The Election Is Really, Really Over Now — And Donald Trump Is The Winner
Buzz Feed News ^ | December 3, 2016 | Chris Geidner

Pennsylvania court on Saturday accepted the Green Party’s request to end its case seeking a statewide recount — a move that ends any remaining doubt, however slight, about whether Donald Trump is the victor in the 2016 presidential race.

Most — including Hillary Clinton’s campaign — expected Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein’s recount efforts in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin not to change the result in any of those states. The reality, however, was that the election results would not have changed unless the recounts shifted the states to Clinton in all of those states.

With Pennsylvania off the table, even a flip in the Michigan and Wisconsin results would still leave Trump at 280 electoral votes — 10 above the 270 necessary to become the next president.

Lawyers for the Green Party told the Associated Press that they would not be able to meet the Monday deadline for a $1 million bond that the Pennsylvania court had ordered in the case....

How many precincts remain to be checked?

How many ballots in those precincts are there?

Is the number of ballots to be looked at, larger than the current difference separating Trump and illary?

Sensible democrats realize stealing the election would result in MORE democrats defecting - - more joining up with Trump.

Plus a recount lawsuit has just been filed in Florida.

Trump won Florida by 100,000 votes...

Never going to happen...
..........................................................
Gov. Rick Scott and Pam Bondi are STRONG Trump supporters. NO funny stuff will take Florida away from Trump.

I pray the WITCH sees these two photos. In my opinion, the Benghazi murderess is that ugly inside and out and add EVIL to the list.

What makes you so confident that there will not be any faithless electors? We have faithless congressmen and senators who run as Tea Party and turn establishment as soon as they are exposed to the money and seduction of Washington. What prevents someone like Bloomberg or Soros from offering $1M or even $10M to buy an Elector’s vote? Those bribes, whether totaling $40M or $400M are a small price to pay to buy the United States government, disarm America (unless there is a civil war), and create one world government with everyone but the elite poor and powerless.

Voter fraud runs rampant in the Vegas area. Look how they always dig up enough votes plus a few more.

I, personally, am going to war.

At the moment, it is a peaceful war.

A ‘Cold War’.

I am joining and will be a hardcore activist for True The Vote.

If they manage to get a federal judge or five to flip the election, my war goes hot.

In other news, the estate of Thomas E. Dewey has filed suit in Ohio, Texas, and California requesting a recount because a recent analysis of precinct-by-precinct returns suggested cheating by the Truman campaign.

like I said, I haven’t been able to find out anything more about it. Maybe it was fake news.
I can’t imagine 100 precincts is enough to do any damage.

ROTFLMAO! You do realize GWB won the electoral college much more narrowly and not one single elector failed to vote what he/she was supposed to vote. It would have taken far fewer bribes back then, right? Many states have rules that are very strict on this matter. That’s why it rarely happens.

Al Gore was a fundamentally decent person (by the standards of liberal politicians), just wrong on the major issues. He believed and still believes in the rule of law. Hillary is the opposite - as corrupt and power hungry as Barack Hussein, with absolutely no scruples. I’ll worry until December 19th and continue praying that my worries are baseless, but unlike Election 2000, I won’t be comfortable until after the Inauguration.
