Huh? Which law school allows a degree in “voting rights”?
Seriously, can I get a law degree in “nose picking injury”?
My guess is the machine as were in the urban areas and paper ballots in rural areas. Urban areas went for Hillary. Nobody else did.
why assume any one counties vote should be the same proportionally as another?
If they were hacked, it was for the Demonicrat side.
This afternoon, Huma Abedin’s sister Heba encouraged her Facebook followers to lobby the Justice Department to audit the 2016 vote. “Call the DOJ…and tell them you want the votes audited,” she wrote. “Even if it’s busy, keep calling.”
I wish I was that sure.
Trump won Pa....
He overcame the Philly extra vote.
You may recall that in the last election they had an over 100% voting result that was never investigated....
Silver is an opportunist, I don’t trust him.
Silver, Sabato should join the wrong weather forecasters association or the always wrong football prognosticators league...
These so called experts were finally exposed....
If Hillary attempts this and fails, then President Trump should reconsider his decision not to prosecute Hillary.
The point of this is not to actually challenge the results, it’s to build a narrative for talking points for the next two years to deligitimize the 2016 elections results and make voters believe democrats should have won and it’s time for payback...
Noise and hot air to give the protestors a script.
Anything to FIND all those missing Klinton votes that did not make it to the counting stations for her.
Does this have anything to do with Michigan dragging its heals certifying the vote?

Y-you mean you’d disenfranchise those poor immigrants, yearning to breath free? How could you, you mean spirited right wing baby killer, you./s
What’s that about Trump not accepting the election results?

LOL. I bet you’re not alone.
There is no doubt that Shrillary would loose votes in a honest recount.
Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, huh?
Michigan’s system of elections is conducted by 1,603 municipal clerks in cities, villages and townships using paper ballots that are scanned into a machine - http://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/politics/2016/10/17/michigan-election-integrity-rigged-trump/92320860/
So why is Michigan included here? Because two weeks after the election the results have yet to be certified! Democrats need time to manufacture votes.
