This why USA needs more parties.. I wonder why
« on: November 24, 2016, 03:28:20 PM »
No one in the democratic party challenged or asked for a recount in states where Trump win was razor thin. Even today I think Michigan votes are still getting tallied up. The separation in Wisconsin, Florida, PA was so small and these states have a rule that if the win is by less than 0.5% a the candidate can request a recount for free.

Hillary wanted to save face so quickly that she exited the stage in a huff.. or may be her agents recounted and decided she had lost

Hillary is kicking a dying horse. She should gracefully retire from politics.

Hillary and her team spent how many hours blasting Trump for alleging that the elections would be rigged? Now for her to turn around and claim she was rigged out would make her a laughing stock.

But I suspect she could have had a small chat with Jill Stein of the Green Party. Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania are now going for a full recount/audit as demanded and paid for by the Green Party after crowd sourcing the necessary funds.

That and the elimination of the Electoral College.  That won't pass constitutional muster since the smaller rural overwhelmingly red states that disproportionately benefit from it will never vote for it.  But there are ongoing moves among some states to ensure that in the future they award their electoral college votes to the winner of the popular vote http://www.nationalpopularvote.com/.
