This has unraveled over the last week since this started. Numerous posters were assuring that there was no way all the recounts would happen...but now they are in progress. Other posters stated that votes wouldn’t be found to overturn the results...the jury’s out on that one, but I won’t be a bit surprised if it occurs. Stein, joined by Hillary, wouldn’t have begun this unless they had gamed this out and thought it would result in success. We aren’t grasping how desperate they are to gain the Presidency.

Overseas ballots must be postmarked by Election Day. And provisional ballots need to be verified legitimate before they can be added to the final tally.
The additional votes that dropped his lead down to 46k are valid and not fraudulent.
He’s going to be fine in Pennsylvania. If the courts don’t stop this ridiculous Hillary recount effort that’s being fronted by Stein, he will win... again.

You might be right about the absentee ballots, but overseas and military ballots do not have to be received until Nov. 15.
http://www.dos.pa.gov/VotingElections/CandidatesCommittees/RunningforOffice/Documents/2016%20important%20dates%20final.pdf

Provisional ballots cannot be counted until after election day because they are submitted on election day. I just learned from a PA guy that the reason so many provisional ballots came in was because the initial voter registrations were sent to the wrong place, so when people tried to vote in the Philly area, their registrations weren’t on file, so they had to use a provisional ballot. Were those all legit? Probably not, but they weren’t found after election day. They were completed on election day.

I never meant to imply that absentees aren’t counted. Of course they are.

The table says PA absentee ballots must be signed by Election Day, but need not arrive at the counting venue for 7 days after Election Day.

These ppl are upset over ballots being “found” that didn’t even arrive for 7 days after the election.

“Finding” 22000 votes is pure election fraud. Nothing else. Mr Trump’s folks on the scene had better be FULLY AWAKE AND FIGHTING THIS or they’re gonna have the election stolen - and quite possibly in the next few days too

Has any of that recount in Wisconsin come in from Milwaukee yet?

This is what I've been going by.

Ever wonder why Republicans never gain votes in a recount?

Are they just doing this on their own or is this an official recount?

Trump did gain votes over the last few days. Yesterday, he was up by 46K. Today he is up by 49K. He even gained votes in Philly once all the votes were counted, but HRC gained more because, well, it’s Philly. And remember, this is not a recount. These are just the provisional and military/overseas ballots being added to the final numbers. I know it seems like we always get shortended on the recounts, but it’s not like it’s all nefarious. Some people are just not that bright and do something wrong that requires them to fill out a provisional ballot. Sent registration to the wrong place, forgot ID, etc. Then, election officials have to check addresses and voting history, etc. to verify the ballot. That does take time, particularly in large jurisdictions.

They are only 2 days into the recount.

Yesterday there were only a handful of votes from one county. Today lots, and yes, some were from Milwaukee.

The recount so far looks clean, and it looks like it will end on time, unless Madison slows it down.

I heard they found 75,000 absentee ballots filled out in the back of somebodies trunk that they forgot to turn in on election night.

No doubt printed up a few days ago, and filled in with the same ink and handwriting.

Selective recounts are unconstitutional.

Yes, where the hell is the Trump legal team?

Bush v. Gore ruled 7-2 that either they do a statewide recount using the same standard statewide, or the recount is a violation of the equal protection clause in the 14th Amendment.

It doesn't matter what state law says. For a federal election, recounting only some precincts is illegal.

Hillary campaign is advertising for vote count volunteers. Soros is doing everything he can.

Wasn’t the restriction to recounting only certain precincts/divisions/counties the reason Gore lost his Supreme Court case? So now they’re doing only certain precincts in a certain city in Pennsylvania?

> Selective recounts are unconstitutional.

Exactly. How can you count the provisional and absentee ballots in only selected precincts and call it legitimate. Doesn’t make any sense.

FYI ppl, DU thread making an issue of more votes cast in Wisconsin towns then registered voters in that town.

One commenter pointed out that the registered voter count being used to draw that conclusion cannot be correct because Democrats got same day voter registration installed in Wisc.

So odds are pretty high the vote total exceeds the registration total because the same day registrants are not in that number.

“I heard they found 75,000 absentee ballots filled out in the back of somebodies trunk that they forgot to turn in on election night.”

I’ve read a lot of posters on FR lately saying they “heard” something & what they claim to have “heard” is pure FUD.

What I will hear for the next four years is “President Trump said this, President Trump said that”, and I’ll say “yeh”
