While Trump has convincingly won the electoral college votes, the counting of votes has indicated that Clinton leads by more than two million popular votes.
“This recount is just a way for Jill Stein, who received less than one percent of the vote overall and wasn’t even on the ballot in many states, to fill her coffers with money, most of which she will never even spend on this ridiculous recount. All three states were won by large numbers of voters, especially Pennsylvania, which was won by more than 70,000 votes,” said the US president-elect.
The Green Party meanwhile dismissed Trump’s allegations that it will not use the money raised for the purpose recounting of votes.
“For his information, this is all going into a dedicated and segregated account so that it can only be spent on the recount,” Stein told CNN in an interview.
“He may be creating his own facts here as he’s been known to do some times in the past. He himself said it was a rigged election unless he won it,” she said.
