ELECTION COULD STILL RESULT IN TRUMP-CLINTON TIE: ANALYST
Newsweek ^

Posted on 11/10/2016 3:52:01 PM PST by Mean Daddy

Updated | As of Thursday, three states remain electoral toss-ups, according to Associated Press projections: New Hampshire, Michigan and Arizona. If Hillary Clinton wins the combined 31 electoral votes from those states, she will still be short of Donald Trump’s 279 votes, more than the 270 needed to win the presidency.

However, AP analyst Michael McDonald, who teaches political science at the University of Florida and runs the United States Elections Project, an election statistics website, says he is skeptical that Trump won Wisconsin, as the AP projected. If that state flips for Clinton and she wins the other toss-up states, she and Trump could be in a tie at 269 votes each.

Not one state was close enough for an automatic recount.

Not sure if a recount can be requested and paid for just because they think there is voter fraud or a miscount.

Hillary lost and she knows it. She still has a big bag of cash left from the election and now that her money spigot has been turned off forever she wants to keep every penny that is left.

She will not pay for any recounts.

They just have nothing else to hang their hats on now than a phony claim that the election was somehow "stolen" from them, ala 2000. Expect to hear this, just as we did then, for the next several years.

Leftists live in a fact-proof bubble constructed of lies. It should therefore be no surprise that they try to soothe their wounds by dressing them with more lies.

Gees, do people hear themselves. If that were so do you think Clinton would have conceded? Not a chance. Just like a friend on FB who claims Trump could end up in jail due to fraud charges. If that were so, Hillary would have used that in her campaign.

Early ballots are already counted. Provisional ballots need to be ruled legal or else they aren’t counted.

Early ballots are already counted. Provisional ballots need to be ruled legal or else they aren’t counted.

"Meanwhile, the number of ballots that, as of Wednesday, had not been counted, such as early and provisional ballots, was 627,000, the secretary of state’s office tells Newsweek. “There’s enough uncertainty there that Clinton could possibly overtake Trump,” McDonald says."

It would seem that, as of Wednesday, 627,000 ballots were still outstanding. Perhaps they were counted today.

newsflash to the moron Michael McDonald of some school in Gainesville: Trump DID win Wisconsin, despite your doubts. And he won Arizona, too.

And the SOS of Michigan says it is unlikely Hitlery will get more votes.

Game over.

NewsWeak is the very first publication that must be utterly destroyed.

I think it's destroying itself.

Well, that certainly ‘splains a lot now. I got my MA from the U of Florida many years ago...long before the SJWs took over. More “objective analysis” from the Keeper of the Flame!

Then it is decided in the house. Trump still wins.

Maybe not. RINO Paul Ryan will lead the fight for Hillary.
