Nah, it's there, some simply refuse to even acknowldege. Not saying it's enough, but it's definitely there.

Just. Stop.

No.

I get why the winner would want it to stop. I'm not one to beat this into the ground but it needs to be looked into. This is exactly what recounts are for. If nothing happened, then the D's shouldn't care if there is a recount in certain states, right? Look, IMO, Biden is harmless and what happens at a national level rarely impacts my life. I'm more concerned about what happens next. There are A LOT of people wondering if voting is even worth it given what happened in Michigan, heck even what happend in a a local House race where the incumbent (D) was losing until a county "found" just enough votes for her to get the victory.

Nobody, including me, is against a recount. But unless it's close like Georgia, the candidate needs to pay for it...these things are expensive...and they rarely change more than a couple hundred votes.

And pretty much all states are still counting ballots, whether provisional, or legally arriving mail ballots from military, etc. Nobody is saying to stop counting those. States don't need to certify anything yet.

lol....suddenly your worried about cost? Classic. Most of these states havent even finished the original count. How about we just wait and see where this goes. If there is nothing to it--then Im sure Trump will concede just like every other candidate once they see no path to 270. There are lots of oddities and this is the most widespread and massive use of mail in ballots we have ever seen in the nation. The security protocols, which is some states were relaxed due to Covid, have never been pressed into use at this kind of level. Im fine with making sure there was no significant fraud....especially in a year when it would take relatively little fraud to swing an election.
