1-26-2017 note from Jill Stein with PA, WI, MI Recount updates

The Progressive Wing Posted on by

1-26-2017 note from Jill Stein with PA, WI, MI Recount updates: When we decided to initiate a recount, together with over 10,000 volunteers and 161,000 donors, we knew it wouldn’t be easy.But we had little idea how hard the political establishment would fight against transparent, accountable elections. In Michigan, Trump’s GOP cronies stopped the recount despite – or maybe because of – revelations about major problems with the vote count, particularly in under-resourced black and brown communities.
