Why Is Trump Fighting So Hard to Stop the Recount in Michigan? A mere .22% [View all]

A mere 0.22 percent separates the candidates, and thousands of ballot machines recorded no presidential pick.


The Trump campaign called the recount an “electoral farce,” ignoring that it has been filed in a state where its candidate leads Hillary Clinton by almost 11,000 out of 4.8 million votes cast, the smallest margin of the final three states that gave Trump an Electoral College majority after election night. (The Green Party is also seeking recounts in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. Wisconsin began its recount Thursday, while challenges continue in Pennsylvania as the Green Party is filing local petitions at county election boards.)
