For one, why would Stein want a recount? She got less than 1% of the overall vote. For another, why does she need to fundraise over $6 million? Why did Clinton concede, but then decide to join in on this after saying over and over throughout the election that Donald Trump fans need to accept the results? I guess it's easy to say such things when you thing you're gonna win; I mean who lives up to what they say these days, am I right? Biggest problem of all though, is that these recounts mean nothing for Clinton; they won't be able to perform it and finish it before the December 13th deadline, i.e. these states will not be allowed to cast their electoral votes. It's an attempt by the left right now to further illegitimate the Trump presidency, by saying he didn't even win the electoral vote. Doesn't sound too serious, but you already know the left will abuse this come 2020. |
She needed to raise funds because the recount needs to be paid for by the candidate who asks for the recount. She is well within her rights to ask for a recount. She is a candidate after all. Plus that the concession speech means nothing. Its merely a formality. The real thing happens when the electorate does the voting in december.
Even though trump won the electoral, there are some who are suing to vote against it and be rogue electoral votes. So Its possible that even without the recount there would be some who don't vote for him.
