Forums - Politics - Trump ended up expanding his win in Wisconsin by 131 votes s after the recount

President-elect Donald Trump expanded his win by 131 votes in Wisconsin after a recount was requested and conducted in the state.

State officials had always expected a recount to uphold Trump's surprise win in the Badger State. Jill Stein, the Green Party presidential nominee, filed a request for a recount over unsupported concerns that hackers meddled with the results.

Black Yeezy fleeced the votes from the Russians.

No refunds!

 



This was nothing more than a waste of money... no recount has covered a gap even half that size, there was never actual evidence of "hacking", and the voter pattern was not actually unexpected for people who really track these things, such as the people at fivethirtyeight.

Btw, if you're curious about why the article (written by Nate Silver) says he supports the audit, it's merely because he always wants more data lol

But we did get something out of the recount: The knowledge that the system works. Hopefully this will quell shrieks (from both camps) about voter fraud, not only this election but in future elections as well.

Lol right, people will stop crying foul. I can see that happening!

Seriously, the party that is constantly pointing out that voter fraud is a non-issue claims things were rigged the moment they lose, and the winning side continues to say there's voter fraud anyway.

Haha, I guess when you put it like that it does seem like a lost fight.



People donated money for the hope that they could flip the state to Clinton. Let me ask you Stein, why didn't we see recounts in New Hampshire or Minnesota or Nevada? I mean those where all close states too, so why not? Was it because Trump lost those states? She tricked Hillary voters into essentially giving free money to her party. #Scam



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

good thing we wasted three million over that! Not like it could've been donated to somewhere else more useful...

12/22/2016- Made a bet with Ganoncrotch that the first 6 months of 2017 will be worse than 2016. A poll will be made to determine the winner. Loser has to take a picture of them imitating their profile picture.

A recount does not help with voter fraud.

All a recount does is prove the the numbers were basically correct. It doesn't catch if someone votes twice or more than once. It does not catch if ballots were thrown away instead of put through the machine, or coutned by hand. It does not catch if illegals, felons or underage people voted. Ect. I mean look at Michigan. They had to quit the recount because of rules when they found descrepancies. They woudl find things like, there were 1,000 votes in the county, yet only 100 ballets to be found. The law says if you find something like that, you can't recount that county. (Make sense /sarcasm.)

All it does is count the votes there. The only thing it helps with is those thinking that the booths were hacked and the numbers wrong. Which if anyone knows anythign about the machines, they are not connected at all and are also off teh grid. A hacker would have to go to each machine individually to hack them. Sure some could be hacke,d but it is a big country.

Basically that. 

Also what happens to her money? She raised like 7 million or something right? Michigand Pensylvania basically cancelled or didn't do the recount and thus didn't spend nearly the 7 million. 



Maybe if they did recounts everywhere and actually counted absentee ballots he would end up with the popular vote as well.
