Up to the minute updates of various Wisc. recount counties.
Well, you’re a good excel person. I didn’t want to @sum my way around Milwaukee.
And yeah, human error honestly made will go in both directions. These workers are retirees who wanted something to do for $50/day pay. They got no dog in the fight, most likely.
The Pennsylvania totals that went to Hillary were the absentee and provisional ballots. They had those and knew the exact number outstanding on election night. When the call for trump was made(70k vote lead) they had already figured in that there were not enough ballots outstanding to change the outcome.
Philly is full of fraud. We all know this. But the 22k the witch received this week are on the up and up.
Every time mention is made of Milwaukee I cant help but think of Alice Cooper in ‘Wayne’s World’

If they knew of these votes on election day then DT lead should have matched these numbers vs the 70,000 number settled in for 4 weeks. They are within 0.03% to a recount minus the courts no way they will miss the magic number. I say over the weekend.
No idea what that means, but as of so far, the recount looks like it might yield a change from the election day lead of perhaps 70 votes, and in favor of Trump.
Meaning, add 70 votes to the 22,000 vote lead.
Still early tho. Only 11.3% recounted. Some of this recount data we have in is from heavily Clinton areas and it looks honest so far. There is no sign of anything absurd.
No. They knew the amount of ballots that needed to be counted. They didn’t know who they were for. The absentee and provisional ballots must be verified before they can be added to the total. If the number of ballots are not sufficient to change the election outcome, they wait to count them until they have been verified legitimate, legal votes.
Trump was up by 70k election night. They knew that 28k outstanding votes would not have changed the outcome.
You must have smarter voters than we do. During the 2012 election we had people trying to vote for 6 presidential candidates at the same time, and they refused to believe they weren’t allowed to do that.
I didn’t work in that room this year, but from the stories, it was the same deal.
I’d rather not have to look at the ballot, but when the voter is screaming that the machine is racist, and the line is backing up behind them, at some point you have to know WHY the ballot was rejected, and the voter refuses to believe they did anything wrong. Sending them to remake the ballot just means they vote for 6 different presidents again.
WAY to dangerous to let this go. Three weeks ago they are in effect saying; look DT is leading by 1.1%. So not to worry, the the 28k will only drop HRC from down 1.1% to down 0.8%. NO WHERE NEAR, the 0.5% that triggers auto recount. THAT, is WAY to close; esp when apparently PA law allows these to hit. In summ on Thur afternoon it took 28,000 votes to drop from 1.1% deficit to 0.8% deficit. ANOTHER 28,000 then hits the magic 0.5% ... and the screaming starts; no judges needed, we be entitled to a recount. At that point PA is lost.
I agree Trump and his legal team need to keep eye on Pennsylvania. But they’re (rats) not going to get the vote under 30k, and into the automatic recount trigger margin, no matter what happens.
Democrats excel at getting thousands of fraudulent votes in on Election Day. They’re not going to do be able to sneak in that many now.
I’d bet good money the court rejects her request on Monday.
“22,000 out of thin air” where did that news come from?
Jander Research ( https://janderresearch.blogspot.com/ ) is on this even talking today for 15 min with Trump team. I'm impress with her work. She says: "...Therefore, all recounts currently being considered, and currently ongoing, in Pennsylvania, are strictly barred and completely illegal.
And the fact that nobody on Donald Trump's legal team, or the legal team for the Republican party, has made motions to quash all of these recount efforts in Pennsylvania is frightening.
I spoke with one of the members of Donald Trump's legal team yesterday for 16 minutes, and I am not impressed at all with their filed response to the election contest, or their failure to do anything to stop all of the recounts. That these recounts are taking place in Pennsylvania under their watch borders on malpractice, if not an outright revolution."
There’s an unofficial rule here, that any mention of AC requires that I be pinged.

FYI ppl, DU thread making an issue of more votes cast in Wisconsin towns then registered voters in that town.
One commenter pointed out that the registered voter count being used to draw that conclusion cannot be correct because Democrats got same day voter registration installed in Wisc.
So odds are pretty high the vote total exceeds the registration total because the same day registrants are not in that number.
Hand counting can be more accurate than machine counting because the well rested human eye and brain can determine results better than an optical scanner. For example if someone only fills in half of one of those little circles either because they are careless, or the lighting is poor (as it was in my polling place), or one has hands that shake from age or chill, the machine will probably reject.
In other states the absentee ballots were more for Hillary as they were often mailed before the new FBI statement came out.
No evidence it was anything but human error.
Ongoing recount restarts this morning. The spreadsheet discussed above makes clear that so far, with 11.3% of the vote recounted, there is no substantial variance from election night.
Some details of interest. In recounting absentee ballots it was noticed that two ballot envelopes failed to list an address for a witness. (Their absentee rules require an absentee voter to have two witnesses sign the envelope saying the voter is who he is and give their address). The envelopes were apparently no longer “connected” to ballots, so a decision was made to extract 2 ballots randomly from the pile and not count them. Pretty weird ruling.
This morning’s little time eating controversy is over a ballot on which Hillary was a write in, with Rubio written in as VP. The ballot was not counted Election Day, but the Clinton observers want it counted now in recount.
Yesterday was day 2 and 330K votes were recounted, 11.3% of the total vote. Day 1 was just getting underway and only about 3000 votes were counted. One would expect even more than 330K today. This rate WILL finish on time, but anyone can slow it down at any time. If they don’t, odds are pretty high there will be no substantial change to totals. So far these all look like honest people.
Conversation suggests he Hillary/Rubio vote WAS counted Election Day. Recount officials are saying this should not have happened. Decision pending.
Oooooh.
The problem is the vote was not with a /.
It was a write in for Hillary Rubio. As if Rubio is her last name.
Completely bizarre. I can see both sides.
This is all from the live video feed.
Decision is to accept the ballot for Hillary. There is a tiny inkmark that may be a hyphen between Hillary and Rubio.
They are declaring voter intent is for Hillary, and this is a strong Trump county with the decision from a local person. It sounds fair overall.
Both Trump and Clinton observers have praised the 1 hour spent on that one ballot trying to get it right.
