What is the UKs reasoning on doing this ? <| sep |> Why is a Polaris more practical ? it will need more crew The Jump also carries a fighter or even two on board as well as cargo storage . I also don ' t know where you get the it ' s better protected from ? <| sep |> Copy and pasted form a other comment what Jill Stein might not do anything Just for fun since it ' s Thanksgiving and I ' m stuck at work when none of my customers are , I did some mad Googling just to see if Stein has any standing here . For the record , I ' m not a lawyer nor do I play one on TV , the Internet or anywhere else . Stein is on the ballot on all three of these states . No clue if this affects her standing to request a recount or not but here ' s the breakdown . WI Has no automatic recount rules . Only a candidate may request a recount . Stein would qualify I presume as she ' s on the ballot . Friday is the deadline . According to the rules , the Stein campaign would have to foot the bill . The campaign would need to state a reason and provide evidence for their reason . Something like I lost doesn ' t work while something like Fraudulent voting based on X , Y and Z instances might . It would seem the Elections Commission has the right to reject petitions if they don ' t think the reason is valid . It looks like they are using some sort of fill in the bubble ballot with an optical scanner for voting and a recount involves looking at ballots by hand . Source PA Automatic recount if margin is less than . 5 %. That doesn ' t apply here . They also do recounts automatically if a discrepancy is found , for example , there are 1 , 000 registered voters but 1100 votes were cast . Candidates can ' t ask for a recount . They can appeal the results of the election . Appeals go to some sort of board per 25 P . S . 3157 . This board decides if a recount is necessary . Campaign is on the hook for all costs of the recount if the board decides to do one and says they ' re on the hook . Source s t a t e r e c o u n t l a w s s e a r c h a b l e d a t abasestatesPennsylvaniaMI Automatic recount on margins 2 k . Doesn ' t seem to apply here . Reasons here seem narrower . A candidate must prove fraud or mistake in the canvass of the votes . They use paper ballots here . I personally think there is no chance in seven hells that any of these recount petitions even get approved . There ' s just no evidence of fraud anywhere . You can ' t base allegations on polls ahead of time . Also , whether they recount or not , Stein and Hillary both lose so what ' s the point ? Comment credit to BurnedOutITGuy
