    oh and don’t forget Nevada also…

    Recount them with an “independently verifiable” source and then we can all go back to worrying about the China flu.

    @Eddie: “Correctly” means showing a win for Trump despite him having fewer votes, right?

    @Diarmaid Mac Aonghusa: Correctly mean counting the legal votes and destroying illegal/invalid votes. If that means Trump getting more Electoral College votes then so be it…

    @ED209: ah it’s only the states with Democratic Governors that appear to have “irregularities”.

    It Biden was/is concened about the count in other states then he is quite rightly allowed to go through that states process to get a recount.

    @Eddie: You know he’s lost. This isn’t a few hundred votes that you need to scam. This is thousands in multiple states and with the added democratic mandate of a huge victory in the popular vote. Nobody is arguing against a recount in a close call but the game of pretending that postal votes don’t count or are fraudulant is going nowhere and you know it. Your boy told us this was his plan – attack mail in votes before the election and then claim it is a scam afterwards. No one is buying it, not even Fox News.

    @Diarmaid Mac Aonghusa: Electoral College is there to stop elections been won by the “popular” vote… so no need to keep referring to it… it’s irrelevant.

    Actually – wonder what’s going on with Fox News lately – they must be all on the piss with Alex Jones…

    Anyways – only hanging around today to see what the craic is with our own
    dodgy crew… has #Count5Leo resigned yet?

    @Eddie: But by that reconning couldn’t the same logic be said about those states that have Republican Governors. How can you trust them that they have no irregularities and aren’t trying to swing the election?

    Arizona and Georgia are gone blue this year, Alaska will stay red, North Carolina should have been called for Trump already.
    Georgia will go to a recount either way, it’s within the margin of being a legit recount

    @WreckDefier: not really. Biden is 45k ahead in Penn. He has over 270 with that. No recount will change 45k votes, nor will all the cries of voter fraud with evidence change it. Trump could win all the other states but he’d still lose

    @Ger: The problem is trump and his supporters are getting a dose of reality. The actual courts of law in real life require verifiable proof. It’s not their little fox news bubble where you can just shout voter fraud and judge jeanine will nod and agree with you.

    Whether its Biden or Trump, the fact the winner has already been declared, as mentioned in the article, ‘by several media outlets’ should be worrying. As unlikeable Trump is, the fact is he and his team are entitled to challenge various aspects and counts of the election. Just as Al Gore did in 2000, and Jill Stein did in 2016. Allowing the media or anyone else just declare the winner without going through the proper procedure is not a practice I think will serve the US public in the long run. Fine, now its to the benefit of a popular left-leaning candidate who’s victory will end the presidency of someone many dislike but next time it might be the opposite. Or maybe next time the media will not be as friendly to a candidate preferred by progressive voters. Come December, after Trump (or Biden in other contested states) have their say in court, the institutions that have allowed the one of world’s oldest and most powerful democracies to continue its smooth transfer of power will continue and as long as people have faith in these institutions it will continue for generation to come.
