Bullshit.

Not going to happen. This is just more hyper-spastic hysterical "The sky is falling" crap from people who prefer strife and turmoil to enjoying God's promised blessing.

The surest way to convince God to remove His blessing is to spit on it with mindless negative speculation, and refusing to relinquish your petulant addiction to worst-case-scenario prognostication.

Cut the crap. The grown-ups will send you to the kiddies room.

Agreed. Duffy is just giving the Worst Case Scenario in which the Wisc EV votes might not get counted, which could only happen if both, A) Wisc legislature was currently in hands of Dems, and B) US Congress now in hands of Dems.

But neither is true, so the worst case can't happen. Their 10 EV's are going to get cast for one candidate or the other. Only if a recount is both fair AND shows Clinton beating Trump, does she get the 10; otherwise Trump gets the 10. There's no way the 10 votes go poof into thin air, by any reading of the US Constitution. State legislatures pick who the Electors are, and if two competing slates of Electors meet and both claim they're the Real McCoy, the US Congress has always gotten to choose which slate to certify.

One big disconnect you see in the news is that, on the one hand, we hear claims that NO WAY can a hand-recount be done by the deadline. But OTOH we see that the Wisc county clerks do seem to think they can do it, by expanding the hours and the numbers of $20/hr personnel including retired county clerk employees, way past what they did for recent recounts. Here's one example: UPDATE: Surge to complete Wisconsin's presidential recount by deadline begins

One thing that makes me feel better is that it is NOT just far-left Dane County that's chosen to do the hand recounts, but rather: "The majority of the state's 72 counties are doing a hand recount". Good. We do not want just the Dem Counties trying to discern the "intent" of a ballot that only shows votes on down-ticket races and no selection for Prez.
