Here's a disturbing thread about the Wisconsin recount and a way we can still save it. #RecountWI #AuditTheVote
1. The difference in Wisconsin is currently about 22,000 votes, or 0.75%. #RecountWI
2.Optical scanning computers in WI, esp. ES&S DS-200, too often fail to count votes where voter intent could be discerned by hand #RecountWI
3. In Florida, due to voting machines, a shocking 1.67% of the people wearing an I Voted sticker actually didn't. #RecountWI
4. In Michigan, where the margin is only 11,000 votes, there are 75,000 not counted votes in Detroit alone. #RecountWI
5. Hand counts will identify and include legal votes missed by the machine; anyone who says otherwise is simply wrong.
6. Contrary to popular belief, recounting is faster by hand than to feed thousands of ballots through the machines one at a time. #RecountWI
7. 47 of 72 counties chose faster/more reliable method of hand recount.But 25 using same unreliable machines as on election night #RecountWI
8. This violates the Equal Protection Clause central to Bush v. Gore in 2000: similar ballots must be counted in the same way. #RecountWI
9. Hand counts are being used in predominantly white counties.Unreliable machines r used in counties w/large minority populations #RecountWI
10. We the People can help file a fed suit to force all WI counties to count by hand. We must ensure all votes are counted fairly #RecountWI
11. Please RT! Long list of severe issues in #RecountWI & efforts by Trump to block recount call for federal lawsuit
