Neither party has any high ground to hold when complaining about the other guys making up wild cheating conspiracies.

To the Republicans....to quote the republicans of 2016...."if you want to blame anyone blame your choice of an awful candidate".
Yes, yes and yes.

Plus so many other things "You didn't build that", "I can see Russia from my house", "Very fine people on both sides" and on and on. Proving Mark Twain was right all along.

Most times when there is a recount they find more votes for the person who is ahead.

Amazing how the only way people think Trump can lose is by fraud. You guys do realize that it’s possible for the other guy to win. It’s like Donny doesn’t know how to take an L.

With that said, have a little dignity Hillary. Go re-read the threads from 4 years ago and watch the Democrats screaming that they were cheated
Hillary did not ask for re-counts 2016, even thought Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin were won by a very thin margin. It was the Green Party who wanted re-counts.

Isn't it premature to demand re-counts, when they haven't finished the initial counts, and both candidates are still in it? Trump can still win (GA and PA are pretty much in the bag), so why is he crying?

It's all fun in games with they can blame it all on Trump. When he's gone, BLM dies.
You still think they are taking orders from the outside? BLM is not gone, they will be back if there is another Floyd-like incident, and it won't matter who is in the WH. Besides, they didn't blame Floyd, etc on Trump in the first place. They have their own agenda.

Like Ferguson? Sure looked like the same version.

I voted for Biden and live in Wisconsin. I’m fine with a recount as long as the locals don’t have to pay for it. Let the truth be known. Good luck coming up with that 20,600 difference in votes though or whatever the number is now, as Scott Walker said.

A recount is perfectly fine if justified by and conducted according to state law, with independent monitors from both parties present of course.

The only way that such a difference can be made up through a recount is if there was massive, intentional fraud committed during the election and then discovered during the recount. This is exactly what is suspected to have happened.

In Wisconsin, if the margin of difference is less than 0.25% (which it is not in this election) the state pays for it. In this case, the losing candidate can call for a recount, and it will be conducted, but that candidate must pay for it. Basically - they can do a recount, but Trump has to foot the bill.

This is so pathetic. Trump is such a dick. I guess everything was fine with the states he won, but something must be wrong with the states he loses. And the "I was leading and now I'm not" shows how stupid he is, as if he doesn't get that it changes when counties are tallied and potentially the blue counties got counted last. But hell, let him be his divisive self that no Trump supporter will admit he is.

I’m confused. I clicked your link and found this message:

“This tweet was taken and share honestly. I have now learned the MI update referenced was a typo in one county.

I have deleted the original tweet.”
