Oh little Tj, you're adorable.
Ken Mehlman, Chairman of the RNC, held several large meetings with African-American business, community, and religious leaders. In his speeches, he apologized for his party's use of the Southern Strategy. When asked about the strategy of using race as an issue to build GOP dominance in the once-Democratic South, Mehlman replied,
"Republican candidates often have prospered by ignoring black voters and even by exploiting racial tensions," and, "by the '70s and into the '80s and '90s, the Democratic Party solidified its gains in the African-American community. Republicans gave up on winning the African-American vote, looking the other way or trying to benefit politically from racial polarization."

The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." - Isaac Asimov
I guess they are scared of something if recounts aren't happening there.
That's the logic we are going with, right? As the Trump states where they fight the recount look suspect.
True, I misread that.

The recount may end up stopping.
Minutes after the 6th Circuit issued that opinion, the Michigan Court of Appeals released a 3-0 opinion, following a hearing Tuesday afternoon, saying the state Board of Canvassers never should have allowed the recount to proceed because Stein — who received just more than 1% of the vote — did not qualify as an "aggrieved candidate" under state law.

A couple of thoughts. First of all, enough with the "little TJ", etc. Condescension doesn't actually make you smarter, and it makes you look dumber. I don't call you names; show some mutual respect.
Second, when you say "the RNC chairman", people assume you mean Reince Pribus, not some guy that briefly held the position a decade ago.
Lastly, a person citing history is not the same as saying, "This is our secret plan still today, muwhahaha!"
She would - but she had already joined Stein's efforts. Something must have gone wrong, though, if they are not citing Hillary as an also-aggrieved party.
It won't matter - they aren't going to do a proper recount, and the Trump Machine is shutting down efforts to allow it to happen. Not sure why they want to suppress this if nothing is wrong.
As I understand, at least in Michigan, you have to show that you are an "aggrieved" candidate. Jill Stein does not qualify as she was behind by a substantial margin and has literally nothing to gain as no matter the outcome of the recount, even if she were to be shown as the clear winner, she cannot become president.
I also found this:

which is the actual objection to the recount.
