Federal judge orders immediate start of Michigan recount[W:224]

Quite true... in fact I remember a quote.

"Elections matter. I won."

"You don't like a particular policy or a particular president? Then argue for your position. Go out there and win an election. Push to change it. But don't break it. Don't break what our predecessors spent over two centuries building. That's not being faithful to what this country's about."

"Go out there and win an election."

- Barack Obama

Sounds like election rhetoric.

Hardly subversive or unconstitutional y'know.

Then again maybe some out there do not know.

The result of the recount in any of the three states, or at least in the two so far doing recounts, will be the result.

A recount would pretty much settle it.

I reiterate my position from the outset of the recount effort by Dr. Stein is that recounts in the three states will not change the outcome of the election.

In other words, I'm not sitting on the edge of my seat. I'm rather well back into my recliner thx.

Oh, right. What was I thinking? We don't need to re vote or recount in the States Hillary won. We know everything went off without a flaw in those States.

It is a term of art.

Applied to the election, the auditing of the vote in each of the three states, the recount.

Term of art. Google is everyone's friend.

I think, in Pennsylvania, the difference was more than 1%. A recount would only be to find out if the vote was hacked, which I doubt. Still, it's a good thing to find out. In the end, after all the recount fiasco, Trump is still President.

The problem is that Stein isn't really interested in following the legal process. The federal courts have little to judge on in this case since she withdrew her appeal at the state level. A federal court getting involved on a state issue where the state courts haven't ruled would be rather unorthodox.

I doubt it too but Fox News reported they thought voting machines could be rigged so perhaps te recounts will put these types of accusations in the future.

I would like our nation to be assured that our election counts and our USA voting machines re working correctly.

Term of art is irrelevant to the law and to the discussion.

The Stein filings in the two federal courts document items such as elections officials in PA not allowing access to voter sign-in registers, denying access to provisional ballots, not revealing the votes entered on provisional ballots and other masking or of possibly duplicitous actions by elections officials, to include a state judge tossing without comment notarized documentation of such complaints.

And a recount verifies that. No need for you to freak out.

Explain how verifying an election subverts the election.

Nice strawman, as I never claimed anything in this thread to be subversive or unconstitutional. :roll:

PA is down to 0.8%.

Trump had been ahead by 1.2% until the recount effort began to emerge. Simultaneously just about.

If it is verification that you are after then why only 3 states? Why not recount every single state endlessly until we reach an outcome liberals can accept...?

It would be up to Trump or another to file for any such recounts.

They won't happen otherwise.

That would be in 8 days.
