Of course. It won't cost Trump a nickel. He will raise funds from his idiot supporters. Statistical Nov 2020 #9

until the votes have been certified later in the month. Dec 1 is what I heard on CNN.

I don't think they'd find 20,000 votes anyway.

I'll believe it when their check clears. I do think it's likely, but depending on how the chips fall he may just continue to be all talk...

so, it will be a week or so before they can officially request one.

I hope they put the money up front before the state gets into it, though. We all know how Trump is at paying bills.

Probably get $10M spend $2.5M on the recount and grift the rest.

Think Jill Stein but with more desperate (and gullible) people.
