A reversal of a few counties in the recounts could change the President-elect

Trump camp seems nervous and they are doing all they can to make the recounts stop. One thing they have going for them is the media is pretending as if these recounts are not even happening and ignoring the gigantic breaking news it will be if the results were reversed. All three states are showing signs that Hillary may have lost thousands of votes due to machine undercounts (misreading), ballot count tampering at precinct level, or potential outright frauds. All the scientific polls and exit polls all pointed to an easy win for Hillary, specially in these 3 states and the election scientists that called for the recounts in these specific states have seen something weird in their post election data analysis and something just is not adding up...I have a feeling the recounts will unearth something in the results tabulation and it won't bee good news to Trump.

Practically? I think we were blindsided, and had the mentality that "surely they wouldn't ever try again what they did in 2000 and 2004?" Oh, yes they would, and conceivably did. But if that is the case, you had better believe they were/are prepared to be found out and will fight with every means at their disposal, including direct violence, to prevent their "victory" from being overturned.

As for Trump, from his bevavior since the election, I'd bet that right up until Election Day, he hadn't the foggiest clue that he could possibly "win" this. It would have been engineered by people with a far greater understanding of how this country works than Trump ever had, or will have--people who are not billionaires, but now see their way clear to becoming billionaires.

There is absolutely no truth to your statement that all 3 states are showing signs due to machine error. Wisconsin is the only one that has started the recount. One scientist has been noted in the petitions pending. Have you read what he wrote? I was disappointed. There were a lot of might have and we feel that.... nothing firm. Nothing legal. Very very sad.
