Stein, who notched a whopping 1.1 percent showing in the Badger
State, has been pushing a petition calling for a recount in the state —
despite the fact the margin of Trump’s victory was higher than the
threshold set for a mandatory recount by state law.
“The people have spoken and the election is over,
and as Hillary Clinton herself said on election night, in addition to
her conceding by congratulating me, ‘We must accept this result and then
look to the future.'”
Although Clinton and her campaign had steered clear of election
recount talk in the weeks since Trump’s stunning upset win, the
media-fueled Stein effort proved too politically attractive for the
Democrats’ team to avoid.
“Because we had not uncovered any actionable evidence of hacking or
outside attempts to alter the voting technology, we had not planned to
exercise this option ourselves,” Clinton campaign lawyer Marc Elias
wrote in a Medium Post, adding, “but now that a recount has been
initiated in Wisconsin, we intend to participate in order to ensure the
process proceeds in a manner that is fair to all sides.”
