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 Trump’s “win” downward by thousands of votes each. And now Pennsylvania has shrunk the size of Trump’s win by tens of thousands of votes.
It’s 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 Trump’s lead in the state ahead of the recount.
Here’s 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 Trump’s 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 Clinton’s direction in Pennsylvania is coming before the recount, based on precincts making their own revisions. It’s notable that all three states in question have now revised their totals sharply in Clinton’s 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 Trump’s favor, which have now been corrected. How many more such errors will the recounts uncover?
Of course.

Exactly correct v
Stood up in broad daylight and told everyone in the world that if they voted in the election that made them citizens of the US.We really do need to find a way to embarrass the Democrat Party (yeah, right - they have no shame) over that. Trump should bring up the issue - without referencing Obama’s statement explicitly - in the 2018 State of the Union address. Too soon to whine about it after this election. But if you could True the Vote in some states with Republican legislatures in time for Nov’18 . . .
The other thing to be disposed of is a consent decree which was rammed down the Republicans’ throats a generation or so ago, which prohibits Republicans from complaining about vote fraud because, "racism."
That’s a fake news site. They made those numbers up and they have no basis in reality. Don’t even give them the clicks.
In order to assure the margin of victory surpasses the recount threshold of .5% I believe ALL ballots in PA will be counted due too the closeness of the race. This bodes well for Trump because the military is overwhelmingly Rep voters.
That man did NOT go $100,000,000 out of pocket to be cheated out of it by grifters the likes of Stein and Clinton.
FR members would be well advised to put a little more faith in our new President and spend a lot less time helping to clutch the pearls of internet click bait artists.

Very convincing ID can be purchased any day for around $150 but some sellers are unhappy when state started issuing driver licenses to all including illegal aliens. State is muscling in on the ID documents business. Except for the ridiculously long lines at the motor vehicle bureau, the private vendors’ business would be hurt a lot worse.
Florida taught me all I need to know about democrat recounts. Those who don’t understand their intent to steal are naive. Those who paint a rosey, or a who-cares picture are naive. The only ones who are aware are those calling for total resistance and immediate response.
We were the voice of the people throughout the campaign. We should be that same warrior support during the transition. Now is not the time to be silent.
And some of them may be slated to be suicided if the Dems don’t win, or else leave the country hurriedly.
Why is it that the commie RAT always comes out the big winner during these so called “recounts”. RATs doing the counting I guess.
Why not do some proper research before posting this incomplete and slanted crap?
Why didn’t you mention WHY the totals changed? You insinuate some Clinton votes were added and the ballots were somehow “discovered” or there was an error when in fact the existence of these mail in and provisional ballots was known all along.
You are a fraud.
Meanwhile go here and get an education.

Hellary has had a busy 3 weeks filling out new ballots.
Lotsa folks in 1859 were just sure it would never come to brother fighting brother . . .
NEWLY....VOTES found in CAR TRUNKS!!!! DEMOCRATS CHEAT...they have PERFECTED VOTE FRAUD!!!
The silent majority only impacts when it gets active.
Other than that “silent” is no more than silence.
So it stands to reason they would probably have a somewhat proportional advantage in provisional ballots cast. USUALLY. Obviously this was an unusual year.>>>> yes there were an amazing number of idiots that moved into my neighborhood buying $500K houses and can’t figure out how to register and vote. it was bedlam at my voting place this year.
Remember Stalin saod, “it’s not who votes, but who counts the votes,
Being an older fella, what energy I have may well be needed in the unlikely event it all goes pear shaped.
Every man is the militia, and that's all I have to say on the matter, FRiend.
