Trump Says on Twitter He Also Won Popular Vote in Election

In tweets Sunday about the push to force recounts in three states, President-elect Donald Trump claimed he would have won the nation’s popular vote if it weren’t for the “millions of people who voted illegally”.

On NBC’s “Meet the Press”, Conway said Stein, “the Hillary people” and others supporting recounts have to decide whether they are going to back a peaceful transition “or if they’re going to be a bunch of crybabies and sore losers about an election that they can’t turn around”.

Stein’s campaign last Wednesday launched a fundraising effort to finance vote recounts in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and MI, all of which Trump apparently won by narrow margins.

The Trump campaign has dismissed the recount as little more than a publicity stunt.

This is not Florida 2000.

The amusing thing about his wild, and frankly pathetic, flailing is that if there were millions of people who voted illegally, that in and of itself would justify a recount; the very thing that he is spending his time railing against. Yet even if the Court had allowed the recount to proceed, the margin would not have swung by much.

He said, “The people have spoken and the election is over”.

This is not Minnesota 2008, where a recount gave Democrat Al Franken a 225-vote win over Republican Norm Coleman, reversing Coleman’s initial lead of 215 votes.

At the debate, Clinton had called Trump’s answer “horrifying” and “a direct threat to our democracy”. That is one heck of a claim, and on its face could argue for a nationwide recount and audit of the vote.

Trump’s former campaign manager Kellyanne Conway told ABC on Sunday that the tycoon might rethink his vow not to seek Clinton’s prosecution for using a private email server as secretary of state.

Wisconsin has found no evidence of voting machine tampering or other foul play, state officials told The Washington Times. If Democrats keep getting popular vote majorities, as is nearly certainly the case in future presidential elections, the great danger is that this will permanently jade voters – deepening the perception that the process is unfair, even “rigged”, – and this will badly taint the notion of what and how a true democracy should work when it comes to elections.

Elias said the campaign had “not uncovered any actionable evidence of hacking or outside attempts to alter the voting technology”. Clinton was reportedly “inconsolable” after her election loss.

Hillary Clinton’s campaign counsel confirmed that they will continue to perform their due diligence and actively follow up on any further activities that occur prior to the certification of any election results.

Trump has vacillated in his support for the Electoral College.

Haas noted that “Wisconsin has the most decentralized election system” in the country.

You don’t have to take my word for it: The Wisconsin Elections Commission confirmed on Friday that the recount will indeed take place. We’ve had free – – Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 27, 2016 and fair elections. “You lost the popular vote by 2.5 million. you’ll have to live with that”.

In a video message released ahead of the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday, Trump said he hoped it would be a time for Americans “to begin to heal our divisions” following a “long and bruising political campaign”. Ironically, Mr. Trump’s claim of illegal votes is the reason it may be necessary. But one thing is for sure: Donald Trump is lying to himself and to the American public in an extremely risky move for an incoming American president. Believe me. And we know it’s a rigged system.
