With recount effort now underway in the three razor-tight swing states of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, it turns out Hillary Clinton has already moved closer to winning those states than had originally been announced. In the past two weeks Michigan and Wisconsin have both voluntarily revised the size of Donald Trump’s “win” downward by thousands of votes each. And now Pennsylvania has shrunk the size of Trump’s win by tens of thousands of votes.
It’s important to understand that these revisions have been made by the states before the recounts even got underway. These shifts in the vote totals have been based on precincts revising their own numbers, either because they caught errors of their own accord, or in some instances because internet gawkers spotted numerical impossibilities that forced those precincts to check themselves. But the sudden shift in Pennsylvania voting totals is dramatic, in that it wipes out around one-third of Trump’s lead in the state ahead of the recount.
Here’s what happened: according to this USA Today article and several other sources, the vote totals in Pennsylvania had Donald Trump winning by 70,638 votes – a number which was often quoted as a reason for why Hillary Clinton would supposedly have no chance of flipping the state in a recount. But earlier today, the respected Decision Desk HQ posted the newly revised totals from Pennsylvania, which have Donald Trump ahead by just 46,938 votes. That means Trump’s lead in the state has now shrunk by 23,700 votes, based on what it says are newly revised numbers out of Philadelphia.
Again, this massive shift in Hillary Clinton’s direction in Pennsylvania is coming before the recount, based on precincts making their own revisions. It’s notable that all three states in question have now revised their totals sharply in Clinton’s favor before any statewide recounting. Clinton has caught up by more than two thousand votes in Michigan, and caught up by more than five thousand votes in Wisconsin – and now by more than 23,000 votes in Pennsylvania. These were all due to initial errors in Trump’s favor, which have now been corrected. How many more such errors will the recounts uncover?
They WILL steal the election if they can.
And the Demoncrats wouldn't want this to happen because?
They will die trying!
Because they would get slaughtered like gnats.
What a surprise!
Absolutely brazen corruption.
All those folks who’ve been posting CW2 ... it sure looks like that’s what HilLIARy/ soros/ Obama want.
Ping to article
Did she have 27,000 ballots in her car trunk like that slimeball Al Franken did in Minnesota?
Interesting that recounts always go in the favor of Democrats. And Democrats always fight voter id laws and the lead Democrat Obama encouraged non citizens to vote.
Pretty much what FR is going to be all weekend.
People that have read nothing all week, go to some 3rd tier blog site, and then rush here with misleading titles, breathless agony, screams for a civil war, tons of broken caps-lock buttons, and other assorted foolishness.
I'll believe that in another ten days when state totals are submitted for counting by the electoral college. Democrats and their crony judges ALWAYS find a way to cheat.
But why is it that, when they review and count provisional and absentee ballots, that it ALWAYS results in additional Democrat votes??? Something doesn’t add up here.
“Interesting that recounts always go in the favor of Democrats.”
This story isnt about recounts.
He does this. Vanities. Newspaper tabloids. He has a thing for cluttering up news.
What doesn’t add up is the fact that Trump received some absentee ballot votes too, which is glanced over in too many of these articles.
#2 this is for Philadelphia, which voted overwhelmingly for Hillary, so it isn’t a shock that the absentee ballots went that way as well.
It’s because the ratio of democrats to republicans in the area where the ballots were from is about 5-1.
This is a non story. He’s up by 46K votes roughly.
“Rim Country” Ha Ha..Sounds like a Jill and Hill fantasy website! Relax people!!!
The PA news is 2 days old and was all over Twitter, this forum, the internet, you name it. If you missed it, you must have been napping for 2 days.
“Newly revised totals out of Philadelphia”
Buy more ammo.
