the state supreme court filing by trumpfuhrer transition team will probably put a hold on things to hinder recount till to late. Dec 17, the electoral college will make it's verdict known.

by the State Supremes. No one should hold their breath, though - this court is notoriously right wing. Another tidbit: SoS Ruth Johnson asked the Board of Canvassers for a machine recount, that was also denied. As of this moment the HAND recount should proceed sometime next week. Will look for a link.

I just hope by some miracle of the ages, that the recounts prove that the vote in these states was manipulated and that HRC was voted into office by other than the 'popular' vote. Then we'll watch the people of trumpistan react. I bet a short period of violence and extreme petulant whining ensues followed by a majority of the swamp things going back to their home.

"We don't need a reason - we have rules". A state worker once said this to my son. Seriously.
