"This is a scam by the Green Party for an election that has already been conceded," Trump wrote, "and the results of this election should be respected instead of being challenged and abused, which is exactly what Jill Stein is doing." Cortes says he's also unaware of the courts having authority to do so

A Republican member of the Electoral College from Texas says he's resigning so he won't cast one of the state's 38 electoral votes for Donald Trump. In the Medium post, the Clinton campaign said it had "not uncovered any actionable evidence of hacking or outside attempts to alter the voting technology," but still plan to participate in the recount process. On Friday, Wisconsin election officials announced plans to move forward with a recount after Stein and Reform Party candidate Rocky De La Fuente submitted petitions. “Obviously, I do think that it’s an issue of concern, the fact that there’s a concern that so many … voted who were not legally supposed to,” Miller said, before adding, “I think there’s a responsibility from members of the media … to give an appropriate level of attention to some of these different concerns … as opposed to just chasing the shiny object of the Jill Stein recount effort, which is really just a way for Ms. Stein and the Green Party to make money.” Stein’s campaign claims to have raised over $6.3 million to file for recounts in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan. Jason Miller, communications director for President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team, urged the media Monday to focus on “issues of both voter fraud and illegal immigrants voting” rather than an election recount that he dismissed as “nonsensical” and a “shiny object.”

Miller’s comments came on the transition team’s daily press call when he was asked about a series of tweets Trump sent on Sunday asserting that he “won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally.” His campaign has provided no evidence for the claim, and outside experts say it has no merit.
