If the counts come back the same, then she will have wasted millions on a political gamble.

If the recount actually shows that Hillary got more votes in the targeted states, then she has that right.
It would suck big time, we would and could protest her presidency and what it means.
But that is our system.

I don't think it'll change either. But what this does show is that Stein can be and was bought by the Hillary campaign.
I think our system, with all it's warts, does work.

I really do wonder about Jill Stein.
She was no lover of Hillary during the campaign. If I recall correctly she even said she favoured Trump over Clinton, so I wonder what has motivated this line of action?
Did someone get to her?
Maybe she believed the lies of "Russian hacking"?
Maybe even a quick grab the cash and run operation?
Perhaps she even thinks that someone rigged it in favour of Hillary? But then what would be the point of a recount?
It is all very strange.
It'll either prove our system works, or it'll prove that it doesn't.

The repercussions of throwing the presidency to Clinton are almost to fearful to contemplate. Even if the recount goes to Clinton the outcome may well be a hot civil war and the liberals will lose.

There are flaws in any voting system , either inherent or by design , remember the hanging chad ?
If there's doubt and the margin of victory is small then a recount is justified although I doubt the recount will change the result.
Perhaps they will discover that a foreign power did hack some of the voting machines.
