Can Milwaukee Co pull what PA Philly did i.e. go up 22,000 votes to HRC? Is there enough there for +12,000. After a day for analysis on twitter it is suggesting based on patterns there PA wasn’t stuffing more votes in but forging replacement ballots to the origionals in the absentee area. So..its the way to shift vote counts without increasing vote counts of ‘found’ ballots
No. The AP and other news organizations that call the states know on election night exactly how many absentee and provisional ballots are outstanding and have to be verified before being counted.
There are not enough absentee and provisional ballots out there to change Wisconsin results. If there were, the state would not have been called.
Trump will win Wisconsin again. Almost 40% in and the count is essentially the same. It’s over.
No because WI counted all their Absentee votes when they finalized last week or so. Philadelphia hadn’t finished tallying absentee so that is why the change.
1) PA didn’t pull anything. The absentees in PA by law don’t even have to arrive for several days after Election Day. The additional numbers that came in were always there, not pulled out of thin air, not manufactured, nothing of that sort. They just arrived later, within the law.
The slowness calling PA was because of this. The total number of ballots that had been mailed out to voters was known. Only when the lead was too large to be undone by the number outstanding could it be called.
2) There is no sign in Wisconsin of anything ugly going on. Even Hillary heavy recount venues are showing variance from election day of only a few votes here and there. These seem to be honest people to date.
3) The recount in WI should be just about 50% done with tonight’s spreadsheet. That would be 1.5ish million votes recounted. Variance from election day, a few 10s of votes.
