Thanks to Jill Stein, the Green Party candidate, Wisconsin is having the first statewide recount in 16 years. Volunteers have come to a Milwaukee county to recheck all of the state's ballots. In the building, the ballots are being guarded by a county sheriff, and no one is allowed in that room except election officials. Jill Stein has initiated this effort to check against hacking, human error, and machine error. She feels that not all of the votes were even counted. On Twitter, she is using the hashtag #Recount2016.
This is very interesting. I hadn't heard anything about a statewide recount until now. I think it's important for the public to know that things like this are happening and can happen. The story may have a positive impact on someone who felt unsure about the process of counting the ballots, but it may have a negative impact on someone who is happy with the way the election turned out. Either way, I think it's important to hear about because it showcases the power of our democracy and the fact that we have the right to recount the ballots. This can be related to the Florida recount in 2000 with George W. Bush and Al Gore. The recount was settled in Bush's favor after the court case Bush v. Gore.

Unfortunately for Jill stein she won't win one state. If she had felt the energy off a bit of antimony she would have known that it can't turn in her favor. She might have also gotten poisoned is she put it in her mouth. Can you read the energy off a crystal in your mouth?
ReplyDeleteOk so I looked it up and you're not supposed to put crystals in your mouth. That doesn't mean it's stopped anybody though. Maybe she puts them in her mouth to feel closer to them. She probably stores them up like a hamster in her cheeks.
ReplyDeleteOK Third update. I found an article about how to get closer with your crystals and is says straight up to stick them in your mouth. What the hell people?http://humansarefree.com/2014/09/10-ways-to-build-relationships-with.html
ReplyDeleteI think this recount is very interesting as well; it is important for the public to know the actual outcome of the election- of course that is if the recount shows anything different. But hey, it can do no harm, right?
