Why does everything always have to escalate to to “x” or “y” is going to start a war? It is a recount...no big deal. There are provisions in place that allow for a recount to happen automatically, and provisions that allow for a candidate to ask for a recount. Whether that occurs or not is up to the laws in place. Many people assume that a recount is going to change the outcome...well, if it was a one or two vote difference, maybe. But it’s not...it is 20,000 votes. A recount, if legally provided for, will not net one side all the votes. Votes will be found and/or reduced on all sides. And the “going to start Civil War II” BS is getting just as old as “Trump is a racist”... I don’t disagree that there is an element, especially in the left, that wants strife an anarchy, but it is not the majority. It’s politics. Trump won...it’s over. Yes, there are some on the left that will continue to beat the drum way after inauguration, but so be it. It will not change anything. Sometimes we sound no different than the DU.
Several years ago there was an election here where the conservative was leading by well over 1000 votes with just one polling station's boxes to count. The conservative lost the election by nearly 1000 votes. The station had only 2300 registered voters.
Things that make you go HMMM.
