2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumWhat will happen IF after the recounts, the totals show Hillary won the lectoral College vote
in those three States? I honestly don't think it's nearly as easy as making a few phone calls and suddenly the Con lost and Hillary won. I visualize riots from the Con's followers. They've been sooo enthusiastic in "spiking the ball" and constantly demeaning the Hillary supporters.

(10,845 posts)... I don't hold out any hope anything will change. I don't even think the electors will revolt. Trump's already filed to stop the recount. Be even if it goes through, I doubt there will be any changes.

(45,806 posts)during this campaign, I'm willing to at least THINK about it. The majority opinion is with you, but then the majority believed the on could never be elected. How many different things did the on say that everybody was sure it would do him in. You probably right on this one, but I have to admit I'm ill at ease about the possibilities that could happen, especially since the on spend the last year ginning his followers up and nearly condoning violence.
I'm torn between hoping the recounts prove he didn't win, and all the violence that comes with that, and facing a horrible 4 years of despicable new laws and the good ones we have being torn apart.

(752 posts)I do have a bb gun somewhere, but the thought of arming myself for protection came to mind yesterday. I've always been proud of the fact that I'm brave enough not to want one, unlike pussies like Ted Nugent.
And Yes, it's ok to say pussies because it's presidential now. Among other things.

Not going to happen.
This recount is just one of the seven stages of grieving.
We need to get over it and start fighting for the future

(56,963 posts)It's that simple.
Obviously it's an uphill battle at best, but IF that is the result, it needs to be respected, and the ones responsible for the manipulation that gave the erroneous original result held responsible, because it will not be a coincidence if it is shown that there was manipulation in all three states. My fear is that manipulation will be shown, but not enough or in time. But wouldn't I love it IF......

(2,531 posts)The accusations of cheating in various ways came from both sides, I would be surprised if the electoral college can be overturned without digging deeper.
