In presidential elections, there are winners and losers, but for liberals and democrats there is a whole new category called “Poopie Pants Political Whiners.” Green Party candidate Jill Stein and Hillary Clinton’s campaign fit perfectly in that category with their inane act to hand recount Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania presidential election ballots. Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette is suing to block the Election Day sore losers.
On Friday, Schuette asked the Michigan Supreme Court to block the unnecessary state’s presidential election ballots requested by Stein because it would be too costly and time-consuming to justify it. This is especially a very crucial legal point since both Stein as well as Hillary Clinton’s campaign are not alleging or even showing election fraud occurred.
In a written statement, the Michigan attorney General stressed, “This court cannot allow a dilatory and frivolous request for a recount by an aggrieved party to silence all Michigan votes for president,” reported the Detroit News.
The Green Party candidate has a snow ball’s chance in hell to even win the election and the same may be said for her Michigan voter recount partner Hillary Clinton. Stein netted a microscopic number of 51,463 votes in Michigan out of the 4.8 million cast.
Clinton who also lost, only visited the state in the closing hours of the race when internal poll numbers saw her lead over Trump had evaporated. President-Elect Trump won the former blue state by beating Clinton with a 10,704-voter margin.
The state’s highest court will most likely take a legal pass in allowing the recount effort by Stein and Clinton to go any further. Michigan was the last of the states to officially certify The Election Day results.
Even though all of Michigan’s 1,521 cities and townships had completed ballot counting and reported unofficial results by the morning of Wednesday, Nov. 9, Ruth Johnson, Michigan’s Secretary of State, stated, “The county canvassing boards, as they do after every election, began their work to review and certify the results from each precinct,” according to the Detroit News.
With Obama’s former Secretary of State blowing the election with a 10,704-voter margin, one could easily surmise that if Stein had stayed on the sidelines and sat this election out perhaps Clinton’s blue wall would have given her a Wolverine state victory. One will never know. What is absolutely certain is that with Trump beating Clinton 2,279,543 to her 2,268,839, Stein, not Clinton may be the victor in the contest to prove who can be the most annoying election year gnat.
While she leads the recount effort which could cost Michigan voters millions of taxpayer dollars the Green Party rakes in millions of dollars for its nearly invisible national political party war chest. Quite a financial windfall for coming in dead last in the presidential election sweepstakes.
It has been sixty-six years since there has been a recounting of a statewide candidate election in Michigan, and voters who want to point out a Christmas season political Grinch just place a check mark by Dr. Jill Stein. She will be the one that raised millions in free media attention will going all the way to the bank on tax payer’s dime.
