Apparently several counties decided to go the hand-count method AFTER submitting their estimates to the state election board for machine recounting, no doubt as a means of injecting additional Jill Stein money into their local economies. I say kudos for their entrepreneurship!

I just don't get the thinking that hand counting is more accurate than machine counting. Why did we even bother inventing calculators and computers?

Here’s a gem from the DUmp, poor progs starting to emerge from safe spaces in search of cocoa and blankies...

“Recount began this AM in WI and I was doing so well

I have been so hopeful and not crying anymore. Well, I stayed late at the gym. 5:30-9AM and Kate, who I have not seen since the election, comes in and greets me and just starts bawling. I did not need that. She said Jody this is the end. We cannot be naive. This is how it started in Germany. I said I am grabbing onto any shred of hope like the recounts and audits and college that he will never make it into the WH. She replied he is in for good. We have to face it. So, now I feel like maybe I am a dope??? She said there are no heroes anymore... that is true. A stupid and uninformed electorate have given us this man. I took a few steps backwards and it doesn’t feel good. Kate and I are both firebrands in our city. We eat breathe and sleep politics. To see her so defeated like I was for 2 weeks leaves me shaky again.”

Sad part is that all of these who are so devastated and depressed will soon be on permanent Social Security disability, for the rest of us to support through their productive years. (Another opportunity for Trump to drain the swamp, IMHO.)

Donald Trump had actually gained a couple of votes in the first few hours of the Wisconsin recount.

HA!

“A stupid and uninformed electorate have given us this man.”

You know, they’re right about this. I don’t think a person like Trump would have been elected had we not gone through two terms of Obama. Had the electorate not been ridiculously stupid and uninformed in 2008 and 2012, Trump, more than likely, would have never had any hope at winning the White House.

Also, Obama, for all intents and purposes, prevented Hillary from winning the White Hut. He crushed her in 2008 and his hubris over the past 8 years set the stage for Trump’s victory in 2016. Had Obama been a good politician and simply pay his dues in the US Senate like Hillary did, chances are she would have held the WH for two terms, and the media would have allowed Obama to coast into the WH facing some milquetoast Republican candidate like Jeb Bush.

So, not only did the stupid and uninformed electorate of 2008 and 2012 declare their War on Women and prevented the most likely female candidate to win the White House from getting her entitlement, they also prevented the Democrats from holding onto the White House for at least 16 years straight, and they also set the stage for President Donald J. Trump.

;-).

When Re-Count ends, may Trumps Talley GO UP, and Hillarys Talley go down, down, DOWN.

I would bet a year's savings that this *never* happens. Show me one major recount where the DEM's numbers went down.

“I just don’t get the thinking that hand counting is more accurate than machine counting.”

If a human looks at the ballot they can determine *intent* in the votes. So if the ballot is 100% Dem except for Trump, well they obviously intended to vote Clinton and must have mismarked it. lol

And the person demanding the recount has absolutely zero possibility of becoming president. She has not been injured in any conceivable way since she has only 1% of the vote.

It’s like letting the little league coach in your town demand a replay of the final World Series game.

She’s right about there being no heroes anymore. Progressives killed and smeared them all.

I don’t think there should be any reason to cheer until we see the big numbers from the cities. If those don’t change (much) we might be okay.

Nobody hacked Wisconsin’s voting machines, because they’re not connected to the internet, and are almost entirely simple optical scanners that read paper ballots. (Most polling locations also have one or two touch screen machines that were added to provide “handicapped accessibility” a few years ago. Those machines are generally not used much, and they still produce a paper record of each ballot cast.)

I’d be surprised if the optical scanners could even be programmed to do anything but tabulate the votes from position a, position b, etc - and doing so would require compromising the code for literally hundreds of different ballots in hundreds of combinations/permutations of municipalities, districts, counties, etc. But if anyone really wanted to disprove such a theory, in the hopes that the candidate who got 1% of the vote actually won, they could test a sample of ballots by tabulating them manually, and then tabulating them by machine. They won’t match; in any sufficiently large sample, the hand count will be LESS accurate than the machine tabulation.

LOL...

You made me look. There’s a thread where they’re discussing his speech at Carrier:

Some DU comments. They’re all hilarious, but here are just three if you need a laugh:

“I couldn’t take it and have him turned off. I can’t even look! He’s everywhere!”

“HE JUST SAID ....”PEOPLE ARE CRYING”
he must see me here with tears streaming down my face and my agony.”

“The truly elected President is being forced to live in exile. She is an awesome person. Hopefully justice will some how prevail.”
