The Wisconsin vote in the presidential election is undergoing a recount. Green Party candidate Jill Stein, who requested the Wisconsin recount, also has raised funds for a recount in Pennsylvania and is seeking more funds for one in Michigan and possibly other states. Could the recounts possibly change the outcome in any of the states? Not if they go anything like statewide recounts over the last 16 years.
Recounts typically don’t swing enough votes to change the winner. Out of 4,687 statewide general elections between 2000 and 2015, just 27 were followed by recounts, according to data compiled by FairVote, a nonpartisan group that researches elections and promotes electoral reform. Just three of those 27 recounts resulted in a change in the outcome, all leading to wins for Democrats: Al Franken’s win in Minnesota’s 2008 U.S. Senate race, Thomas M. Salmon’s win in Vermont’s 2006 auditor election and Christine Gregoire’s win in Washington’s 2004 gubernatorial race.

key phrase “...all leading to wins by democrats...”.
Franken’s seat was OBVIOUSLY stolen by the recount...
where the opponent failed to watch or object to ballots suddenly discovered to have gotten lost in the out-house, etc
everyone knows that was a stolen seat.
Mr Trump needs to be PROACTIVE and send in trained observers ... and NOT just limit himself to (correct and) amusing little Tweets. Soros/DNC will steal the election from him if he’s not there to defend it now, imho
but I am sure he knows this
Wait till they start finding Hillary votes in the trunks of cars with Trump stickers....
He should probably also challenge the results in NH, MN and VA.
They are up to something sleazy and devious.
Just checked their web site. They still have Hillary 82% chance of winning the election.
NAte and his nuts have no cred as they say in America.
They do lead to more preparation.
They are trying to de-legitimize Trump by forcing it to be decided by the Congress.
We need to fight fire with fire.
Starting right now, we all need to post everywhere we can (Twitter, Facebook, blogs, etc.), as frequently as we can, the following:
Trump: 306 Clinton: 232 = Electoral Landslide by Donald Trump.
Put it in their face every hour of every day. No respite, no quarter, show them their tactic will not work.
It would cause the most vicious, bloody conflict since the war between the states...
Trump didn’t get this far being naive, as we both know.
I caught that too. Natalie Silver is still playing stupid after he AGAIN failed to live up to his stat wonderboy status for the libs.
It ain’t 2012 where you got lucky with your dart throwing skills and made up models.
FINE! yes Since Soros/Jill/HilLIARy are gonna play this dirty game, so should Mr Trump
(AS WELL as his aide’s statement today that she may still be prosecuted! .... they need to ADD that Soros will also be investigated SERIOUSLY on all his apparent criminal aspects!)
that might finally stop this BS !
As I understand from a Freeper I respect for their knowledge and lack of hysteria, the Wisconsin recount will NOT allow the introduction of “lost” ballots as in the Al Franken case.
Trump will be POTUS and he will be hounded by the MSM-DNC every single day. He will turn it around and destroy them for the near future.
- not originally a Trump fan. Things change. I was not a conservative libertarian until Reagan. Shite, I voted for Carter, only once. There is hope for most of us.
I cannot see any other way that this would play out.
AGREED!
Trump ain’t naive or stupid
so he is probably right on top of all this BS and NOT just coasting
he has to fight fire with fire, the Soroscabal is definitely trying to steal the election!!! and they’ll do it if they can get away with it, too, they have never demonstrated ANY scruples or morals at ALL
From Reddit:
>Be Hillary Clinton
>Forget that the electoral college exists
>Run a campaign pandering to blue-haired feminists, BLM, and elderly liberal women
>Forget that these people are all clustered in a few states in large cities
>Repeatedly alienate, insult and ignore white voters
>Have Obama chastise non-white conservatives and undecideds for potentially “insulting his legacy” if they vote against you
>Forget that this demographic has control of more states and is not cucked enough to consider voting for you now
>Lose the election because of it
>”i-it’s rigged”
Then why did you insinuate otherwise with the rest of your post?
