Stein concedes end of Mich. recount, suggests reform [View all]

Officially, history will record President-elect Donald Trump as having won the 2016 presidential race in Michigan by some 10,704 votes.

But Dr. Jill Stein, the Green Party’s presidential candidate in the 2016 election, believes that the numbers would be different if all 4.8 million votes cast in the Wolverine State were recounted.

That won’t happen, Stein conceded in a rally in downtown Detroit on Saturday, a day after the non-recused members of the Michigan Supreme Court ruled, by a 3-2 margin, against Stein’s appeal, leaving the candidate with no recourse.

“We may be moving out of the court of law, but we’re moving into the court of public opinion,” Stein said.

Seems like she will have a lot of leftover money given to her by Democrats. Something tells me she won't be returning those funds.
