Engel & Volkers rents a storefront office on Montana Avenue (as if you might drop in and buy a $4 million house in 90402, then proceed a few doors down to Starbucks). I guess it paid off for them.

Jill Stein received just under 1% of the national vote, and demanded recounts in Wisconsin, Michigan and Ohio. Hillary Clinton's Presidential Campaign filed joinders to Stein's effort, and by some accounts, directed donations to her political action committee. But why? Recounts historically have never changed the outcome of a State's presidential election outcome. They are costly and tedious, as they must be observed by campaign representatives. One theory is that Stein is simply hoping to...
