And again... it defies understanding, not only here but in most of the swing states.
It's time to demand a #SwingStateHandRecount.

Huh. So even the dems basically swept NC except for the president. Wild.

I self-deleted an earlier tweet because I just don't think a swing state recount is remotely possible. Posting this because I respect Pavlovitz.

(18,723 posts)Lets stop this nonsense.
Let's just roll over like we always do. Let's not ruffle any feathers. Let's not rock any boats. Let's not even whisper the word 'rigged'. Let's make sure the other side understands we'll never challenge anything in our futile quest to 'go high'. Let's let millions of people lose their health care, let's let millions of women lose their reproductive rights, let's let kids lose any chance to learn real American history.
Sure, let's stop this nonsense called democracy. Who needed it anyway? Kakistocracy is so much better.

(27,780 posts)If some of the states were closer, then I'm sure the Dem lawyer brigade would be screaming for recounts. Not hearing anything from them.

(16,702 posts)paper ballots that are up to the counters opinion as to what the voter intended (Florida and who many others). But the tabulators can be massaged to indicate something different. But, if an audit is done of random tabulators and compared to the ballots inserted into them, I think something interesting would show up in this election.

(33 posts)I would feel better if they did that. Some of the results seem wild and confirming it would make me feel a lot more secure.

we all know that the things they accuse others of r things that they either have done or plan to do.
plus all tsfs little hints.
sweeping this shit under the carpet is how democracy ends. ppl were scarred by their struggle to vote. those long lines on campuses r y the youth vote never lives up to expectations, but no 1 puts 2+2 together. and theyre likely to never vote again.
they sure wont if it was all for naught. for not even a fight.
