If it was that easy to drop states out of the Electoral College voting, we would have had 0 electoral votes cast in every presidential election for the last 150 years (if not longer). The major political parties wouldn't even bother running presidential campaigns, and instead they'd spend all of the money they raise on legal challenges in every state.
They have democrats involved in a hand recount in WI and MI. Both have been announced.
They have a hand recount going in both MI & WI. Both have been reported. Both have democrats and the media involved. I remember Florida.
If we cannot prevent this same thing in PA, then that truly does put the requisite amount of electors at risk of shenanigans.
Some day people will learn not to trust liberals.
They have already found 20 THOUSAND votes in PA. A lot of folks said there is no way they will find enough votes. Way. They don’t care about anything but power.
ALL Michigan citizens should be pissed off.
Yes. See my new post. They will TRY, and as Wellington said of Napoleon, “They keep coming on in the same old way and we’ll have to meet them in the same old way.”
Read what that board member said again.
ANYONE WITH AN ALLEGATION WHO PAYS THE FEE GETS A RECOUNT.
It is now possible to tie-up EVERY Michigan election based on ANY sort of spurious allegation. So long as you have the money.
The elections in both states have already been certified, and the states have no obligation to change the results under some stupid "recount."
Trump or groups supporting Trump have filed lawsuits in all three states. Let’s see what happens next.
You can be the guy who trusts the process, and I’ll be the guy who doesn’t. They probably need both of us.
IOW, some @$$ with an agenda and deep pockets can disenfranchise an entire state's worth of voters in a presidential election.
That should NEVER be the case.
They should be required to show just cause for the recount request. More than just not liking the outcome of the election.
“Might as well take MI out of the Trump column”
Do you people ever stop being acting like losers?
When they are doing recounts and the recounts always seem to go to one party, that should be a red flag.
“Donald Trump better get all over this. He blew Wisconsin off.”
Blew it off?
“They’ve picked off both Wisconsin and Michigan. “
Dude, what in the hell are you even talking about?
For a 1% candidate??
Of course, but the problem for them is that this election has punched a whole lot of additional holes in the credibility of the media. Almost no one besides the most fervent leftists believe the media isn't biased.
The media surprisingly hasn’t been that terrible concerning the recounts...so far. They are mostly noting the fact that she has no reason to call for these recounts, and if they do proceed there is almost no chance for the outcome to change.
They should however be calling out Hillary’s hypocrisy on the issue though.
“...There would be a run on kevlar vests...”
Maybe. But there would definitely be a run on dead Libs...by the thousands, if not millions. People have had enough of their communist tactics and BS.
That’s good to know. Next time the GOP candidate runs with $800,000,000 we should hold back ~$300,000,000 to contest every state that the dem wins since any allegation should be worthy of a recount. Seems like a great plan with so many states in GOP control. Oh and let’s do 20-30 states all on the day of their deadlines.
