2016 vote recount?
November 28, 2016 at 11:34 am
It started here, with Trump lying in a tweet:
Quote:In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally
And then, "there was a movement for a recount in the states of Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania."
Clinton joined the vote recount.
Quote:Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton’s truce and efforts to “come together” after their bitter White House race appeared to fray this weekend when Clinton joined in a vote recount effort that the President-elect assailed in a series of Tweets Sunday.
And of course, "Donald Trump is making a strong case for a recount of his own 2016 election win."
Quote:On Sunday morning, President-elect Donald Trump assured us all that a recount of the 2016 election wouldn't change the outcome and was a waste of resources.

Well, it might change the outcome. Of course, the pope might also convert to Mormonism.

I hope that Lily Tomlin is in charge.

wish they would stop replaying Hillary footage where she is decrying Trump not accepting election results as she is now not accepting election results
(although it is nice to have gone a couple weeks with nary a mention of the fucking email server)
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

It would be really nice if things changed and he wasn't going to be president but I have no hope or expectations for that.

Both Clinton and Stein have said they aren't challenging the results, but attempting to boost voter confidence in the outcome, which is probably true, as the chances of changing the outcome are slim to none. They have also both said there is no evidence of voter fraud, again, this is just to quiet the public outcry. Trump is the only one claiming that there were million of illegal votes cast.
But hey, when does the news ever report the truth when a juicy headline gets more views?

it would be nice if things are just reported and same criteria are used to evaluate each report
Trump not accepting results = bad
Hillary doing the same = good
I don't need the fucking media adding their $0.02, I can figure out the good and bad angle all by myself.
And I have enormous incentive to do so: avoid fucking repeating the fucking crap that got Trump fucking elected in the first fucking place.

There were three counties in WI where Trump got more votes than there were registered voters. That's a good enough reason for a recount. And a serious investigation of whether it was a glitch or successful vote tampering.
