(74 posts)Even if the results are overturned in Wisconsin, and Michigan goes to Hillary, PA is a problem and that's all Drumpf needs to win.
PA recount explained (before Jill Stein requested a recount), many PA voting machines have no paper trail:
"A candidate cant actually file for a vote recount under Pennsylvania law. Instead, they would have to challenge a county board regarding its vote computations, and a state appeals judge would have to rule that a statewide recount is necessary. That means the Clinton campaign would either have to request a recount by petition in every voting district or present a prima facie case showing voter fraud. (Prima facie is a lower threshold than beyond a reasonable doubt. A judge would just have to rule that fraud probably occurred in order to call for a recount.)
Leading up to the election, it was Trump and his supporters who faced criticism for claiming this could happen in Pennsylvania. The president-elect, just weeks before the election, told a crowd in Altoona that the only way he could lose Pennsylvania is if cheating went on. Voter fraud is generally uncommon, and voting irregularities that do occur are often the result of clerical errors that wouldnt add up to amount to 70,000 votes.
The Clinton campaign would have to present the equivalent of probable cause evidence showing something much more sinister."
