Trump remains ahead 47.6 to 47.3 with 100% counted. Well?

They don’t want a “3” in front of his EV count until the story fades and events overtake it. They are acting like the baby-fied people they are...

^ this..."3" means mandate.

Probably trying to find the fraudulent 15,000 votes for Hillary they lost in the trunk of a car in Detroit. They know they are there, just can’t seem to locate them. Minus the total fraud including illegals and convicts voting in America, Hillary would not only have lost the popular vote by at least 2.5% but also several other states as well like Virginia. Democrats count on at least 2% to 3% fraud built into the vote in every Presidential election cycle. Iraq and Afghanistan have fairer elections than America since at least there the person’s thumb is dipped in purple dye after they vote meaning they can only vote once unless they cut off their thumb.

My recollection is that the State certifications, in general, take days to weeks to certify an election. Here are the key dates in the Election process.

https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/electoral-college/key-dates.html

Mid-November through December 19, 2016

After the presidential election, the governor of your state prepares seven Certificates of Ascertainment. “As soon as practicable,” after the election results in your state are certified, the governor sends one of the Certificates of Ascertainment to the Archivist.

Certificates of Ascertainment should be sent to the Archivist no later than the meeting of the electors in December. However, federal law sets no penalty for missing the deadline.

The remaining six Certificates of Ascertainment are held for use at the meeting of the Electors in December.

December 13, 2016

States must make final decisions in any controversies over the appointment of their electors at least six days before the meeting of the Electors. This is so their electoral votes will be presumed valid when presented to Congress.

Decisions by states’ courts are conclusive, if decided under laws enacted before Election Day.

December 19, 2016

The Electors meet in their state and vote for President and Vice President on separate ballots. The electors record their votes on six “Certificates of Vote,” which are paired with the six remaining Certificates of Ascertainment.

The electors sign, seal, and certify six sets of electoral votes. A set of electoral votes consists of one Certificate of Ascertainment and one Certificate of Vote. These are distributed immediately as follows:

one set to the President of the Senate (the Vice President) for the official count of the electoral votes in January;
two packages to the Secretary of State in the state where the electors met—one is an archival set that becomes part of the public record of the Secretary of State's office and the other is a reserve set that is subject to the call of the President of the Senate to replace missing or incomplete electoral votes;
two packages to the Archivist—one is an archival set that becomes part of the permanent collection at the National Archives and Records Administration and the other is a reserve set that is subject to the call of the President of the Senate to replace missing or incomplete electoral votes; and
one set to the presiding judge in the district where the Electors met—this is also a reserve set that is subject to the call of the President of the Senate to replace missing or incomplete electoral votes.
December 28, 2016

Electoral votes (the Certificates of Vote) must be received by the President of the Senate and the Archivist no later than nine days after the meeting of the electors. States face no legal penalty for failure to comply.

If votes are lost or delayed, the Archivist may take extraordinary measures to retrieve duplicate originals.

On or Before January 3, 2017

The Archivist and/or representatives from the Office of the Federal Register meet with the Secretary of the Senate and the Clerk of the House in late December or early January. This is, in part, a ceremonial occasion. Informal meetings may take place earlier.

January 6, 2017

The Congress meets in joint session to count the electoral votes. Congress may pass a law to change this date.
The Vice President, as President of the Senate, presides over the count and announces the results of the Electoral College vote. The President of the Senate then declares which persons, if any, have been elected President and Vice President of the United States.

If a State submits conflicting sets of electoral votes to Congress, the two Houses acting concurrently may accept or reject the votes. If they do not concur, the votes of the electors certified by the Governor of the State on the Certificate of Ascertainment would be counted in Congress.

If no Presidential candidate wins 270 or more electoral votes, a majority, the 12th Amendment to the Constitution provides for the House of Representatives to decide the Presidential election. If necessary the House would elect the President by majority vote, choosing from the three candidates who received the greatest number of electoral votes. The vote would be taken by state, with each state having one vote.

If no Vice Presidential candidate wins 270 or more electoral votes, a majority, the 12th Amendment provides for the Senate to elect the Vice President. If necessary, the Senate would elect the Vice President by majority vote, choosing from the two candidates who received the greatest number of electoral votes. The vote would be taken by state, with each Senator having one vote.

If any objections to the Electoral College vote are made, they must be submitted in writing and be signed by at least one member of the House and one Senator. If objections are presented, the House and Senate withdraw to their respective chambers to consider their merits under procedures set out in federal law.

January 20, 2017 at Noon—Inauguration Day

The President-elect takes the Oath of Office and becomes the President of the United States.

General Authority

The Archivist of the United States, as the head of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), is responsible for carrying out ministerial duties on behalf of the States and the Congress under 3 U.S.C. sections 6, 11, 12, and 13.

If we had purple thumb elections there would be many protesters who couldn’t carry signs.

The Dems/Clinton took this loss waaaaaay too calmly and capitulatory. I’m convinced that they have something up their sleeves.

When will we learn to NEVER trust a democrat?

They didn’t want Hillary. They made the deal with her back in 2008 to get her to drop out against Obama, and they’ve regretted it since. They knew she was a loser.

They want the Clintons gone as bad as we want the Bushes gone.

I am trying not to accept the fact that you could be right. But then again those in the know see the real Hillary, maybe she’s just that unhinged and naked evil, enough for them to accept a Trump presidency, at least for 4 years until they can cook up something better.

No chads in MI. They use optical scan ballots.

that’s not official; it’s just Detroit radio station referring to OTHER non-official data. Michigan SoS hasn’t called it yet. They’re still “canvassing” the votes as required by state law and have said SoS will officially call the election at the end of the month when the canvassing is complete.

LOL...or the equivalent. Our Secretary of State is a Republican, so is our governor and legislature. Much of our state votes with the cards like the old tests we used to take, not by touch screen computer. I had to show photo ID in my small town.

The Evil One's friend's company did make the computer type that they use in the large cities(Soros).

Absentee ballots not counted yet, would only be counted if vote was closer.

They’re not going to declared the winner until they find enough fake votes to call it for the beast!!! This smells to high heaven!! I think trump was up by 13,000 votes...small peanuts and can easily be surpassed by fraudulent votes!! They have until the 20th of this month to officially call it!

I must have heard wrong. Just checked,yes they are counted. Gosh, there are so many rumors. I have no idea who told me that.

Are absent voter ballots always counted?

From SoS Site: Yes. Absent voter ballots simply allow voters who are eligible to cast ballots prior to Election Day. They are counted on Election Day along with all ballots voted at the polls.
