10. Question about the recount:

Thu Dec 1, 2016, 09:37 PM

Dec 2016

All three states would need to flip in order to overturn the election. So, if the first one falls through, whether because Hair Fuehrer's lead is maintained, or his Michigan challenge is upheld, or whatever, will Jill Stein drop the rest of it? Will it be all over at that point? I haven't read anything about any of the "what ifs."
