The chances are slim to none and slim just left town. Trump won and no recount is going to reverse those results. The Left is playing mind games to tarnish Trump's victory and make some of his more gullible supporters concerned and upset that somehow Trump will not be the 45th President of the United States of America.

Trump will be inaugurated on January 20th. Deal with it.

Carl Cameron reported that in PA, a recount can be asked for in specific precincts if there is a petition made by three of the voters in that precinct along with a notarized affidavit (he didn’t say what the affidavit had to include). The deadline is not the same for all precincts and the deadline has passed in many of them. So there is no way to petition for a state wide recount via this method.

I’m assuming the remaining method is to petition the court and I’m not sure what criteria would be used to make a finding in this situation. I would think the bar would have to be pretty high at this late a date. They’ve had almost three weeks and doing this at the stroke of midnight will hopefully be seen as a cynical ploy.

recounts always seem to fav dem, never the reverse. They always manage to find new votes

It is confusing. I saw reports that WI required a $1.1 million filing fee to be paid upon submitting the formal request for the recount (last Friday). Once the tabulation of the recount cost is made, the petitioner also pays that amount. So there may be two separate steps.

On top of that, the petitioner pays lawyers fees, but presumably only for their lawyers, not the lawyers of others (like Trump, Clinton, etc.).

Don’t forget, some leftists “complained” about counts they didn’t like in three Wisconsin counties last week, and they got the officials there to remove 2,000 votes from Trump at the last minute before certification.

The major basis for this recount is what they pulled off there. They are no doubt planning to use the same tactics of intimidation, threats and harassment to get officials in every other county to throw out more Trump votes.

https://www.palmerreport.com/news/three-wisconsin-precincts-revise-vote-totals-caught-padding-donald-trumps-numbers/228/

The story goes like this: after Wisconsin posted its voting totals, various internet users who looked at the numbers noticed the same discrepancy.

So after it became a minor online controversy, those precincts each revised their totals. The result: more than a thousand imaginary votes for Donald Trump came off the board from those three precincts alone...

“In order to give election returns to the Outagamie County Clerk’s office as quickly as possible the Chief Inspector added together the votes from the election machine tapes. An error was made while keying the numbers on the calculator during this process resulting in an incorrect number of votes reported on Election night.”

Has it occurred to the Democrats that in demanding a delayed recount that they may wind up DISENFRANCHISING voters in all the states where the recount can’t be completed in time and the electoral votes may not count?????? I realize Trump and Pence will still take office, thank God.

Please keep in mind that any wack job can post anything at a website. Just because some no name website “reports” something does not make it accurate or even real.

I thought I read in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that an actual recount will not start until Thursday.

The Palmer Report linked above is obviously, very left-wing.

I’ve read that since all of MI and much of PA use paper ballots not possible to hack, Stein’s evidence of fraud is strictly limited to supposed differences between actual results and polling, prior to and exit. I cannot imagine a PA judge granting a recount on those terms. To do so would say that poll results should determine election outcome.

That’s what I heard on Varney this morning. It is a fund raiser and that is all. Pretty convenient not to follow the rules and not actually have to pay any of the funds out.

Here’s listing of events to take place in this recount process.
It’s from USA Today which can’t be posted to FR.

Did the “thousand imaginary votes” come from one of the precincts or all three?

Also, is there any proof to validate his claims? I haven’t seen it anywhere else.

He’s obviously a left wing extremist political hack that has a website for clowns that want to believe what he’s spewing.

Wisconsin Recount Could Begin Thursday

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The recount of Wisconsin’s presidential election could begin Thursday,
after payment is received from one or both of the little-known candidates who are requesting it.

The Wisconsin Elections Commission voted unanimously Monday to approve the recount timeline. Both
Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein and Independent presidential candidate Rocky De La Fuente
requested a recount Friday, but only Stein has been actively raising money for the effort that could
cost $1 million or more.

You’re right. Those funds would not be immediately available.

The same pundits who were saying, the first days of November, that there was absolutely no way that Trump could get to 270 electoral votes.

And that contesting the results was "a direct threat to democracy", and that only kooks believe in voter fraud, and that voter fraud happens less than lightning...
