It’s a dangerous game they play.

I would agree, it’s a very dangerous strategy.

First, if people spent an entire year in this election frenzy, democrat and republican....and the vote doesn’t count, why bother ever voting again? Or why shouldn’t I sue the state, and the Green Party for disenfranchising my vote?

Second, if this is accepted...why not repeat it in eight years? If Republicans can maintain a grip on 26 states having a republican-led House position, and a democrat wins in 2024 barely...republicans could perform the same trick and cancel out the Electoral College, and have the House vote for the person.

It just opens a can of worms with serious consequences down the road.

Personally, if you haven’t requested a recount within seven days of the election...I think your situation ought to be finished. I would imagine some states will write a law that if there’s more than 10-percent difference between the winner and the losers...no recount will be accomplished under any situation.
