And it seems to you that poll watchers wouldn't have caught that, if it happened, and filed a protest?
Seems like just conspiracy theorists on the internet noticed this, if it happened?
rkc, if this happened, rest assured it will be investigated and dealt with appropriately.
It is not at all clear what a poll watcher do. If they asked me to "watch the poles" I wouldn't know what to do. Do I check the machines, inspect postmarks, validate signatures. Just standing around does not make a poll watcher.
Recounts rarely matter, especially with 20,000 vote leads. Jill Stein got a (free) recount in 2016 in WI. It made a difference of about 160 votes as I recall. Biden will win WI.
It’s less than a 1% margin, so it’s up to him to contest Wisconsin. Michigan, let’s see. Biden almost has a 1% lead, and if he crosses the 1% line before counting is closed, a recount can’t be requested.
There's been a handful of recounts in Wisconsin in the past... Never has a recount shifted the numbers by more than a few hundred votes. Gaining more than 20,000 is unlikely.
That being said, exercising the right of a recount still makes sense. It will likely confirm the legitimacy which is a good thing.
