    "Jill Stein is on track to raise twice as much for an election recount effort than she did for her own failed Green Party presidential bid."

    I think that Jill Stein is just having the recount to be able to raise money so that she can donate it to her own campaign if she decides to run in the next election.
  • katelyndewaele on 30 Nov 16
     
    I feel like Jill Stein is just using this for farther popularity and to help with her campaign if she ever decided to run for president.
  • lauren rambo on 30 Nov 16
     
    She has a right to do this since this country thrives on our freedom. I don't think she should be suing states just because she wants a recount though. If a state doesn't want to vote again isn't that also in our rights? I don't know what all of Jill Steins motives are and though I disagree with her, she still has the right to ask for a recount however the turnout will be.
  • Faith Otten on 30 Nov 16
     
    Whatever her reasons for fighting for a recount are, she is gaining attention. Whether the recount comes out how she wants it to or not, Stein will have benefited. That being said it's understandable why she feels the need to raise money for it.
  • chloesapienza on 30 Nov 16
     
    Donald Trump denounced the Stein recount effort as "ridiculous" and "a scam." and I disagree with what he said. It is not a scam because she is using the donations for how much the recount will cost.
  • ashley926 on 30 Nov 16
     
    I agree with Landon, I also think though she will give it to other charity,but use it as popularity.
  • cspurgin on 30 Nov 16
     
    I believe that Jill Stein has the right to demand a recount and has good intentions for such sudject, but I also belive that when it all follows through, that it will not change anything for the future.
  • gracie1bradley on 30 Nov 16
     
    "By continuing to raise money, she is building up a larger donor list that she can later turn to if she runs again." I think that even though she didn't win, it's a good opportunity to help her in other ways. I also think its a good idea because she'll then have a backup if she runs again.
  • russellboi on 30 Nov 16
     
    The article said that she would donate all excess donations to election reform systems, weather or not this turns out to be true remains to be seen. Regardless the changes would be considered extremely important by many of today's voters who think that the electoral college ruins democracy and therefore don't vote. If the election recount doesn't result in evidence of fraud or tampering, then the excess money should be put to good use regardless.
  • jacega on 30 Nov 16
     
    I think that jill Stein is gonna earn all this money for the next upcoming election . She is going to donate the money to her election fund.
  • nate kliegl on 30 Nov 16
     
    I agree with Landon as well because I feel like she just wants the attention and to gain the money
  • haleyborgaila on 30 Nov 16
     
    I agree with Lauren because she shouldn't be suing states because they don't want to do a recount, it's our choice if we do our not. We picked who we wanted and that's who we got she's just using this for publicity and to help her if she runs again.
  • delaniehubbard on 30 Nov 16
     
    Jill Stein has the right to a recount whether shes in it for the money or not, shes someone who can afford and has the power to do so opposed to some citizens who want to have a recount but obviously don't have that kind of money or power. If she does prove the voting ballets wrong after to recount, she will not only have gotten Hillary president, but she is going to increase her popularity for her own benefit in the future. Even if she doesn't achieve her goal she will have gained attention in some sort of way.
  • dallastomasello on 30 Nov 16
     
    I agree with Landon. I also think she is having this recount to get attention.
  • kplowman702 on 30 Nov 16
     
    I agree with Landon and Lauren, she's gaining attention for herself and it's not right for her to try and sue states because they don't want to recount.
  • Austin Webster on 30 Nov 16
     
    Jill Stein is just doing it for more publicity so when or if she runs again in 2020 it will make her look better and be the more popular vote
  • jwelch096 on 30 Nov 16
     
    I agree with Faith, because if she wants to run again, she is already sorta popular, and will have more attention drawn to her than she does now, ans she may be a candidate with the media partially on her side.
  • mitchell_johnson on 30 Nov 16
     
    I think Jill Stein is just using this to raise money for herself and her party and once they get enough, they'll drop the whole thing and use the money for other reasons. Her reasons for a recount are idiotic and it will prove that Donald Trump won the election fair and square.
  • jakecolburn on 30 Nov 16
     
    This is pretty cool. Even if the end result does not chance the ability to call for a recount is cool to me, it allows for total certainty in the voting process and gives Jill stein a potential platform for the next election. Assuming she runs as a third party all the publicity she can gain to validate a 3rd party is a positive.
  • amiahdoty on 30 Nov 16
     
    I think Jill Stein is just doing this to get people to notice her.
  • kim bagshaw on 30 Nov 16
     
    I understand why she is doing it however it is a choice and could what she is doing reflect her reaction to who won? her intentions may be more to change who won rather than seeing if the votes are justified
  • kelsi836 on 30 Nov 16
     
    Jill Stein has the right to call for a recount if she wants to. People amuse too quickly that she is only in it for her self. And yes, while doing so will give her some sort of an advantage in one way or another, she is doing this to show once and for all who won the election. If this happens, it could change who are president will be.

    This is not even worth it, because Trump won fair. Jill is just like Hillary. Sure she has the right to do so, but its not going to do anything Trump won deal with it america!.
  • mwheeler21 on 30 Nov 16
     
    I don't know anything about this election, but I think that if she wants to keep doing this more power to her, I don't think that it will change anything. I partly think she is doing this for attention and to get herself known so that she may be able to move up in her career eventually, but I think she knows that the recount won't matter.
  • ebouvier878 on 30 Nov 16
     
    I think it is pointless to even try and it won't change the outcome.
  • Alex Thacker on 30 Nov 16
     
    She has the right to do this but I think the election is over and it wouldn't change anything
  • amonge914 on 30 Nov 16
     
    I agree that Jill has the right to call for a recount. I really hope that in doing that she is using her power for good, and standing up for what she believes in rather than to get attention. If she's fighting for what she believes in, then you go girl!
  • tbrockman469 on 30 Nov 16
     
    I think that she is raising money for her own benefit, because even if she gets enough for a recount it wont change anything.
  • nick perry on 30 Nov 16
     
    I agree with Alex, It will make her look good but in the end nothing is going to change and Trump is still going to remain President of the United States.
  • agrosas on 30 Nov 16
     
    I think that she is wrong for doing this, no one ever did this when Obama became President and there were people that did not what him in President. So why is it so bad Trump is going to be President, there are people that ant him as the President.

    I think any president makes promises they can't keep, but that's part of getting elected. At least other presidents have made realistic promises, but I think Trump's promises during his campaign were just fabricated lies to get people to vote for him. How dull can voters be if they think this man would actually build a giant wall between America and Mexico and make them pay for it?

    Americans may feel that the nation is run by a bunch of clowns in Washington, but millions of citizens in Brazil went to the polls Sunday to elect an actual clown to congress. Francisco Everardo Oliveira Silva - known by the clown name Tiririca, which means "grumpy" - received more than 1.3 million votes, more than double that of the next closest candidate, Reuters reported Monday. Tiririca ran for a congressional seat in Sao Paulo state, the nation's most populous, using the campaign slogan "It can't get any worse." He offered no promises other than reporting back to constituents how their representatives spent their time. "What does a congressman do? The truth is I don't know, but vote for me and I'll tell you," he said in campaign advertisements. Public prosecutors had tried to prevent the clown from running because of "evidence that he is illiterate," Reuters said. Tiririca appeared at public events wearing a blond wig and silly outfit.

    Five men who describe themselves in a complaint as "human rights activists of Mexican origin" filed a lawsuit Wednesday against the Republican presidential candidate, his campaign, his company and Keith Schiller, Trump's chief of security. The plaintiffs allege that Trump security officials, namely Schiller, assaulted them as they protested outside of a campaign event.

    I feel like the activists were well within their rights and forcing the protectors to move the banner as well as striking one of them is very illegal and wrong. I agree with them that Trump would make this country racist, and he should be protested against as much as humanly possible.

    The article discusses how states are trying to implement restrictive voting laws. I understand that after the 2020 election, there is a lot of suspicion surrounding voting fund. However, I think we should ensure that these new voting laws aren't another way to discourage people from voting. The article claims that voting fraud is "exceedingly rare," so it's clear that some legislators want to stop certain groups of people from voting to fit their needs, which is very wrong.
  • jdogan on 17 May 21
     
    voting restriction is the largest enemy of democracy and the fabricated campaign of voter fraud being an issue is terrible to go and say that with less than 2000 confirmed fraud cases in the last 40+ years there is a problem and that who can vote needs to be restricted is absurd this is no different than post civil war voting laws like a literacy test and the grandfather clause and the arguments supporting them are no different either

    I think that a lot of people are happy t0 see this happen based on what he says about coronavirus. Personally, I do not think that it will make a difference in what he says about coronavirus. The reason that I believe this is because Trump is most likely going to survive coronavirus because he is getting the best medical care around. I think after that he will still talk about how it is still a hoax becuase he survived it.
  • emilysharp on 05 Oct 20
     
    I think that Trump didn't believe in COVID-19 until it actually happened to him and I hope that he will be more empathetic toward Americans going through this too. It did say he was symptomatic and that he is at high risk so there's a possibility that he might not make it.

    I think now that Trump has COVID-19 his political campaign will be impacted. He will need to be in quarantine for at least 2 weeks and with so few days left until the election, his campaign will be at least a little bit impacted. Even though he has COVID-19 I don't think his outlook on it will change at all.

    That is so wrong. I know that when you test positive for corona most doctors say to isolate yourself for a total of two weeks at the most. This is along with antibiotics and more. So them to say he is not contagious after a week when he could have spread it to many throughout the white house is wrong. There should be more caution and such to this situation.

    There are so many things that are wrong with Trump going back to work so early. Trump should be quarantined longer including due to how bad the covid affected him. Not only that but being around people isn't safe either, as our president his main goal should be to keep people safe. He's down sizing Covid 19 again.
