Hillary Clinton could still win the presidency

[Washington Resistance Army]

I really don't see a recount doing much of anything, but more power to them I guess.

As a candidate Stein has the legal right to ask for a recount.

Sure, I just don't see the result changing. Especially not enough to influence the election.

[Aclion]

It's not a huge expense in the grand scheme of things

But just think of all the squirrels that could have been saved with all that money.

[San Lumen]

There wouldnt be civil war. Refusing to verify the electoral college because it did its job would spark a constitutional crisis. If you dont verify the electoral college you have no President. You'd have to declare the electoral college result invalid and then each state can only have a single vote and with the polarization in Congress I have severe doubts they'd ever be able to pick a winner.

But they'll never pick Hillary Clinton.

Then who would they pick? They are only allowed to pick from the candidates who ran.

The reason she's raising money is that A) the margin is close enough to justify a recount, and B) there's suspicion that electronic voting machines could have been tampered with in those three states.

Regardless of who you supported for president, I fail to see why anyone would oppose counting again. It doesn't cost you, personally, anything, and the integrity of our elections is the most important thing by far.

[tinfoilhat] Well, see George Soros will pay an army of goons to make fake ballots and stuff the boxes with them, now that they know how many they need to fake.[/tinfoilhat]

Though, the reasoning is rather suspect given IIRC MI had all paper ballots.

Well thats a shit reason all in all, considering he won by tens of thousands in the states.

And she won by millions nationally.
The recount is only in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin I believe, all of which Trump only won by one point or less.

There is no national vote. This is why it's illegal for a Maryland resident to vote in Wisconsin.

this recount won't do anything, if anything it will expose Hillary and the 3 Million illegals who voted for her.

Urban areas in Michigan had paper ballots. Rural areas had electronic. It varies from county to county.

Complete and utter rubbish.

[Stormaen]

I doubt very much that it will happen.

The EC will meet on December 19th. We'll leave this thread in place, barring a descent into madeness, until then.

It this craziest of election years never say never.

The craziest of election years was probably 1824. The winner (John Q. Adams) didn't have a majority of either the electoral or popular votes and barely scraped a majority in the House election.

He's probably right that it won't do anything.

"Live in less than 10% of this wide diverse country"
Most of our population lives in cities, which also are typically the most diverse areas of the country. Rocks and trees don't have feelings about the election, and living next to them doesn't make someone better than someone who lives in The Capitol an urban environment.

i Agree completely plus I believe there was fraud in several states including Pennsylvania, Florida, Michigan, Wisconsin and North Carolina. How does the governor lose in North Carolina but the incumbent senator wins and Trump wins the state? In Florida how do you go from a nearly insurmountable lead in early vote to a narrow loss? It just doesnt add up.

Before elections: "Trump is insane if he thinks there can be fraud"
After elections: "There was a fraud clearly"

Gosh, people like you are fun. Not to forget kids, ruined middle eastern countries are less important than Bruce Jenner peeing where he wants to (all tho, that is a bad example since Trump said trans people should chose their bathrooms according to their will).

And it was completely legal. No one had a electoral college majority so the election was thrown into the House just like it would perfectly legal of for the electoral college to overturn the result.

Except they're not going to do that and Trump will be president :^)

Oh I'm not saying what they did was illegal, it was perfectly constitutional. I'm just saying that 1824 was crazier than 2016... And that's saying something!

I think this year and 1824 are equally crazy. The electoral college has a chance to actually do what it was designed for.

Because of high Republican turnout opposed to lower democrat turnout. US elections are based on turnout from party supporters and in swing states independents will tip it, and this Democrats turned out in waves in states they would've won anyway, but didn't turnout as much in states they had a chance.

Infowars is almost universally regarded as a bullshit source. It is, after all, run by a man who believes the government puts chemicals in fruit juice to make children gay, and that Hillary Clinton is possessed by demons.

I have seen people say how Hillary is better, because she is a safer option for the LGB and the rest of such, while knowing she supports the terrorists in Syria, is supported by the Saudis and so on.

He's calling you a hypocrite, and following up by suggesting you care more about where people pee then the lives of brown people.

Hasn't Trump toned himself down since the election?

Can you prove any of that is false though? I mean have you seen Hillary?
