Recount started by Academic Election Activists [View all]

DU - please support the recount efforts and stop attacking Jill Stein. As the attached article from Guardian reports, the Academic Election Activist Community spurred this call for a recount based on statistical anomalies they detected. They approached the Clinton campaign but were rebuffed. So they went to the Greens, and they agreed to pursue the recount. This is NOT some Jill Stein fundraising trick! The academic election community has been toiling for years to document how this vote switching" is accomplished. The recounts are a chance to finally bring this "disease" buried in our election systems out in the open!
Please support these efforts by volunteering and donating when asked! Peace, Hannah

But the third chart is labeled as "popular vote margins" not electoral college margins, and spooky3 Nov 2016 #19
The third chart is what it's labeled, and reflects Trump lost the popular vote Coyotl Nov 2016 #22
