People Urging a Vote Recount in Pa. “In Denial,” Says Local Election Attorney

Computer scientists and election lawyers are asking the Hillary Clinton campaign to recount election votes in three states, including Pennsylvania, New York Magazine reported last night.

On top of that, Democratic election law attorney Adam Bonin said that those who are asking for a vote recount just might not be paying enough attention.

Election Day returns are unofficial counts. The actual counting of votes started three days after the election, and it’s “a rigorous and public process,” Bonin said, which people can observe with their own eyes at their county’s Board of Elections. “Every machine tape is looked at, every paper ballot is examined — and if there is any ambiguity, any discrepancies, that gets looked at, and that gets corrected,” Bonin said. “It is usually very boring process.”

Bonin believes many people are just looking for a path that doesn’t result in Trump as president. But more people would have faith in the process if they actually watched it, he said.

“If there were any real question, I and every Democratic election law attorney in the state would be convening teams to go to every county and every table in the commonwealth to find out what happened here,” Bonin said.

I find it hard to imagine how Russia could "hack" any of this process. The voting machines aren't connected to the internet.

Reality isn't the Democrats strong suit.

I thought recounts were done if the election was really close - not when they want different results, yes?

I agree with you. Read Oathkeepers are working on getting recounts/audits in counties in VA, NV, AZ,

Why is it in every recount it’s always and only the Dems that gain votes? Hmmmm?
