    A voting scandal of epic proportion tilted this election. The scam involved millions of people. No, I'm not talking about the recount the Clinton campaign joined in Wisconsin and may seek in Michigan and Pennsylvania. Hillary Clinton and her aides were correct before, when they said voting fraud is rare.

    This article was really interesting in the authors view point. The author's title is the first interesting point in this because when it says "The election really was rigged", people automatically assume it has something to do with Hillary or Trump, but the author gets down to the real point of the matter, which is the cause of the states new rules and such.

    Donald Trump's presidential victory may have caused some employers to hit the pause button, but not many. In the first jobs report since Trump was elected president, employers added slightly fewer positions than expected in November. Nonetheless, the unemployment rate dropped unexpectedly to 4.6%.

    WASHINGTON - Donald Trump's very public search for a secretary of State will go on a bit longer. While announcing Wednesday that the president-elect has narrowed his search to four candidates, Trump aides also said they do not expect any more announcements on any Cabinet slots the rest of this week.

    The director of the CIA has warned US President-elect Donald Trump that ending the Iran nuclear deal would be "disastrous" and "the height of folly". In a BBC interview, John Brennan also advised the new president to be wary of Russia's promises, blaming Moscow for much of the suffering in Syria.

    Unemployment dropped by 0.3 percentage points, to 4.6 percent, last month - the lowest rate since 2007 - according to the monthly jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The report says the U.S. added 178,000 new jobs in November. That's about what economists had expected.

    This is definitely beneficial to the economy that there are more people in the country working, though the decrease in wages seems bad, the overall benefit is much greater. And plus its still greater than it was last year so it's all good

    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.

    "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

  • 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.

    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 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.

    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.

    Since late summer, protesters have stood beside members of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North Dakota who believe the $3.7 billion pipeline project, which would move 470,000 barrels of crude oil a day across four states, would affect its drinking water supply and place downstream communities at risk of contamination from potential oil spills.
  • dbratcher097 on 30 Nov 16
     
    I think this is ridiculous. The pipeline is off of their grounds, and is on property purchased by Energy Transfer Partners. This is out of their control and they deserve to be arrested for trespassing (which they are) and the government should be able to use force to remove them from the site (Which they are also doing).
