HILLARY Clinton will join forces with the Green party and challenge the result of the US election – sparking fears the failed Presidential candidate could usurp Donald Trump and storm the White House.
Clinton’s team mooted its support the recount in Wisconsin which has been plotted by Jill Stein – and would also help potential recounts in a further two key swing states.
Marc Elias, the Clinton camp’s general counsel, said that the campaign would team-up with flailing Green party candidate Stein to see through the deluded attempts to salvage Clinton’s catastrophic failure in the election.
Elias admitted there was no “actionable evidence” that efforts by Russia had swayed the outcome, and acknowledged there was little chance any recount would make a difference.
He wrote: “Because we had not uncovered any actionable evidence of hacking or outside attempts to alter the voting technology, we had not planned to exercise this option ourselves, but now that a recount has been initiated in Wisconsin.
“Now that a recount has been initiated in
Wisconsin, we intend to participate in order to ensure the process proceeds in a manner that is fair to all sides.”
Stein raised more than $5 million to fund the hopeless effort, submitting the request an hour before the deadline Friday afternoon.
The scheme garnered support from embittered Clinton supporters who frequently complained interference from Russia influenced the results.
The Democrat’s move to join forces with the Green party has drawn criticism from Trump who condemned the move.
The billionaire Republican blasted Jill Stein’s “scam” to initiate a recount in Wisconsin and attacked the “badly defeated and demoralised” Democratic party for joining the bid to overthrow democracy.
Clinton’s campaign will join the efforts despite the fact President Obama’s administrations issued a statement Saturday concluding the election was free of outside interference.
It added: “The federal government did not observe any increased level of cyberactivity aimed at disrupting our electoral process on Election Day.”
