2016 Postmortem

(2,064 posts)as "silly", I think there are some valid issues being raised, and they should be investigated. However, I doubt the current effort would do anything to alter the result and prevent Orange Julius from seizing power next month.
I think our blood, sweat, tears, and yes, money are better spent working to retake the Senate in 2018, if not the House as well, and sending Drumpf into retirement in 2020 with the election of a progressive President and a supportive Congress. We also have a great deal of work to do at the state & local level in those areas where we are currently out of power.
I don't see this effort as beneficial to the true tasks at hand. Furthermore, the voting shenanigans might best be uncovered by investigative journalists and friendly court venues, which would a;so provide sufficient time to bring these irregularities to light (a time-limited recount window will most likely prove fruitless). And if the media steps up and alerts the public to any uncovered violations of election law, you could see a progressive wave election the likes of which none of us has ever seen in this country.
