Irony: If Jill Stein had not run Hillary could have been the President-elect
ZeroHedge reports:
In a letter penned by Green Party Senate Candidate Margaret Flowers, and signed by dozens of prominent GPUS members, the Greens have rebelled against the farcical “recount effort” conducted by Jill Stein, saying “while we support electoral reforms, including how the vote is counted, we do not support the current recount being undertaken by Jill Stein.”
According to the CNN final vote tally it appears that Jill Stein, the Green Party candidate, may have kept Hillary Clinton from winning the White House.
Here are the numbers for the recount states where Stein was on the ballot:
Wisconsin:
(W) Trump – 1,403,694
Clinton – 1,380,823
Stein – 30,934
Difference – 22,871
Pennsylvania:
(W) Trump – 2,912,941
Clinton – 2,844,705
Stein – 48,912
Difference – 68, 236
Michigan:
(W) Trump – 2,279,805
Clinton – 2,268,193
Stein – 50,700
Difference – 11,612
Had Stein not been on the ballot in the above three state an automatic recount would have happened.
Other close states that could have done a recount had Stein not been on the ballot:
Florida:
(W) Trump – 4,605,515
Clinton – 4,485,745
Stein – 64,019
Difference – 119,770
Maine:
(W) Clinton – 354,873
Trump – 334,838
Stein – 14,075
Difference – 20,035
Had Stein not been on the ballot of these states the margin between the two candidates would have have forced a recount (especially in Florida). Therefore, Stein hurt Hillary Clinton’s chance to become the President of the United States.
Ironic isn’t it.

Thanks for running Jill………
I wouldn’t assume Stein voters would automatically vote for Clinton.
