Hillary Clinton’s lead in the popular vote has now topped 2.5 million, the New York Times reported on Thursday. That 1.9 percent margin over President-elect Donald Trump is larger than that of nine previous presidents.

I know you libs are trying to tell yourselves whatever will help you sleep at night after a crushing defeat, but whining about who won the popular vote is pointless and stupid. Both candidates campaigned to win the electoral vote, and Trump won. Plain and simple. If Trump had campaigned to win the popular vote, who's to say that he wouldn't have won that too? But it would've been a completely different campaign strategy than the one he used. It's great news and all that your candidate won the popular. The bad news is that the other candidate didn't even try to win the popular vote. So you're gloating about the final score of a game that never happened.

He got smashed in California, if the rules had been different maybe that margin would have been even bigger considering Clinton would have actively campaigned to maximize the number of votes in such a populated state. I think he would have lost the popular vote either way.

The fact is, we'll never know for sure how the popular vote would have looked this year if it determined elections. You might be right, but it's still your opinion and not a fact.

However, we do know for a fact that Trump won by 74 electoral votes.

That's why the "popular vote" argument is retarded.

It points out the mandate of the American people is thin for any grand sweeping changes.

I don't for a second doubt that if it had gone the other way you would be saying how important the popular vote is.

I'm not fine with the electoral college, it flies in the face of the idea that votes should matter and count equally, the same as having a senate does. The fact you can lose an election when you got 2% more votes than the other guy shows how absurd the electoral college is. It's not like this was a small margin like 2000 when Gore barely won the popular vote and Bush barely won the electoral vote. Clinton pretty decisively won the popular vote and Trump pretty decisively the electoral vote. That the two could be so strongly divorced shows pretty clearly how unrepresentative our elections are.

This is partially the media's doing dude. Every poll had her up, supposedly she was tied, or up in states like FL and OH. Polls had her supposedly winning , MI,WI and PA with ease. Prior to the election according to media, pollsters, etc, there was absolutely no way Trump could win. He needed to much stuff to fall into place. The media, and obviously Hillary and her campaign failed to take into account the millions of Bernie supporters who either voted 3rd party or just stayed home. I do blame Hillary for running a pretty lazy/lackluster campaign, but the media had their hand in this too. And for whatever reason I had a REALLY bad feeling going into election night. I didn't even bother to watch any of the coverage in 2012, I knew it was in the bag for Obama. This time around all the emails, DNC cheating of Bernie supposedly, Podesta,Comney,the out right hatred of Hillary, I just had a weird feeling that it would be close. I still didn't think he would flip 3 blue states. Not even in my worst case scenario electoral map models did I have that happen. :bang

When averaged the polls were only like 2 points off, that's pretty standard in a presidential election. The media was stupid because they kept acting like Trump had to win a sequence of independent coinflips to win the presidency when the states were very much correlated. Nate Silver kept arguing this over and over when talking about how fragile Clinton's leads were, how a two point swing could doom her, and that's what happened. I'll chalk it up to the media being ignorant as to when random variables are independent or not.

They'll bitch and moan about officiating and it's impact and that is what these factions did. They bitched about the "officiating."

The above again invokes some secret that is withheld from the country that we all should know. Crock of paranoid shit.

Bad data in, bad data out. This is not a science experiment. We think we can accurately pin down human behavior? And because we can't there is some big bad secret? WTF?

To assess the claim, O'Reilly talked to retired ICE Special-Agent-In-Charge Claude Arnold, who said he "routinely" arrested illegal immigrants who had voter registrations.

"I worked in six locations across the United States. I probably arrested more than 1,000 illegal aliens in my career and I routinely encountered people who were in possession of voter registration cards. And as a part of my interview of them when they were arrested, I would ask them, "Do you or have you voted?' and often, I would get the answer 'yes,'" he explained.

Arnold agreed with O'Reilly's statement that "it's easy to do it and it's being done."

Arnold said that there is a very high demand for counterfeit documents like a drivers license because a large swath of the illegal population want to work.

He said there are often several illicit document vendors in neighborhoods with high illegal immigrant populations.

Because some states only require a drivers license number to be recorded to register to vote, or apply for an absentee ballot, the illegal registrations "are not necessarily picked up," he said.

Trump Campaign and GOP Allies in Full Legal Panic as Recounts Could Create Electoral College Crisis

Invoking Bush v. Gore to stop them or ignore the results.

Republicans are panicking because the Green Party’s presidential recounts in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania could prevent Donald Trump from receiving 270 Electoral College votes—the final hurdle to the presidency—on December 19.

In the past 24 hours, the Trump campaign and its GOP allies in the three states that gave him an apparent Electoral College victory after on November 8 have filed lawsuits and legal motions to block, delay and freeze the recounts. In the case of Michigan, where Trump’s lead is smallest, 10,704 votes, the state's

Republican attorney general is arguing the recount's results should be ignored.

Leave it to AlterNut to spin the Republicans as the bad guys here. It's the Democrats and the loony leftist Green Party trying to use phony recounts to hold up the Electoral College vote, orchestrate a scenario where the election goes to the House (where the Republicans will inevitably elect Trump), and then use that to claim Trump's win was illegitimate. And they'll keep repeating the Big Lie for four years in the hopes that enough people will believe it. The left in this country is the biggest bunch of sore losers ever.

Do you really think he should lock her up? That's not going to promote unity. It's not his call, but if the FBI finds something and recommends indictment - I dunno - bad way to start off a presidency with the country so divided.


California's votes do count. It's not like they're all ignored or thrown out. They also get more electoral votes than any other state. What they don't get to do is dominate what's supposed to be a 50-state political process damn near all by themselves.

Since the electoral votes are set by population and California has a disproportionate amount of illegals, don't they get more electoral votes than most other states (that don't have as many illegals)?

Jill Stein says she'll 'escalate' Pennsylvania recount case after earlier plans to drop it

By Caroline Kenny, CNN


Washington (CNN)Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein said early Sunday she would "escalate" her statewide recount efforts in Pennsylvania through a federal lawsuit, after announcing she would drop it.

Stein on Saturday cited a major cost placed on voters due to a state court ruling that says the voters requesting the recount must pay a $1 million bond. But shortly after midnight Sunday Stein tweeted about plans to continue on the recount bid.
"On Monday, I will escalate #Recount2016 in PA and file to demand a statewide recount on constitutional grounds. The people deserve answers," she wrote.

(BTW I don't think the majority of people who voted for him are dopey) And I think you got your super hero Mitchell. Plenty of idiots have money and/or are in office. And I don't think Trump is by any means an idiot. He is clearly a relentless worker and does not give up easily on anything. You want to make him your trolling idol, be my guest.

I don't think you have the slightest notion of what smart is. It could be many different things. So because I have more money than you I am smarter than you? BS. We may just want very different things. But this thinking is a very Republican idea so I get it.

I literally provided a video that shows he has a history of trolling the media and has done it throughout his campaign. You put too much emphasis on a simple observation, acting like I worship him for trolling the media when I mentioned it once and you just jumped to dispute it since it goes against your narrative. You have Trump's name in your mouth more often than I if we're going to talk about worship :lol

I think I know enough about intelligence to point at a man who made billions and achieved as much as he had and say he's smarter than an armchair analyst (obvious partisan bias as well). You only see what fits into your own narrative and political bias. Face it, you're just another botox_deuce when it comes to politics.

‘I have no knowledge of such things’: Paul Ryan plays dumb on Trump’s big lie about illegal voters

on CBS’ 60 Minutes on Sunday.

Ryan attempted to dodge interviewer Scott Pelley’s questions by pretending he didn’t know anything about President-elect Donald Trump’s contention that “millions of people” voted illegally for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

As he blinked uncomfortably, it appeared Ryan might even be on the verge of asking, “What’s a tweet?” or “I’ve heard of this
Donald Trump fellow you mentioned. Who is he, again?”

“Trump tweeted in the last week or so that he had actually won the popular vote if you deduct the millions that voted illegally,”
Pelley asked Ryan. “Do you believe that?”

“I don’t know, I’m not really focused on these things,” Ryan replied.

“Wait a minute, wait a minute,” said Pelley. “You have an opinion on whether millions of Americans voted illegally.”

“I have no way of backing that up,” Ryan said. “I have no knowledge of such things.”

Pelley said, “You don’t believe that…”

“But I don’t — it doesn’t matter to me,” Ryan said. “He won the election.” :lol

I hope he succeeds in getting an economy started that benefits the middle class. He will be our president, I can't hope he will fail at the aforementioned.

I would seriously doubt it, but who knows. If he turns out to be a good president then its a win but more likely his popularity is very low and by the time 2020 comes around, it will be an absolute dog fight for him to get reelected. He already has the lowest favorablity of any person who ran for president in the past 30 years, I don't think that will rise very much.

Michigan Recount Marred by Partisanship, Legal Battles, Broken Machines

'Partisan attempts to halt a good-faith effort to ensure all votes have been counted fairly should be met with intense skepticism'

Meanwhile, broken machines—many of them in heavily Democratic Detroit—threaten to throw the recount into "chaos," as the Guardian put it (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/dec/05/us-election-recount-michigan-donald-trump-hillary-clinton) Tuesday.

The Detroit News reported (http://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/politics/2016/12/05/recount-unrecountable/95007392/):

One-third of precincts in Wayne County could be disqualified from an unprecedented statewide recount of presidential election results because of problems with ballots.

Michigan's largest county voted overwhelmingly for Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, but officials couldn’t reconcile vote totals for 610 of 1,680 precincts during a countywide canvass of vote results late last month.

Most of those are in heavily Democratic Detroit, where the number of ballots in precinct poll books did not match those of voting machine printout reports in 59 percent of precincts, 392 of 662.

According to state law (http://www.legislature.mi.gov/%28S%28j2zaw5bbemqkc3xwe42ouccv%29%29/mileg.aspx?page=getobject&objectname=mcl-168-871&query=on&highlight=recount%20AND%20seal), precincts whose poll books don’t match with ballots can't be recounted. If that happens, original election results stand.


Citing Democratic political activist Ernest Johnson, who campaigned for Clinton, the paper pointed out that "[d]isqualifying huge numbers of precincts would make it 'almost impossible' for the former New York senator to make up the votes."

"It's a real long-shot now because, if I were looking for 10,000 votes, the first place I'd look is Wayne County," Johnson said. "That's a huge problem. ... But if anything good comes of this it brings up this problem (with voting machines) that needs to be corrected."

keep an eye on where this goes....

E. Randol Schoenberg, an attorney renowned for recovering artworks stolen by Nazis during the Holocaust, filed a lawsuit against the FBI this week to get answers about why Director James Comey falsely suggested that Hillary Clinton committed a crime just days before the 2016 election.


“I filed a lawsuit today against the US Department of Justice seeking immediate disclosure of the FBI search warrant for the e-mails of Hillary Clinton and Huma Abedin on Anthony Weiner’s laptop,” Schoenberg wrote on his Facebook page on Wednesday. “I think we need to see what ‘probable cause’ was shown for obtaining the search warrant, because whoever thought there was going to be evidence of a crime was obviously mistaken. And that mistake probably changed the outcome of the election.”

In a blog post late last month, Schoenberg explained that it would be very unusual for a judge to grant the FBI a search warrant “imply because someone has the ability to commit the crime of intentionally violating laws governing the handling of classified information.”

“To obtain a warrant it had to establish probable cause to believe that evidence of a crime would be found. Since we now know that no such evidence was found on the laptop, it is time to investigate why the FBI believed it had probable cause.”

Experts Say Stopping Michigan Recount Is A Corrupt Exercise Of Power

Michigan is the new Florida in American elections, an infamous state where Republican judges shut down a presidential recount before the votes were counted, leaving Americans with unanswered questions about Donald Trump’s closest margin of victory on election night, November 8.

Thursday morning, no county election offices (http://www.nationalmemo.com/federal-judge-halts-michigan-recount/) were continuing with the recount, even as Green presidential candidate Jill Stein’s campaign was taking its fight for the recount to Michigan’s Supreme Court.

Make no mistake, a travesty has occurred.

On Wednesday in courtrooms and government boardrooms across the state, a series of legal dominos fell on Stein’s statewide presidential recount. In state legal venues, the

linchpin was a three-member appeals court of Republican judges

who ordered a state vote canvassing board to shut down the recount. That board then voted to reverse its earlier decision allowing the recount to start.

Later Wednesday evening, a federal court judge lifted his prior restraining order preventing Michigan officials from calling off the recount.

On Thursday, Michigan counties had suspended (http://www.nationalmemo.com/modern-day-electoral-jim-crow/) the recount. “It’s stopped,” said the receptionist answering the phone at the Wayne County Election Division in Detroit.

What follows are seven statements from election integrity activists and computer security experts who supported the recount.

1. John Bonifaz, co-founder and president, Free Speech For People: 
”It is an outrage that the voters of Michigan are being denied their right to have their votes properly counted. Because of a partisan state appeals court decision, Americans will never know the truth about what happened in this election. But the fight for our democracy must go on, now more than ever. History will record that, at this critical moment, people across the country stood up to demand that we verify the vote.”

2. Douglas W. Jones, associate professor of computer science, University of Iowa: “In a healthy democracy, elections are run with sufficient transparency that partisans of the losing candidate can convince themselves that they lost fair and square. Recounts in close elections are a necessary part of this transparency, particularly when the margin of victory is exceeded by an unusual number of ballots that were cast without reporting any vote in the election. Trump’s fight to stop the recount only serves to fuel speculation that he has something to hide.”

3. Mark Halverson, founder and former director, Citizens of Election Integrity Minnesota: “On the basis of our research into state recount laws, I take issue with the court’s assertion that no court has ever endorsed the use of a recount for purposes of determining whether or not voting machines functioned properly and counted votes accurately. For example, Tennessee recount statutes allow ‘any court, primary board, legislative body, or tribunal’ with jurisdiction over election contests to initiate a recount of ballots under circumstances including an indication of fraud, or the malfunction of a voting machine, whether the malfunction would be in a sufficient amount to alter the election outcome or for ‘any other instance’ in which such a body ‘finds that a recount is warranted.’ California and Delaware have similar provisions.”

4. Barbara Simons, board of advisers, U.S. Election Assistance Commission: The co-author of Broken Ballots: Will Your Vote Count? says, “Michigan citizens are fortunate to have a sound method for casting their votes: they mark paper ballots which are then counted by computers inside of scanning machines. However, computers can have software bugs, programming errors, or election-rigging malware. Fortunately, we can determine if there are any problems with the scanners by comparing what the paper ballots say to what the scanner thinks they say. But if we don’t look at the paper, then we can’t know if the scanners are correct. We have a choice. We can honor our democracy by routinely checking computer-declared results after every election. Or we can accept computer-declared results on faith, even though they may be wrong. Our democracy will fail if we continue to allow unreliable computers to decide our elections on our behalf.”

5. Phillip B. Stark, associate dean of mathematical and physical sciences and professor of statistics, UC Berkeley: “This decision halts the collection of priceless evidence about how well the infrastructure of our democracy works. Counting the votes accurately and checking the count carefully should not be a partisan issue. We should check election results against cast paper ballots in every election. There are more efficient ways to do that than full recounts: we need laws that require non-partisan, risk-limiting audits to catch and correct errors. But first, we need all voters to use paper ballots, and we need all jurisdictions to protect those ballots.”

6. Poorvi Vora, professor of computer science, George Washington University: “Statistician Philip Stark and computer scientist David Wagner of Berkeley have defined ‘evidence-based elections’ as those where voters and observers are provided evidence in support of the election outcome. The recount was to have provided evidence for or against a very unusual number in the Michigan election this year: 75,000 voters—a number seven times the margin in the race—voted in the election but did not vote on president. However, in the early days of the recount, there have been reports of other, more troubling facts from this election: mismatches between voter turnout and ballots, scanners jamming, insecure storage of ballot boxes. This is not the time to stop the recount. This is the time to press on with it to obtain more evidence and understand more completely the election process in Michigan.”

7. Dan Wallach, professor in Rice University’s Department of Computer Science and manager of Rice Computer Security Lab: “I’m disappointed that Michigan isn’t seeing its recount through. We have legitimate concerns about foreign nation-states trying to manipulate our elections, and Michigan offered an important opportunity to either prove or disprove these concerns. The discrepancies in Detroit (broken seals, mismatching counts) already point to flaws in Michigan’s election processes that need to be improved, and even a recount that failed to change the outcome would be able to provide a definitive count of how many Michigan votes were handled so poorly that they cannot be properly recounted.”

Recount Continues in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin

The Stein campaign also filed for recounts in Wisconsin, which started last week, and in Pennsylvania, which has gotten off to a rough start and where it has sued the state in federal court over what it says are unconstitutional obstructions to the process.

Pennsylvania’s election system allows for a state-run recount if the margin of victory is less than 0.5 percent, which is slightly below Donald Trump’s latest lead over Hillary Clinton. That has prompted the Stein campaign to try to file for citizen-initiated recounts, where any three voters from one precinct can submit notarized petitions. As of midweek, 1,300 voters filed petitions, but many jurisdictions either refused to take them or haven’t acted on them. Republicans have also filed legal challenges, tying up recounts in courts, where more often than not local judges have rejected the recount.

When the Stein campaign filed a legal petition seeking a statewide recount with 100 signatures on it, the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court demanded that they pay $1 million to be able to move forward with their case, which prompted the Stein campaign to sue the state in federal court. The case will be heard Friday. In Wisconsin, where the recount is nearing completion, the state inexplicably more than tripled its estimated $1.1 million filing fee to $3.5 million, which Stein’s campaign paid.

But the most dubious opposition to recounting the ballots was in Michigan, where the state election department told counties they could disqualify local precincts from a recount if there is discrepancy between the number of voters in a precinct’s poll book and the number of ballots in the ballot box. That standard meant 392 of 662 precincts in heavily Democratic Detroit—or 59 percent—of the precincts were deemed ineligible for a recount.

In interviews with the Detroit Free Press, nationally known election scholars criticized (http://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2016/12/07/michigan-recount-ballot-election/95058326/) that disqualifying standard. Larry Norden, Democracy Program deputy director at the Brennan Center at NYU Law School, said, “It seems like to have such a strict rule is a bad idea because it potentially incentivizes someone who doesn’t want a recount.”

The Free Press added, “Norden said a rogue poll worker could simply add one name to the poll book at the end of the evening to ensure the precinct couldn’t be recounted.”

Ed Foley, an election law expert at Moritz Law School in Ohio also said (http://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2016/12/07/michigan-recount-ballot-election/95058326/) Michigan’s disqualifying standard was out of step with other states. “In most states, if it’s [precinct ballot totals and poll book sign-ins] only off by one or two, it’s usually poll worker error and absent any other evidence of fraud or impropriety, they’ll treat the ballots as valid. The thinking is that those mistakes even out. Michigan is sort of out of step with that prevailing practice.”

But like Wisconsin, where state actors changed the rules in the middle of the recount process, Michigan Republicans have not stopped going after the Greens. In their GOP-controlled legislature, the House Elections Committee has passed and sent to the floor a bill retroactively requiring (http://www.mlive.com/news/index.ssf/2016/12/house_bill_would_amend_michiga.html) the Stein campaign to pay more for the recount.

Not What Democracy Looks Like

Voting in the presidential election didn’t start on November 8. It began weeks before, where civil rights attorneys in many states were in court to prevent

partisan election officials, almost all Republicans, from creating barriers to the vote such as closing early voting sites in communities of color and toughening voter ID laws to get a ballot.

And the presidential election didn’t end after Election Day, when states took weeks to officially certify their counts and a call came to verify the vote count in the states that purportedly elected Trump.

Americans need to know who elected Trump and why, instead of seeing a morass of vote count obstructionism that’s as alarming as the October surprise delivered by a partisan FBI, which targeted Hillary Clinton in the final weeks of the campaign.

While the Clinton campaign refused to demand accountability on behalf of its voters, Stein’s campaign surprisingly took on the job. What did her 100,000-plus small donors get for their millions? They have placed new election integrity issues before the nation.

They showed it is not just partisan voter suppression before and on Election Day, but a rickety ballot and vote counting machinery manned by too many officials who don’t want to account for votes, compounded by partisan courts pre-empting the vote count, that sit at the center of the electoral process. Perhaps American elections have always been this way, but many voters do not think that’s the way a democracy is supposed to function.

And she has lost in 2016.

"In Wisconsin, the Great America political action committee and Stop Hillary PAC had called on the court to halt the recount, which is more than 88 percent complete"

88% recount complete and the Repugs still want the recount stopped? They're OBVIOUSLY are worried about, or know, the result not favorable to Trash.




This is a waste of time unless someone has found flaws in the process and is trying to fix it for the next elections for that state.

...that's exactly what's been found, badly managed people, broken malfunctioning machines, etc w/o even getting into the counting fraud possible a the state-consolidation level.

Didn't Hillary get more popular votes than Obama in the primaries in 2008? Why was no one threatening to change the delegate system?


And so what?

How to save the Wisconsin recount

The Wisconsin recount is headed for disaster, but there’s still a chance to save it. We need a federal lawsuit requiring a hand recount of all paper ballots.

We’re one week into the historic Wisconsin recount, prompted in no small part by widespread concerns about the reliability of electronic voting machines and their susceptibility to tampering, fraud, and computer hacking.

The difference in Wisconsin is currently about 22,000 votes, or 0.75%.

Patriotic, democracy-loving Americans share a common value of wanting to see that every vote is counted fairly, accurately, and honestly, especially in such a close and crucial election as this one.

Let’s get to know these machines better.

The optical scanning computers used in Wisconsin and other states, especially the infamous ES&S DS-200, too often fail to count votes where voter intent could be discerned by hand.

These are officially called “undervotes” or “overvotes,” but in many instances could be called “not counted votes.”

A lightly marked ballot filled out by an elderly or handicapped person, a checkmark instead of a filled-in oval, or even a ballot cast using the wrong pen color can be missed or “no votes” in a machine count but real, legal votes in a hand count.

In Florida, a shocking 1.67% of the people wearing an “I Voted” sticker didn’t actually.

In Michigan, where the margin is only 11,000 votes, there are 75,000 not counted votes in Detroit alone.

Hand counts will identify and include legal votes missed by the machine; anyone who says otherwise is simply wrong.

Back to Wisconsin.

The disparity between machine counting and hand counting is why the Stein and Clinton campaigns petitioned last week for a judicial order that would require all counties to recount paper ballots by hand.

Last Tuesday, the judge affirmed that truth while denying the order.

Forty-seven of Wisconsin’s 72 counties chose the faster and more reliable method of hand counting the ballots.

But that means 25 counties are using the same unreliable machines for their recount as on election night.

The disparity in methods means that the machine-counted votes in those 25 counties are counted less than the hand-counted votes in the other 47.

This violates the Equal Protection Clause and was the central holding in Bush v. Gore, that similar ballots must be counted in the same way.

• In St. Croix County, recount observers discovered that tamper-protection seals on five voting machines used in the recount were broken. Officials later confirmed they were broken before Election Day as well. The same officials declined to conduct a hand count of all ballots and instead recounted ballots using those five machines.[/COLOR]

• In Waukesha, a county with a history of troubled elections, officials are failing to reconcile the poll list in each ward, counting votes where the voter’s signature is missing from the poll book, and allowing ballot remakes that can’t be matched to originals. In other words, Waukesha is counting ballots that shouldn’t be counted.[/COLOR]

• In Racine County, election officials are rejecting ballots by absentee/in-person voters whose ballot envelope does not contain a witness signature. Other counties are accepting identical ballots on the grounds that such voters have been witnessed by election officials. This disparate practice is also a violation of Wisconsin law and the Equal Protection Clause.[/COLOR]

• The DS-200s create digital ballot images when they scan each ballot — images that are public records. Since it’s the scanned ballot images rather than the paper ballot itself that these machines are counting, to destroy the image is to destroy the chain of custody. That’s exactly what officials in Brown County are doing. Officials in Fond Du Lac County are refusing to make the images available to observers to compare to the machine totals.

• And yes, despite FBI Director James Comey’s testimony to Congress on September 28th, many of Wisconsin’s (and America’s) voting machines are connected to the Internet.

The ES&S DS-200, in use in 15 Wisconsin counties, comes installed with a cellular modem to transmit results via the Internet on election night. Election observers in Wisconsin have confirmed that several counties, including the large counties of Milwaukee and Waukesha, use this capability. This also requires that the central county tabulator, which receives the transmitted results, is on the Internet, too.

We suspect this is not an intermittent connection but that the county server is connected for longer periods, including during pre-election testing

This opens up all the nightmare scenarios for tampering and hacking in our elections that computer scientists have warned us about.

Against an adversary with nation-state cyber warfare capabilities, all bets are off.

Hillary DID WIN the popular vote.

And I bet that MI and WI Repugs, maybe with help from Russians cracking the online voting machines, RAPED the vote count.

Combined with MI and WI both having suppressed non-white voters, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED, Presidency stolen.

Landslide Lie Debunked: Trump Got .35% More Popular Vote Than 1988 Loser Michael Dukakis

Conservative CNN contributor and senior editor at The Atlantic David Frum reminded Trump and his supporters that actually, in spite of their claims to have a mandate,

the people "didn't speak" because "Donald Trump won 0.35 points more of the popular vote than Michael Dukakis in 1988."

IN ONE COUNTY, 4,000 PEOPLE SHOWED UP TO VOTE BUT DIDN’T — OR DID THEY?

More than 4,000 voters in a single Pennsylvania county headed to their local polling places on Election Day, stepped into the booth and, at the moment of decision, seemingly cast their vote for no one, records show.

Not for President-elect Donald Trump nor Hillary Clinton. Not for Gary Johnson nor Jill Stein.

Nor did they pick a single candidate for US Senate, Congress, state attorney general, state legislature, or town supervisor.

Yet machine records confirm that these Montgomery County voters went to the trouble of showing up.

They then either decided to withhold their vote or something prevented their votes from being recorded.

This mountain of so-called No Votes, regarded as “implausible” by Stein’s legal team, is now at the heart of her appeal for a recount of Pennsylvania’s presidential race that awarded the state’s 20 delegates to Trump.
