Michigan Certifies Trump as victor of State’s Presidential Race
But she still aims to raise $800,000 more to cover fees for attorneys and other personnel needed to oversee the recount, said an official with her campaign. If millions of people had voted illegally, wouldn’t it follow that at least some of those votes came from Wisconsin, Michigan, or Pennsylvania?
Mr Trump won Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, and as of Wednesday, held a lead of nearly 11,000 votes in MI, with the results awaiting state certification.
Because a much closer vote in the electoral college final tally coupled with the constant screams from the Party of Death that Hillary won the popular vote serves as ammunition to delegitimize a Trump agenda.
Trump is the first Republican presidential nominee to win MI since 1988.
Jill Stein, who has been leading a recount effort in three states that were won by Trump has until Wednesday to file a Recount Request with Michigan’s Secretary of State. A majority of the American electorate, it turns out, did not support Trump, and he only won via an institution, the Electoral College, that he once deemed “a disaster for a democracy”.
Earnest cited new daily commercial flights from the U.S.to the island, as well as a surge of other US investment allowed under new regulations.
Either the man’s a liar or he is so deeply gullible and unintelligent that he is now tweeting if millions of people had not voted illegally, he would have won the popular vote, which is now behind with by a margin of 2,200,000 votes. “Virginia’s election was well administered by our 133 professional local registrars, with help from hundreds of election officials and volunteers who worked to guarantee a good experience for eligible Virginia voters”, he said in a statement.
But the primary author of the Pew study said fraud was not a factor. The nation’s election system is decentralized, a patchwork of state laws whose differences would be almost impossible to target on a large scale, said Wendy Weiser, director of the Democracy Program at the nonpartisan Brennan Center for Justice.
President-elect Donald Trump is threatening to end the detente with Cuba initiated by the Obama administration.
One reason it’s hard to keep registrations up to date is that each state has its own system, plus safeguards to make sure people don’t inadvertently get unregistered.
If a recount happens in MI, all 4,799,284 presidential race votes will be counted by hand at the county level under state supervision.
But it’s unclear if the courts would have authority to do so. The Republican beat Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton by just two tenths of a percent, 47.6% to 47.4%.
Stein, too, hasn’t provided evidence of voting irregularities. The Board of Canvassers will hear arguments on the challenge and rule within five days, meaning a recount may not start until December 12 – just one week before the electoral college meets.
Cybersecurity experts have urged Hillary Clinton to ask for a recount in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin to ensure hackers had not tampered with the results, and Klayman accused her of trying to overturn the election results. Each state’s electors gather in their respective capitals on December 19 to cast their states’ votes for the victor of that state. As of noon Monday, according to Wasserman’s calculations, Clinton led Trump by roughly 2.24 million votes – specifically, 64.65 million for Clinton, 62.41 million for Trump, and 7.19 million for other candidates.
Texas electors meet in Austin next month to vote for president.
In Wisconsin, meanwhile, the state elections commission on Monday approved a timeline to start a recount on Thursday.
One was a 2012 Pew Center on the States study whose author denies that it found any evidence of voter fraud.
Fractures in the Trump transition team were noted by Conway in a tweet on Thanksgiving Day. The Trump campaign provided NPR with a 45-page document listing instances of voter fraud, intimidation, and registration fraud (some of which are only listed as alleged instances), going back more than a decade.
