You gotta be kidding. Disparate methods of recounting, non-uniform standards, etc. Not to mention that under NPV [in an EXTREMELY close election], even a state that went 99%-1% would LIKELY be REQUIRED to recount since EVERY vote [nationwide] contributed to the selection of the winner.
State Governors are elected by popular vote under the provisions their states’ constitutions. Senators are elected by popular vote under the provisions of the 17th Amendment of the Constitution. In BOTH cases, they are elected ONLY by the citizens of their state[s]. Recounts are mandated ONLY when the statewide vote margin is something like less than 2%.
No recount would have been warranted in any of the nation’s 56 previous presidential elections if the outcome had been based on the nationwide count.
Absolute BULLSHIT. In 2000, there were approximately 105 million votes cast, with a differential of approximately 500,000 between Gore and Bush. Or approximately 1/2 of 1%. There WOULD have been a recount if NPV had been in effect AND it would have occurred in ALL 50 states AND DC.
Quit spouting NONSENSE …
Do the math.
The average change in the margin of victory as a result of a statewide recount was a mere 296 votes in a 10-year study of 2,884 elections.
