This might be a better tactic than having HRC take it head on. Not sure of the legality of who can call an audit/recount, but if she is able to do so, great! It would pull the heat off of the Dems for bringing up the discrepancies and then let the results of the audit speak for themselves.

She's a political beast who did her best to pile on to the Clinton Hate Machine and that leaves me conflicted as to her true motives.

However, what ever the reason, an audit would be in the best interest of our democracy and hopefully begin the process of securing our votes and discourage people who have a desire to manipulate our election systems.
