With recount effort now underway in the three razor-tight swing states of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, it turns out Hillary Clinton has already moved closer to winning those states than had originally been announced. In the past two weeks Michigan and Wisconsin have both voluntarily revised the size of Donald Trump’s “win” downward by thousands of votes each. And now Pennsylvania has shrunk the size of Trump’s win by tens of thousands of votes.
It’s important to understand that these revisions have been made by the states before the recounts even got underway. These shifts in the vote totals have been based on precincts revising their own numbers, either because they caught errors of their own accord, or in some instances because internet gawkers spotted numerical impossibilities that forced those precincts to check themselves. But the sudden shift in Pennsylvania voting totals is dramatic, in that it wipes out around one-third of Trump’s lead in the state ahead of the recount.
Here’s what happened: according to this USA Today article and several other sources, the vote totals in Pennsylvania had Donald Trump winning by 70,638 votes – a number which was often quoted as a reason for why Hillary Clinton would supposedly have no chance of flipping the state in a recount. But earlier today, the respected Decision Desk HQ posted the newly revised totals from Pennsylvania, which have Donald Trump ahead by just 46,938 votes. That means Trump’s lead in the state has now shrunk by 23,700 votes, based on what it says are newly revised numbers out of Philadelphia.
Again, this massive shift in Hillary Clinton’s direction in Pennsylvania is coming before the recount, based on precincts making their own revisions. It’s notable that all three states in question have now revised their totals sharply in Clinton’s favor before any statewide recounting. Clinton has caught up by more than two thousand votes in Michigan, and caught up by more than five thousand votes in Wisconsin – and now by more than 23,000 votes in Pennsylvania. These were all due to initial errors in Trump’s favor, which have now been corrected. How many more such errors will the recounts uncover?
Only democrat leads widen. In all cases, “found” votes will favor democrats.
Not true. The PA votes all not all counted and not certified yet.
When Obama went on video and encouraged illegals - NON-CITIZENS - citizens of foreign countries - to vote and cancel out legitimate votes, banana republic is exactly where we are.
A felony, Obama told illegals they’d face no criminal consequences for voting in our election.
Yet Trump was ridiculed for questioning the legitimacy of the voting.
Trump not only had to win he had to win by a few million votes to get over the fake/illegal/dead/double votes.
Then I have to wonder how it is , that a big percentage of the vote doesn’t get counted promptly on election day, and so many uncounted votes just hapoen to be from Democrat strongholds???
“But why is it that, when they review and count provisional and absentee ballots, that it ALWAYS results in additional Democrat votes?”
Do you really not know?
Most need to get a grip here and stop with the political hypochondria. This is true ups of the absentees and provisionals. Philly was completed and certified Wednesday morning at 8:00. Current Trump lead is a bit under 50,000 and growing as the rural counties true up. He’s fine. I get the concern because the Democrats are the Democrats, but this forum is becoming exceedingly annoying to read.

Donald Trump isn't going to let Jill Stein steal three states for Hillary Clinton and as best as I can tell, he's currently behaving like a man who will soon be president, not sweating these silly recounts.
If President-elect Trump isn't worried about Stein's shameless money-grab, I'm not either.
If it’s any guide, 4 million votes were added to Romney’s election night total by the time the votes were certified weeks later.
Why?
I’m in Michigan, and goodness knows I cant figure how it took us forever either.
But there were other places that counted theirs, but the largest are from the big cities, and the big cites are where the Dems are.
Thanks for the link.
How many millions of extra votes did Trump get to overcome all the fraud?
Hillary erred in opening the door to questioning the integrity of the election. Now President Trump can do an audit of, say, California. Find out what illegals voted, issue warrants for their arrest, and then go state by state.
Leip tally 46,530 lead this morning. OK as long as election officials in Philadelphia don’t ‘find’ more votes. Still 0.7% lead. I’d be worried if I were am election official who produced 46k Hillary votes somewhere
There is no recount underway in Pennsylvania,
Strange how no votes are found for Trump....hmmmmm.
yep, the nation cannot tolerate what has been going on or we will be enslaved, murdered and weeded out as an enemy of the commie islamic state
I’m not an expert by any means, but I do work in data analytics for Financial Services. Just basic analysis would tell me that there was either suppression of or fraudulent votes of anywhere from 2-3M for Hillary. In Cali alone, Trump has 1M less votes than Willard and McCain got in 12 and 08. That’s impossible. Do you realize how many votes 1M votes is? In an election of 120M voters, even a 1 point fraud factor is 1.2M voters.
So while we may never know for sure, I am very comfortable saying the 2-3M figure when you factor in plain numbers before our eyes, obvious double voting in sunbird states such as FL, NY, NC, NV, etc. And we are not even really considering illegals. It could be much higher.
To the larger point here, these recounts are stupid and they can be stressful, but people need to get the fact that some of this data is easily explainable and that Trump is all over it. They are not going to steal this.
Not ALL the Mail In ballots. They don’t count the Military votes unless they exceed the margin of victory.
But they don't think that. They are, of course, delusional.
But will nevertheless destroy this country in the process.
Correct! The Country Reemers have no idea what they’re talking about. Pennsylvania missed the deadline.
I don't have the stats in front of me, but in PA Dems probably have a sizeble advantage in voter registration.
So it stands to reason they would probably have a somewhat proportional advantage in provisional ballots cast. USUALLY. Obviously this was an unusual year.
I'm not clicking on the leftist website to see if they're reporting on which districts have updated their totals. We might ultimately see a lot of provisional ballots coming in from western PA that are tallied for Trump. But I would expect those "new" votes to be scattered across counties, rather than coming in large blocs from the big city counties.
I totally agree! Democrats thought they can use this incremental approach to steal the election county by county. Boy, they are playing fire since people have tasted the freedom and now they would rather die than being cheated by same villains!
