I’m hearing claims that 18,000 Hillary votes, and a few thousand Trump votes, were invalidated, thus increasing Trump’s lead by an even greater degree, and that it is not being mentioned in the media since they’re only including votes that have not been invalidated. Not sure if it’s true though, as no one in the media is mentioning it.
You heard wrong. This has been addressed over and over on the Wisc Recount threads.
Milwaukee is posting partial results without absentees in them. Almost all wards. This results in many fewer Hillary votes and fewer Trump votes but . . . fewer fewer of those because it’s a Hillary area.
This will resolve with the absentees are included and the results no longer partial.
The variance from election night in every single complete ward so far, both Trump wards and Hillary wards, is only a vote or two so far, and it will be nearly 50% done by end of day.
18,000 seems really high. Is that on Twitter or somewhere else?
If true, that is actually disturbing. A recount shouldn’t change a vote by anything near that much. It is good if it happened in Trump’s favor but bad that it happened at all.
Outside of FR I heard of this only one time . It was on a Christian station.
“I’m hearing claims that 18,000 Hillary votes ... were invalidated, ...”

You’re hearing things again. Do you never tire of posting unfounded bull Crap?
If that were the case, Trump would have picked up more than 39 votes.
Just ignore that BS and go to the actual source:

Summary data from the spreadsheet: http://wbay.com/2016/12/03/recount-results-day-three/
The recount process always finds some errors, like a group of ballots someone forgot to count or an entry on the wrong column, but they are going to be very small. As will the undervotes where the optical scanners could not read the voters mark in the largest counties that use them. But one expert says that undervotes won’t exceed 1000 votes statewide and will be split in the proportion of the the overall vote.
