Hillarys Demands For Recount Backfires, Might Face Jail Because Of It Hillary Clinton has involved herself in Jill Steins push for recounts of votes in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Of course, this whole thing is a terrible ideaespecially given Clintons current standing with the law.

Trump has already responded to Clintons decision to back Stein with outragearguing that she has already conceded.
