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 Trumps win downward by thousands of votes each. And now Pennsylvania has shrunk the size of Trumps win by tens of thousands of votes.
Its 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 Trumps lead in the state ahead of the recount.
Heres 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 Trumps 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 Clintons direction in Pennsylvania is coming before the recount, based on precincts making their own revisions. Its notable that all three states in question have now revised their totals sharply in Clintons 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 Trumps favor, which have now been corrected. How many more such errors will the recounts uncover?
Fake news by msm.
How convenient to find 27,000 votes 3 Weeks after the election.
Not 1 week, not 2 weeks but 3 WEEKs after the election.
Philly fraud at its best.
However true that might be, they believe they would win with no casualties just as firmly as they believed that Hillary would be swept into office.
That is what makes them beatable!!
Trump has very expensive election law attorneys babysitting this foolishness, freeing the future president to do grown up stuff.
If Trump isn’t concerning himself with this idiocy, I’m certainly not going to lose sleep over it. I’m busy trying to find an inaugural ball to attend locally.

Philly finished up on Wednesday.
Are you trying to starve Jim Hoft? Gateway Pundit would have no readers if they had to rely on facts in context.
Philadelphia: Home of 120% Democrat voters
“Rim County Gazzette”? Believe me, if this were true then CNN would be trumpeting it 24/7 with a screen crawl at the bottom.
“”Overturning the election at this point would not result in protest.... The result would be all out civil war.”
And the Demoncrats wouldn’t want this to happen because?”
Because they would lose.
Agreed fully. They appear to not be aware of the grave risk they’re running
That is not out of the realm of possibilities.
here might be the real story not the #fakenews but you decide.

Nice weekend to clean and oil my..... Just in case.
Democrats ‘eat their own’ when they lose elections. All this election-recount business just postpones the recriminations that will come when they wake up with the post-election hangover. It’s going to be ugly for Bill & Hillary. Throw in the fact that the FBI investigation into the Clinton Foundation will be allowed to continue under the Trump administration... In a Media environment where there will be no reason to defend the Clinton’s anymore.
I don’t believe ANYTHING ANY “journalist” says EVER!
From my understanding when they called PA for Trump he was leading by 76K votes. They could call it because they knew there was less than 76K votes in absentee ballots.
***********************************************************
Correct except he was leading by 68,000 votes and then 70,000. After the provisional and absentee ballots which were already know but not yet counted the total margin dropped to 46,000 (Philly only) there were a few districts outside Philly which also finished up and since PA is fairly conservative outside Philly the total went back to about 49,000 where it is now.
There are not enough absentee or provisional ballots left to count to alter the results.This according to a PA voting official.
This has been reported numerous times. Why are you AGAIN reporting it?
