Mounting the Offensive on Recount this is a States Rights IssueCommunity , we need to mount an offensive against this growing chorus for recounts in Wisconsin , Michigan and Pennsylvania . We live in a Constitutional Republic , thus why we elect our national leaders via the Electoral College . As a Constitutional Republic , our States are sovereign unto themselves and chose to form a Compact with all states in forming our Union . As sovereign States , each has their own legal procedures for elections . Secretaries of States follow these individual processes , and certify State elections . The Secretaries of State for Wisconsin , Michigan and Pennsylvania have already certified their State results , so this uprising demand challenges the very existence of States Rights . Therefore , any demand for recount must go through each State ' s independent process . Demands for recount occur prior to certification Florida BushGore , what is occurring in NC Gubernatorial election all were contested prior to certification . We need to get the word out to our leaders that they now need to retain the most capable attorneys to fight against this upswell by encouraging 1 A full review of election procedural laws within Wisconsin , Michigan and Pennsylvania to ensure that the correct process is followed . 2 Prior to any decision for a recount ' audit ', recount petitioners for each State are verified as Residents of the specific State and are US Citizens why should petitioners of say , California or New York , be permitted to petition the State of Wisconsin , Michigan or Pennsylvania ? . 3 Prior to any decision for a recount , the funding to pay for such activity is fully audited to ensure outside influences are not at play again , why should funding from an outside resource pay for a recount in Wisconsin , Michigan or Pennsylvania ? These States are sovereign entities . 4 Prior to any decision for a recount , valid State petitioners need to demonstrate how Wisconsin , Michigan and Pennsylvania Secretaries of State violated sovereign State law in their certification process . 5 Prior to any decision for a recount , valid State petitioners need to show proof of voting malpractice . I ' m sure that there are more points to be made , so let ' s get the word out !
