Just as Trump is doing now.

Goose and gander, again. :mrgreen:

But who says he would have?

Given he stated at the end of the first debate that he wouldn't claim victory until the election was independently certified, I don't think anyone could believe him if he said that he wouldn't have.

Vice President Biden, final question for you. Will you urge your supporters to stay calm while the vote is counted? And will you pledge not to declare victory until the election is independently certified?

1:32:05 BIDEN

Yes.

But hardly in a position of power.

Georgia's recount may have given President Trump a slight boost, but not nearly enough to affect the presidential election's outcome in the state ... the recount uncovered more than 2,600 ballots in Georgia's Floyd County that weren't initially tallied, which could give Trump about 800 new votes ...

So let's see ... 2600 previously uncounted ballots ... 800 going to Mr. Trump ... that's 1800 going to Mr. Biden ...

Mr. Trump should have quit while he was still ahead not so far behind!

:lol:

Quote:

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — President Donald Trump will have to pay $7.9 million if he wants a statewide recount of unofficial results in Wisconsin showing him losing to Democrat Joe Biden by about 20,500 votes.

That is four times higher than what the recount cost four years ago, a cost increase that elections officials said was driven by expenses related to conducting a recount during the coronavirus pandemic.

Counties had until Tuesday to certify the election results. Assuming the last county canvass isn’t filed until Tuesday as expected, Trump would then have until 5 p.m. on Wednesday to request the recount. The recount could begin as soon as Thursday and be done no later than Dec. 1.

The Wisconsin Elections Commission on Monday released the recount timeline and cost estimate, which was based on costs submitted by the 72 counties.

“We still have not received any indication that there will or will not be a recount,” said Meagan Wolfe, the state’s chief election official. “But we want Wisconsin’s voters to know we are ready.”

I guess we will see shorty if that recount happens.

Who makes up the Wisconsin election commission for those interested:

https://elections.wi.gov/about/members
https://elections.wi.gov/about/staff

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wisconsin_Elections_Commission

Quote:

The Commission is made up of six members, two of which are appointed by the Governor, and one each by the President of the Senate, the Senate Minority Leader, the Speaker of the Assembly, and the Assembly Minority Leader. As of 2020, Republicans and Democrats have three members each.

The staff of the Commission are non-partisan, and are led by an administrator appointed by the commission and confirmed by the Wisconsin Senate. Meagan Wolfe was appointed interim administrator March 2, 2018, and was unanimously confirmed by the Wisconsin State Senate on May 15, 2019 for a term ending June 30, 2023.

The Wisconsin Senate was (and still is) republican controlled when Meagan Wolfe was confirmed, not that Democrats dissented.

It's a shame people don't take the time to check their facts, instead rushing to make what turn out to be false assertions...

From the source article (linked within the one you quoted from):

Quote:

Trump could gain nearly 800 net votes from the discovered ballots. There were 1,643 new votes for Trump and 865 for Biden.

Source: https://www.ajc.com/politics/georgia-recount-uncovers-2600-new-votes-in-presidential-race/I75NSPYYGNF43HQZBPYKJWJ5MA/

Not enough to change the current standings, but also not increasing the difference as some mistakenly assumed...

I'm not sure how anyone could have read "Georgia's recount may have given President Trump a slight boost" and believe that meant he lost votes in comparison to his opposition...

Do you see how this wording, taken literally, could lead one to Fnord's conclusion? Some article publishers also try to fish for clicks with misleading titles so that may lead one to trust the content over the title. Poorly written article all around IMO.

Some folks sometimes are probably simply posting political satire ala Stephen Colbert.

The joke that was running the free world and continues to waste precious resources is now just a bad dream.

Quote:

The Wayne County Board of Canvassers deadlocked 2-2 Tuesday along party lines on whether the county's Nov. 3 election results should be certified as at least four state and federal lawsuits sought to stop the process.

The decision came after a number of absentee ballot poll books in Detroit were found to be out of balance, a situation that did not stop the same board from certifying the results in the August primary or the county's November 2016 general election results.

Quote:

In August, 72% of Detroit's poll books were found to be out of balance, a condition that precluded them from being used if a recount were requested. The issues prompted the state to send in additional help ahead of the general election, including veteran state elections official Thomas.

Detroit had problems with precinct count mismatches in the November 2016 election. Election officials couldn’t reconcile vote totals for 59% of precincts in the city during a countywide canvass of vote results with most of the issues involving too many votes.

Thanks for cherry picking that article to support your agenda. At least you posted the source so we can see your game.
