Recount

[Lancecastor]

Recounts are a standard feature in canuckistan elections; we have judicial recounts in lots of close races.

It's fascinating to see it unwind/fizzle... but its probably worth discussing.

Bonus Discussion: is this development "ironic" ?

In Amerikastan:

It will indeed be ironic if Jill Stein was actually a surrogate for the Hillary Clinton and Hillary ends up losing votes after a recount.

I read an interesting piece somewhere up pointing out that if we had a popular vote instead of electoral college we would have to have recounts in all 50 states with all of the various differing rules on who does the recount and how it's accomplished and so forth. Then you have litigation in any of the states where won Canada or the other doesn't like the way the recount went. We wouldn't have who the president is for a good 6 months or more.

I see that it's now official that Trump won Michigan by over 10,000 votes.
A recount would allow officials to "find" a box at a Detroit polling station containing 11,000 votes for Hillary.

That's what has the Democrats so pissed off. They would have had all those boxes of ballots ready to go but they didn't know which States they would need them in or how many boxes they would need.

With Hillary the polls lied to appease her but hurt themselves with next time. Who can trust them?

From anger, back to denial for Democrats...

Recount in this election was a forgone conclusion. All the polls said the wrong person won. The pollsters and strategists can't be wrong. Right?

The electoral college doesnt declare a winner until december 19.

So why do people have their tits in a knot over making sure the count is correct?

It's 99% percent certain that the victors name can be formed from the letters in the word triumph.

There is a 1% possibility of a bloody Civil War of course.

Canadians also demand Recounts as a standard feature for the Stanley Cup
