He would still have the majority of the EV of the remaining states.

It is sounding more and more to me like we might be seeing the end of the American electoral process

And that's another thought. They could be doing this to end the EC.

Maybe they will push the popular vote thing saying Hillary won that so she should be President. This whole thing is irritating me. I am having a hard time concentrating on m work because of these a holes.

they can all go to hell.

Half of me has been wondering if the act of basing himself out of Trump Tower was, in fact, preparation for this type of scenario.

Trump’s voters have more people and more guns than the US military.

The popular vote means nothing.

The President is the President of a Federal Government, not a National Government.

I think it is safe to say we will not complete a hand recount of paper ballots in time.

A state court hasn’t the authority.

“The Supreme Court’s initial unanimous decision in the 2000 election dispute vacated the Florida Supreme Court’s first decision for failing to take into account this doctrine prohibiting state constitutions from constricting state legislative directions about the appointment of presidential electors. Bush v. Palm Beach County Canvassing Board (2000).”
http://www.heritage.org/constitution/#!/articles/2/essays/79/presidential-electors

A federal court would be hard-pressed to do so considering precedent. I can’t imagine how they would, but I’m not a lawyer.

(And I did find the one time a state didn’t appoint electors- NY in 1789.)

The only way to do that is by Constitutional amendment, which will never happen.

If you don’t trust the Vote count, how can you trust the same people to do a recount?

It has already been shown that Trump got the majority of the legitimate popular vote.

My understanding is he can file for a stay with the Supreme Court because she does not have standing. I still think he needs to recount all the clos states that she won (confirming each vote was an eligible vote). Just my two cents.

My worse fear is HRC being underestimated. I also think BHO is 100% in agreement with his.

The Clintons have been scheming on this since election night. Remember Bill a few years ago acknowledging that Nixon had actually won the 1960 election but saying that it was so much better that JFK took office? That is how these people (and many of their lawyers and consultants) think. They will do what it takes to win. Remember the Iowa Caucuses? Bernie Sanders was slightly ahead; there were six precincts that were tied and decided by a coin flip, and with a normal coin toss, he would have gotten three and she would have gotten three, preserving his tiny lead, but the headlines would have been “Sanders Wins Iowa Caucuses”. Remember, she won ALL SIX coin flips, which is something like a 62-1 probability. Remember her winning bet on cattle futures, enormous funds with something like a 999-1 probability? Remember LBJ, whose political career started in the Texas Senate race; he was behind Coke Stephenson by 1000 votes; they “found” a bag with 1100 votes in it all of which voted for LBJ! I can imagine that they will contest Wisconsin, alleging that the pre-election polls put her ahead in the state by six and the exit polls showed her up by four, only to lose by one. They will allege hacking or some similar interference, and get some fool in a polling position to back up their claims. In Michigan, I am betting that Wayne County (Detroit) will find some 10,000 ballots, all for Hillary, that just must be counted (True the Vote) so that minority voters are not “disenfranchised”. The question mark is Pennsylvania - how do they steal 70,528 votes that they need to overtake Trump? The votes in PA are either paper ballots or old election machines, neither of which can be hacked. Virtually everyone of adult age in Philadelphia already voted (81 percent Hillary), so they would be hard pressed to scrape up the needed 70,000 there. I think Pennsylvania is the bulwark that they cannot get past and without it Trump still stands at 280 electoral votes, unless they can convince or intimidate 11 electors into not voting for him.

That’s how the clown, Al Franken, became the senator of MN...repeatedly recounting until they could manufacture enough ballots to elect him.

That's simply not true.

Franken was behind by several hundred votes after the votes were counted on Election Day, but the recount immediately put about 1,500 ballots in play that had initially been rejected for one reason or another. I believe most of them were examined and were counted in the final tally, which is what put Franken over the top by a few hundred votes.

The multiple "recounts" in that election did not involve continuously finding new ballots out of nowhere and adding them to the final totals. They were all iterations of the vote counts with those same 1,500 disputed votes.

There was plenty of evidence of voter fraud in that election, but it had nothing to do with the vote count. It was all related to questionable voter registrations and documented cases of felons voting.

A hand recount will not be done before the electors are to meet. Someone will have to take this to court and stop it or at least court mandate machine recount only!

We should all be applauding the possibility of a hand recount which can not possibly be completed in time. That means the electors will go to Trump and we win.

In fact, Trump's best strategy is to delay as much as possible. Dec 13 is coming up fast. Either the state loses its vote or it goes with the initial result of the election if the uncertainty is not resolved by then. In either case, we win.

agree! and looking at @Dr.JillStein Twitter thousands agree with us. She really did not help her cause by showing how idiotic she is about those who USED to support her. She lost a few today! What a loon.

Also if the Republicans are smart they will ask that Hillary and the Democratic party repute the words of J.Stein regarding Castro.

“Yep. They have something very dark up their sleeves”

They can definitely manufacture more than enough extra votes to flip all three states. More than likely they’re already laying on the floor in the vaults ready for a recount.

IMO, they want this to go to court where they’ll rule for satan’s daughter.

It feels like that at times, but try to stay hopeful yet. In my darkest hours I remembered how hard Trump was working and how much he was enduring, and that made me want to be strong in the midst of despair.

We have allies too, remember. Here in Michigan the GOP chair is a rock star and I trust her a great deal.

We're not alone in this. They are evil but evil doesn't always win.
