MI - 149,000 votes
NV - 37,000 votes and growing
WI - 21,000 votes pending a recount
PA - 47,000 votes and growing
AZ - 13,000 votes and shrinking (but not shrinking fast enough)
GA - 14,000 votes pending a recount
Edit - he needs at least 3 of these to change to flip the electoral college; it's not happening.
Recounts change totals on the order of hundreds, not thousands, and his time is up.
Results need to be certified end of November
Electors vote on 12/14.
When does trump give up this hopeless fight? [Reply]

:-) he won’t last that long. Dementia or death will take care of him long before 2024. President Kamala will be appointed president and then, finally, we can get rid of the evil police and get proper bail reform and raise taxes for everybody. [Reply]

Like so many other things, he didn't 'sow' anything that wasn't already rampant weeds everywhere.
There is plenty of doubt in the democratic processes, from many many sides. Mail-in ballots, computer tabulation and verification, these are countered just as strongly by the passionate assertion that any attempt at eligibility verification is racist and marginalizing. That's why openness, thoroughness and transparency are so important, much more important than a concocted premature narrative of conclusion. [Reply]
Everyone knows he has the same rights as Gore. WTF does that have to do with anything? Having the right to do something doesn't mean you should do it.
The 2000 Florida vote was so close it triggered automatic recounts. Most of the litigation had to do with how to count the several different types of fucked-up ballots they had. They weren't based on what someone heard someone else say about whether truckloads of fake ballots were being brought in. It was a result with a difference of a few hundred. There were real, reasonable issues there.
Today's issue has to do with states that are 15,000 to 150,000 difference. Other than GA being close enough to trigger an automatic recount, the only "issues" are stuff based on unsubstantiated bullshit being spread on twitter and pushed by Trump. It's such BS that even if it was correct, it still wouldn't be enough votes to matter. And you're clapping for it.
Trump has the same rights as Al Gore. There’s no reason to freak out. [Reply]

...I thought Gore was wrong - even tho I voted for him. And I am not freaking out. The fact remains however, that the transition needs to go forward. [Reply]

Most likely all of them that you think he has now.
How many store owners boarded their windows and painted MAGA or on them versus how many painted a pro BLM message hoping to avoid post-election violence? [Reply]

Ah, unlike trump I’m comfortable quickly and unequivocally disavowing the handful of criminals seeking to co-opt peaceful protests for their own gain. So they are not part of my movement.

For trumps part, we all see what he does.
Trump doesn’t have that problem either.
But again, regardless of whether you approve of the widespread violence of the left this year, it dwarfed violence from the right. [Reply]
