And strangely the side that is pooh-poohing it are, well....we all know.
From 2000-2015 EVERY "recount" wound up going to Ds.
How convenient.
Oh geezus Between 2000 and 2015 there were 4,687 statewide elections. Out of those there were recounts in 27 races. Out of 27 recounts there were only 3 reversals. Negligible vote gains were typical for both sides. The 3 reversals were:
2004 Washington Governor
2006 Vermont State Auditor
2008 Minnesota Senate
It's nonsense for you to imply that the three recounts where the outcome changed were somehow rigged, maybe before you repeat that you should look at the data for all 27 recounts and see how many Republicans were the winner both before and after the recount.

I will NEVER forgive your side for this theft of my vote. EVER.
But, you still have not explained your initial claim which was that "From 2000-2015 EVERY "recount" wound up going to Ds" PS you can't explain it because Bush won in 2000
Saw it on the news. 2000-2015 - every "recount" swung in the Ds favor.
Regarding the creep Franken, as I recall he was the deciding vote on a number of important national and international votes, so I will never forgive Dems for stealing my vote and pissing on my rights as a citizen and tarnishing my faith in this "democracy" forever.
It was never like this before. You would always vote on the Tuesday of the election, period.
I can understand if you're military or have a legitimate excuse, but this pre-Tuesday voting craze is stupid.
I'd rather see it a National holiday or something, but I DO NOT LIKE IT.
I also think there is more chances that election can be tampered with/manipulated.
Still fussing over that lost election on November 6th huh?
I vote by mail and wouldn't vote any other way. Its so much easier.
You think my ninety-seven year old mother should have had to go to a polling booth and physically vote there? Do you have even the slightest idea how much hardship the old voting laws worked on the elderly and physically handicapped who are just as entitled to vote as you are? Until you can provide real answers to my questions, your opinion is irrelevant.
We both know your real concern here is to jimmy up the republican or conservative vote. Sorry, that's not an acceptable excuse to stop voting by mail.
