WHAT IS THAT RECOUNT ABOUT? – AT 12:32 P.M. ET:   Wisconsin, at the urging and with the financial support of Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein, is about to recount its presidential ballots.  But why?  There doesn't seem to be much of a problem at all.  From the Washington Times: 

he Wisconsin Elections Commission has found no evidence that any of its voting machines were hacked during the Nov. 8 election, a spokesman said Saturday.

Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein on Friday filed a petition to have a state recount on the sole grounds that data experts believe there may have been a cyberattack. They have no evidence, but contend that Democrat Hillary Clinton performed better where paper ballots, rather than electronic ones were used.

The Washington Times asked commission spokesman Reid Magney if there has been any indication of hacking.

“No evidence of hacking,” Mr. Magney said in an email.

The commission previously issued a statement saying it will routinely audit the performance of a sample of machines, which must achieve a performance rate of no more than one mistake per 500,000 votes. Since performing the audit beginning in 2006, not one machine has failed, the commission said.

Ms. Stein is raising a huge sum, heading toward $7 million, to pay for recounts in three battleground states where Republican Donald Trump scored upsets and won the presidency –– Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.

COMMENT:  It's very strange, but there are some new theories coming forward about the possible real purpose of this recount madness.  We'll discuss them during the week as more facts are known.
