Interesting theory on why Democrats are pushing recount.

This came from a blog at The American Thinker:
quote:
The recount in Wisconsin, and the coming ones in Michigan and Pennsylvania will not change the outcomes in any of the states. No recount ever changes thousands of votes. I do not think that is the purpose.
The recounts, if done by hand, which can be demanded, may take longer than the last day for completing the official counts in a state and directing Electoral College voters. If all 3 states miss the deadline, Trump is at 260, Hillary at 232. No one hits 270.
Then this goes to Congress, where the House voting 1 vote per state elects Trump, and Senate selects Pence. This would be first time Pthis happened since 1824, but in that case, John Quincy Adams won in the House, though he had fewer electoral college votes than Andrew Jackson.
If this goes to the US House and Senate, and the result is the same as result from the Electoral College without the recounts, why do it? The answer is to make Trump seem even more illegitimate, that he did not win the popular vote (he lost by over 2.1 million), he did not win the Electoral College (did not reach 270), and was elected by being inserted into the presidency by members of his own party in Congress.

Plausible.
POS progressives are all about the long game.
Of course, it's a sad statement that an election decided under the provisions of the Constitution can be cast as illegitimate.

Not really. Trump won the states in question by fairly comfortable margins.
If anything, this hurts the pathetic cabal of freaks AKA the Democratic Party.

No one is going to care if the recounts take too long and Congress has to basically affirm the initial counts. This is actually more likely to have opposite of the intended effect - I'm even more disgusted by the democratic party than I was before they wanted recounts.

Seems reasonable, not sure it will happen.

People will see libs as the little kid pitching a fit and having to be carried out the store. The harder they push this trash the madder people get.

Just politics in 2016. It hurts Trump with people that held their nose and voted for him and it keeps the left motivated. Its how shite works these days.

And vice versa. At the national level when you lose you scorch the earth.

Not being seen as legitimate seems to one of Trump's greatest fears and appears to be his Achille's Heel. That's probably the reason for these tweets coming out where he seems to be obsessed with fact Hillary has about 2,500,000 more votes than him.
