Recount would have to move quickly (WI)

Just went thru the Wisconsin recount manual.

1) They can use machine tabulators, in the absence of a court order requiring hand count.

2) All candidates must be informed of a recount and all are permitted to object to the recount and can provide evidence concerning the objection. (Such as Stein can’t win)

3) A danger I see . . . rejected absentee ballots and provisional ballots are re-examined to see if they should be included. Those that were included are NOT re-examined to see if they should be rejected.

If they wanted Hillary to win the best thing to do would have been to get behind her and campaign for her instead of against her

[wiseprince]

Hopefully this all means Trump doesn’t feel the need to be magnanimous

[funfan]

So if someone only won 1 vote and had no chance in hell to overturn the election could request a full recount as long as they paid the fees.

[okie01]

Disagree. They may think they can “find” enough votes failing that They want a hand count to delay long enough to deny Trump Electoral College votes. They will do the same in PA & MI. I believe there is a real threat here.

Should the re-count delay the vote tally beyond the date that is constitutionally specified for certification, the state legislature is empowered to assign the state's electors to whichever candidate they wish.

Recall that, in 2000, the Florida legislature was preparing to do their constitutional duty when the SCOTUS decision that essentially ended Gore v Bush came down.

[okie01]

I failed to note:

1. If the state legislatures act, Trump will not be denied any EV.

2. In all three states, Republicans control both houses of the legislature.

[Engedi]

So what happens if WI misses their deadline for count certification? Maybe this is the goal, so no winner can have WI because they missed the deadline?

[Engedi]

Wow, this is the goal. If WI misses their deadline, their 10 electoral votes would be void.

If the proposed Wisconsin recount is not completed on time, the state’s 10 Electoral College votes could be rendered void. In that scenario, Trump would be left with 296 electoral votes, which is still 26 more than the 270 needed to win the presidency.

Will check to see if MI and PA has this as well.

[Engedi]

If WI can’t do the recount by Dec 13th, their electoral vote of 10 will be voided and not counted, meaning Trump would lose 10. This rule probably exists for MI and PA as well. If deadlines are missed, all the electoral votes will be voided for those states.

[gibsonguy]

Thanks for the info, l was just looking to see who controls the legislature(s).
I won’t rest easy until Trump takes the oath.

[Homer1]

Soros and Hillary are behind this. While many were fooled by her cute little speech, she never conceded this election. She has had her team working day and night to try to overturn it,

[txhurl]

Then WAR it is.

Boycott time too.

[ssaftler]

The IQTest in common use, the WAIS-R has a floor of 60. Results are not reliable below that.

Sounds like you've just described the Leftist mind. Results are not reliable...

Democrats assured us 1. there is no voter fraud and 2. you MUST accept the outcome of the election. So what happened? Oh yeah, they got their asses handed to them. Those rules apply only if they win

from the wisc. recount manual

When Does the Recount Begin?

The recount begins no earlier than 9 a.m. on the day following delivery of notice to all candidates and no later than 9 a.m. on the day following the last day for filing the recount petition. Wis. Stat. § 9.01(1)(ar)3.

In a recount ordered by the Wisconsin Elections Commission, the board of canvassers shall convene no later than 9 a.m. on the second day following receipt of the order by the county clerk. Wis. Stat. § 9.01(1)(ar)3.

If the following morning is a Saturday (or holiday) the Wisconsin Elections Commission recommends that the board of canvassers begin the recount on the Saturday (or holiday)

do they have to start tomorrow ?

[stylin19a]

from the wisc. elections web site:

We plan to hold a teleconference meeting for county clerks next week and anticipate the recount will begin late in the week after the Stein campaign has paid the recount fee, which we are still calculating.”

seems they should be starting this recount sooner.

[stylin19a]

arg....

looks like they don’t have to start the recount until the fee is paid.
The fee can’t be paid until the cost is calculated.
The state is still calculating what the cost will be.

[randita]

Trump just hired this guy who is an election law expert - Donald McGahn - White House Counsel and Assistant to the President.

Trump knew it was coming. He’ll be prepared.

Not sure what happens if the recount can’t be completed by Dec. 13. Hopefully, it will just default back to the original election certification.

[uncbob]

Bush won Florida because there was no way they could recount the whole state in time for the certification date

7-2 decision said they had to do the whole state

5-2 decision said they had to do it by certification date which was impossible

[randita]

Should the re-count delay the vote tally beyond the date that is constitutionally specified for certification, the state legislature is empowered to assign the state's electors to whichever candidate they wish.

Then the Rats can default to the "selected, not elected" meme. Rats can't win this. All they can do is delegitimize.

The last thing they want is for the recounts to proceed quickly and smoothly, with the same result as before. They want for either the courts or the legislatures to step in.
