others from trying the same thing next time around just because they are not happy with the outcome. I real feel Jill is in this for her own agenda, nothing more. She is hurting herself more than helping.
How will a recount show if illegals voted?? Ballots don't have names on them. They are re-counting votes, not scanning the registers looking for mistakes.
It won't show how many illegals voted. That's the beauty of having million of illegals in this country if you're a democrat. Just ask all the liberals in power in CA.

For me and many of my coworkers and friends, this is the time of the year we slow down. We do not embark on new projects, we push off conference calls, take our use-it-or-lose-it vacation time and spend a little extra time enjoying our families.
What concerns me the most is the total lack of consideration for the hundreds of election officials that are going have to work nights and weekends during their holiday season soley because Jill Stein wants a recount for the apparent basis of fundraising.
For the outsider candidate that supposedly cares so much about the people, this is one hell of an "establishment" thing to do.
Seems to me (I could very well be wrong) that in the past such recounts did the exact opposite of what the ones demanding the recount wanted.
I have read (probably from an unreliable source) that one county that has been recounted turned up over 400 additional votes for Trump!
I rather doubt that is what Stein (or hillary) wanted to hear!
