Yes. In Michigan we must completely fill in ovals with a pen. There has been talk that a recount "should" look to see if there was a small mark in another oval to throw out ballots. How much do you want to bet a small ink speck in another oval will be argued as cause for tossing out a ballot where the entire oval is filled for Trump.

Shenanigans will abound from those that gave lectures on accepting results.

A recount??

What happened to the peaceful transition of power that Hillary and everyone else pounded telling us that it could disrupt democracy and all that?
Oh wait that was before Trump won and they asked him if he would concede when he lost..


Can we say "Sore Losers"?

Well Trump's new HHS secretary, Tom Price promises to repeal the ACA, privatize medicare and get rid of expanded medicaid within the first 6 months of Trump's presidency and he's accepted plenty of campaign contributions from the players who would benefit.

Trump is loading cabinet positions with billionaires and insiders:

Steve Mnuchin, treasury who is called the "foreclosure king"

Elaine Chao Transportation, McConnell's wife & former labor secretary under Bush

Betsy de Vos, Education, whose family owns Amway with a net family wealth of 5.1 billion

Wilbur Ross, Commerce Secretary, another billionaire called the "king of bankruptcy", he owned Sago Mine at the time of the explosion that killed 12 miners, afterwards he said this: In early 2006, the Sago coal mine owned by Ross exploded, triggering a collapse that killed a dozen miners. Federal safety inspectors in 2005 had cited the West Virginia mine with 208 violations. Ross said afterward that he knew about the safety violations but that the mine's management had assured him that it was a "safe situation."

I think if you asked the average Trump voter if that is what they thought 'draining the swamp' meant, they would probably disagree. I can't see that any of these people would do anything for the middle class, their lives have been built around filling their own coffers and if he let's them call the shots I think Democrats will be in charge by 2020.

The average voter has no idea who is appointed to anything. I would be less than 5% of Americans know more than one person who holds a cabinet level position. Not to mention most Americans are for repealing and replacing Obamacare.

You are grasping at straws.

Default Rendell: Stein recount effort 'a big waste of time'

Good article in the Philly papers about the possible Pennsylvania recount:

Rendell: Stein recount effort 'a big waste of time'

"Believe me if there was anything I could do to make Hillary Clinton the next president of the United States I would," said former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell, a longtime Clinton supporter. "But this is a big waste of time."

Former President Bill Clinton, meanwhile, has been poring over the election results, second-guessing decisions by top campaign aides and intensely trying to figure out how his wife lost the white working-class voters who were the base of his electoral coalition, say people familiar with the campaign.

Most people favor repealing Obamacare? Maybe in your alternate universe, but in a poll taken after the election Only a minority, 37 percent, want to repeal Obamacare altogether and start over, as Trump has promised to do

As far as your claim that few people know who holds a cabinet position, yeah that's probably true, but I think it's important to try to understand who is being appointed to those positions so you can get an idea of what policies they will propose, privatizing medicare, education funding, wage laws..those have a direct impact on our lives.

I'm already waiting to see the results showing "3 million illegals" who voted for Hillary!
About as sorry as you feel for disappointed Hillaryminions contributing to a recount in three states by a candidate who won less than 1% of the vote, for no reason other than "the results didn't turn out as we expected", and which is dismissed by even a number of Democrats as a waste of time and money?
