TRUMP DEMANDS RECOUNT IN WISC

by Bob Walsh


Yesterday the Trump organization announced that Donald Trump would demand an immediate recount in Wisconsin.  It should be noted that it is not possible to demand a recount until the count is actually certified, which does not take place in Wisconsin until December 1.  Since it appears the vote split is about 0.6% the recount itself will be granted as state law says you can ask for a recount if the split is less than 1%.  

As I hammer this out, about 1015 on Wednesday, the whole electoral college thing is still very much up in the air.  Arizona was originally declared by Fox for Biden, but several other news organizations have either not done so or withdrawn their earlier declaration.  Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina and other states are still being processed.  

Politics as a spectator sport.  Fun Fun Fun.
 
EDITOR'S NOTE: They are whistling in the dark.  Recounts rarely ever change the outcome.
