I know we want to blame Snyder for everything, but the pothole on my street in a subdivision is not his responsibility. My local county has a budget and they are limited on where revenue comes from. If Stein wants a recount, she should step up and offer to pay the entirety.

While I was shocked and dismayed Trump won, I believe the voters have spoken and we need to worry about the midterms. It is possible that Hillary just lost and it wasn't stolen or hacked. Those that do believe that aren't going to accept the results of the recounts anyway.
