Trumped?

Trump election: Request for Wisconsin vote recount sent - BBC News

Anyone reckon there's a serious chance the result could change? Or that maybe he'll lose one state? Or will this just be a damp squib?

Looking forward to seeing Donald's response to this...

Sounds like the nightmare sci-fi thing I watched were all electronic voting machines were rigged.

Anyway Hillary looks dead so if she won the electoral college it would kill her off.

Medium Posting from one of the people pushing for the recount.

He seems to think the most likely cause is dodgy polling but the American voting system doesn't sound very secure.

None. We're stuck with him.

If you were in business and going to hack the voting system you would ensure Hillary won.

If you were the Russians or Chinese you would ensure it was Trump.

If you were Assange and similar you would hack to prove both sides hacked.

I believe there is a Brexit thread already... Go use it

Seems very American you can request a recount, but only if you pay millions.

Personally I do use it, but can't let fabrication get away unanswered.

You can only stand for US President if you are incredibly wealthy anyway. A few million on a recount is neither here nor there.

Brexit posts have been relocated.

Slightly off topic but dealing with US election: Russians created fake news.

Wouldn't surprise me, those cheeky Ruskies

It isn't Clinton triggering the recount and the money was crowd-funded. Saying the only people wanting a recount are those running for president is pretty short-sighted.
