First and foremost, there is the Wisconsin recount scheduled to begin soon. Despite a clear statement from Marc Elias, many seem to misunderstand the Clinton campaign's position.
We are getting attacked for participating in a recount that we didn't ask for by the man who won election but thinks there was massive fraud
Clearly,
Hillary and her campaign have not questioned the election result and
are observing the recount process as they as well as Trump's camp should
- especially since he appears to have a problem with the results.
“In
addition to winning the electoral college in a landslide, I won the
popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally.” — President-elect Donald Trump, in a tweet, Nov. 27
Angered
by demands for a recount in the three states that gave him an electoral
college victory, President-elect Donald Trump made a bold but
unsubstantiated assertion in a tweet — that “millions of people” voted
illegally in the presidential election. He suggested they voted for his
Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, who now leads in the popular vote by
2.2 million votes, and thus he actually also won the popular vote.
Winning
the electoral college is all that counts in the presidential race. But
losing the popular vote by such a substantial margin apparently gnaws at Trump. Is there any basis for his claim?
Hillary Clinton’s kept an understandably low profile since losing the election to Donald Trump. Her campaign team will join in recount efforts
in every state where a petition is successfully filed by Jill Stein.
However, Clinton will likely distance herself from these efforts and
maintain her current routine of shying away from the limelight unless
someone happens to catch her in dog-walking mode.
This provides a nice transition for Clinton’s first post-election
follow on Twitter, and those honors go to none other than Snoop Dogg.
