Democratic Party will join forces with the Green
party and challenge the result of the US election. This has sparked fears the
failed Presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton could usurp Donald Trump and storm the White
House. Clinton’s team mooted its support for the recount in Wisconsin which has
been plotted by Jill Stein and would
also help potential recounts in a further two key swing states.
Marc Elias, the Clinton camp’s general counsel, said
that the campaign would team-up with flailing Green party candidate Stein to
see through the deluded attempts to salvage Clinton’s catastrophic failure in
the election.
Elias admitted there was no “actionable evidence”
that efforts by Russia had swayed the outcome, and acknowledged there was
little chance any recount would make a difference. He wrote: “Because we had
not uncovered any actionable evidence of hacking or outside attempts to alter
the voting technology, we had not planned to exercise this option ourselves,
but now that a recount has been initiated in Wisconsin. “Now that a recount has
been initiated in Wisconsin, we intend to participate in order to ensure the
process proceeds in a manner that is fair to all sides.”
Stein raised more than $5 million to fund the
hopeless effort, submitting the request an hour before the deadline Friday
afternoon. The scheme garnered support from embittered Clinton supporters who
frequently complained interference from Russia influenced the results.
The Democrat’s move to join forces with the Green
party has drawn criticism from Trump who condemned the move.
The billionaire Republican blasted Jill Stein’s
“scam” to initiate a recount in Wisconsin and attacked the “badly defeated and
demoralised” Democratic party for joining the bid to overthrow democracy. Clinton’s
campaign will join the efforts despite the fact President Obama’s administrations
issued a statement Saturday concluding the election was free of outside
interference.
It added: “The federal government did not observe
any increased level of cyberactivity aimed at disrupting our electoral process
on Election Day.”
