Former Republican Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker suggested in a tweet Wednesday that Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s lead in the crucial battleground state was too steep to be overturned in a recount.

“After recount in 2011 race for WI Supreme Court, there was a swing of 300 votes,” Walker, a Trump ally, tweeted. “After recount in 2016 Presidential race in WI, @realDonaldTrump numbers went up by 131. As I said, 20,000 is a high hurdle.”

1. Sounds like he got humbled.

3. Many of the GOP politicians are, behind the scenes, intelligent people capable of reason

which makes their manipulative anti-intellectualism all the more despicable. Most of these clowns believe in science of all stripes; they just put their bank account ahead of it.

2. Good. Thank you. This was a concern.

4. ?? This from Scott Walker, no less.

Well it's true, actually.
20,000 is uncontestable at this point.

Truest thing Walker ever said.

7. And By The Way, My Experience With Recounts Says.....

.........that 99% of the time there’s a recount, the Democrat GAINS votes. Al Franken won after a recount erased his opponent’s small lead. And in all the Bush recounts, his opponent gained votes.

When recounts happen, the numbers only change slightly, and almost always in favor of Democrats (which should tell you something ELSE as well—why do we ALWAYS find more votes for Democrats when we start counting more carefully?)

9. Well, this is a surprise (no sarcasm)

10. Walker knows a few things about recounts

When Evers kicked his ass Walker knew that the law he and his party created (a measure mandating that recounts would be allowed only when candidates are projected to be within 1 percentage point of each other. Walker lost by 1.2 percent). Too fucking funny. (and by the way, fuck you Walker.)
