    As they said, "all available evidence". Trump cannot be constrained by the need for evidence while operating in the Twitterverse.

    Stein doesn't have standing. She doesn't stand to win the recount, and it at least appears she is a tool of the Clinton losing campaign (against the law). His petition to the court has merit.

    Really, what is the point? In Florida there was only a few hundred vote difference and we saw the clusterfuck that was.

    So what does Trump have to hide? If he's calling the recounts a farce, and as experts say the results won't change anything...why does he need to stop the recounts? Why not let Stein waste the money she raised and then have a laugh at her and the Democrats when the results come in the same....or maybe he has something to hide. Maybe he knows the results would be overturned....probanly not realistically...but Why is he so scared

    I have yet to see anyone, lefty or otherwise, who thinks the recounts will change the result.

    Makes you wonder why the Trumpsters are so up in arms about it, doesn't it?

    For someone who is so keen to point out he actually bothered to blow a vote on that bozo libertarian candidate who didn't know what Aleppo was, you seem strangely anxious to act entitled to gloat on behalf of the Trump voters.

    Tell us again, Denny, why DIDN'T you vote for our glorious leader-in-waiting? How has he won you over now? Maybe you like him because you're pretty certain he doesn't know what "a leppo" is either?

    Not really. Lawyering is what lawyers do. If you can take even a .001% chance of a bad result down to 0% by winning an appeal, that's a smart play.

    Kind of depends on the cost, doesn't it?

    Hillary forgot that she wasn't actually shot at by snipers in Bosnia. Obama forgot there were only 50 states. Trump had no friggin' clue what the nuclear triad was. If you run for office, you're going to make some screwups.

    What do you mean? I'm sure that the GOP has plenty of suits on retainer for this crap, just like the Dems do.

    He hasn't won me over. I'm judging him on what he actually does. So far, few complaints. But he's not the president yet, with all the power and congressional support, too.

    What I am sure is that your twitter feed is overflowing with a bunch of crying babies.

    I highly doubt this recount changes things at all. What it is doing though is shedding light on the fact that a lot of the voting machines can be easily manipulated and are prone to errors. I'v never been a fan of the voting machines and I like the fact people are now becoming more aware of the problems that arise from them using them.

    Wisconsin Recount Officials Just Found Five Counting Machines With Tampered Seals

    Despite the best efforts of President-elect Donald Trump and his nefarious brand of twisted politics to prevent a recount in Wisconsin it is in full swing. Those who are observing the recount on behalf of Jill Stein, who requested the recount, have presented evidence to show the votes were indeed tampered with.

    An individual, who is known only as “Wendy” has been on the ground in St. Croix County in Wisconsin. That county is performing both a recount of the machines used, and of all ballots which were cast by hand. As was shared by Wendy, she observed that five seals were broken on nine voting machines.The evidence which has been posted on Jill Stein’s official website shows that seals were indeed broken. The seals themselves come with a warning that “removal of seal voids warranty.”
