感恩節前又有大新聞冒出。首先已統計得票數，證實希拉里比川普多了200多萬張，創造了歷史的記錄。其次有電腦和選舉專家在密歇根、賓夕法尼亞和威斯康星三個“搖擺州”，發現得票數可能被操縱（1）。比較紙張選票和電腦選票的結果，發現選舉有被人為操控的可能。川普以微弱的多數，獲得此三州的選舉人票，但迄今未能發現系統被駭客入侵的可靠證據。

總統奧巴馬和另一候選人希拉里的團隊，迄今也未表態，或提出重新審核搖擺州選票的要求。這是一個艱難的時刻。如果重新驗票，真的推翻11月8日的宣布結果，有可能會導致更多的爭拗和抗爭。

民眾抗議和要求審核搖擺州選票的電話，打爆了司法部的熱線設置。而在Change網站上要求覆審的呼籲，在節前迅速達到了近20萬人的門檻。

而一些反對者認為，沒有證據能證實這些說法，並認為是一些希拉里支持者的輸不起的行為和搞事。有人甚至一口咬定，沒有駭客入侵的可能，當然也沒有證據支持這個說法 （2）。按照選舉規則，候選人提出複議，也是常事不值得大驚小怪。

而綠黨參選人Jill Stein 迅速地要求在這三個州，重新驗票 （3）。她要求的是小額民眾捐款，節前達到200萬，但被快速衝破。目前目標是700萬，以便正式在這三個州展開獨立調查。她強調不是為了改變選舉結果，而是確保選舉的誠信和民主的公正性。

民間動起來了，可這三個人卻默不作聲。希拉里一直強調俄羅斯駭客入侵民主黨的電腦系統，並盜取了大量電郵，證據不可否認。如今嫌疑“證據”又出現了，她和總統卻一言不發。令人關心的還是川普的態度和動作。離大選投票日還有幾周，川普當時聲稱幾千萬非法移民和幾百萬死人已投了票，可見他早已知道電腦數票時的貓膩。

當選後，川普已從他競選時的立場大規模的退縮，這是可以理解的。因為這會贏得反對者的妥協，但也會造成原支持者的抱怨。但有一樣是不能退縮和妥協的，這就是“讓美國變得更偉大”。川普強烈反對選舉被操縱，反對媒體的造謠和中傷。這些是真的還是假的，至今還各說各話。面對突如其來選舉被操縱的指責和疑問，大眾還是希望看到他的態度。確保美國民主的精髓，不被外人操控和破壞，這是“讓美國變得更偉大”的第一要素。

川普大慨不會公開反對這樣的重新驗票，但僅僅如此是不夠的。猜想感恩節晚的火雞宴上，川普一定和家人討論了此事。怎麼辦？打電話給克林頓夫妻？可以這麼說：我已經公開表態，不查你的電郵門。你也別再要求複查。老哥們了，成嗎？

可現在此事的推手是中間的草根力量。

現在還無法預料事態的發展。查票亦不一定能翻盤，但不查或此案爛手爛尾，對川普的影響可能更大。電腦專家們，不會放手正常的驗票程序。以後找到的任何證據，都將對川普執政不利。持續發酵的新聞也只會越抹越黑。老話“身正不怕影子歪”，誰願意去當被假票選出來的總統？川普該站出來了：大聲疾呼支持審核搖擺州的選票結果。

更新：本博客發表的第二天， 希拉里陣營已表態參與Jill的點票行動。總統相信目前無證據顯示有駭客攻擊，尊重選民的選擇。川普發飆，認為這是Jill的騙局（scam）。

Because of you, recounts in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania are funded! Next up is Michigan.

Congratulations on meeting the recount costs for Wisconsin and Pennsylvania! Raising money to pay for the first two recounts so quickly is a miraculous feat and a tribute to the power of grassroots organizing.

Now that we have completed funding Wisconsin's recount (where we will file on Friday) and funding Pennsylvania's recount (due Monday), we will focus on raising the needed funds for Michigan's recount (due Wednesday). The breakdown of these costs is described below!

On November 23, the Stein/Baraka Green Party Campaign launched an effort to ensure the integrity of our elections. With your help, we are raising money to demand recounts in these three states where the data suggests a significant need to verify machine-counted vote totals.

In true grassroots fashion, we’re turning to you, the people, and not big-money corporate donors to make this happen.

Your immediate support is crucial - Please donate now and share widely. Details You Need to Know 

In 2004, the Cobb/LaMarche campaign demanded a recount in Ohio. Because of their efforts, an election administrator went to jail. We also exposed the profound problems with DRE machines, which helped launch an election integrity movement. That provoked California to engage in a "top to bottom" review of their voting system, which culminated in the abolition of DRE machines.

The Green Party Platform calls for "publicly-owned, open source voting equipment and deploy it across the nation to ensure high national standards, performance, transparency and accountability; use verifiable paper ballots; and institute mandatory automatic random precinct recounts to ensure a high level of accuracy in election results."

Election integrity experts have independently identified Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin as states where "statistical anomalies" raised concerns. Our effort to recount votes in those states is not intended to help Hillary Clinton.

These recounts are part of an election integrity movement to attempt to shine a light on just how untrustworthy the U.S. election system is.

All money raised goes toward recounts in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. We hope to do recounts in all three states. If we only raise sufficient money for two, we will demand recounts in two states. If we only raise enough money for one, we will demand a recount in one state.

We cannot guarantee a recount will happen in any of these states we are targeting. We can only pledge we will demand recounts in those states.

If we raise more than what's needed, the surplus will also go toward election integrity efforts and to promote voting system reform.
