The Trump campaign will officially request a recount in Wisconsin after all votes in the state were counted, allegedly giving former Vice President Joe Biden the upper hand.
“Despite ridiculous public polling used as a voter suppression tactic, Wisconsin has been a razor thin race as we always knew that it would be. There have been reports of irregularities in several Wisconsin counties which raise serious doubts about the validity of the results. The President is well within the threshold to request a recount and we will immediately do so," Trump 2020 campaign manager Bill Stepien released in a statement Wednesday afternoon.
Joe Gumm, MSc @JoeGummKXXV · 36m UPDATE: The Antrim County Clerk’s Office in Michigan told me the election program it used (Election Source) had issues and the office is now reviewing 16,047 total votes. The source I spoke with said she believes 33 other counties used the program. #postelection2020
I'm planning to write a letter to my state senator and state representative about doing something legislatively with the mess in the Fulton County Georgia elections office. They stopped counting last night and are now the only office in the state of Georgia with outstanding precincts still uncounted (13 precincts as of now).
Trump still holds about an 84K vote lead in the state, but it was reported at 11 AM this morning that there are still about 200,000 outstanding absentee, early, and provisional votes to be counted. The vote totals on the Secretary of State's website have gone up since then, so that number has been shrinking. Erick Erickson, the political commentator and talk show host said before his morning show ended that he felt Trump would have enough votes to get him over the top here.
The other good news is that the 50% + 1 vote rule that I mentioned last night applies to all single winner elections in Georgia EXCEPT for presidential electors. Sorry about that. If Trump wins by 1 vote even if it's less than 50%, we're good here.

Vote don't need to be recounted, they need to be audited to uphold its integrity.

^^^^ Don’t be an ass. Every example you just used has been shot down by others.
Sticking to facts, having just reviewed the PA Dept of State raw numbers, the polling centers that haven’t 100% reported in yet are in Conservative counties. Further, even if all of the remaining mail-ins in Allegheny, Philadelphia and Montgomery counties go for Biden and the ratio of mail-in ballots hold for the remainder, Trump takes PA. Unless more ballots are suddenly found, such as in MI.

Beside holding the Senate, another silver-lining of sorts....
If there ends up being a tie or some breakdown in the electoral college as a result of Court actions, who decides? The House, buy a vote of State Delegations
Republicans also held that line, and currently will have 26 state delegations with three still undecided. Next few weeks (months?) are going to be crazy.
It ain't over til it's over!

Rush says ABC took AZ down from Biden's name.

You know I don't mean all of them, but just a huge enough number of them to make the election goes the way it's going. Sickening.

I am so hoping that "they" called it wrong for Az to go to Biden. I just have to believe in my heart that Az. will/did go for Trump, and Martha McSally.

And wasn't the media just going apeshit over the idea of Trump doing this before it was all over?

Hang in there folks. It's going to be a bit bumpy for a few days but Trump is going to pull this out. It is clear, like many of us were pointing out yesterday and earlier today that AZ was called way too early, regardless of the condescending "I'm sorry" apologist from the Fox "decision desk". I swear both Brett and Martha looked like they wanted to smack that guy after giving him multiple opportunities to provide a caveat.
My prediction for when everything is said and done is Trump 285 and Biden 253 with Trump picking up AK, GA, NC, PA, NV and AZ, with MI still a possibility as well which would change my totals to an even higher Trump victory.
Keep the faith!

Just tell him he won the senate race in Puerto Rico. All will be good.
