https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/524464-scott-walker-suggests-bidens-wisconsin-lead-too-big-for-recount?__twitter_impression=true&__twitter_impression=true&__twitter_impression=trueFormer Republican Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker suggested in a tweet Wednesday that Democratic presidential nominee Joe Bidens lead in the crucial battleground state was too steep to be overturned in a recount.
After recount in 2011 race for WI Supreme Court, there was a swing of 300 votes, Walker, a Trump ally, tweeted. After recount in 2016 Presidential race in WI, @realDonaldTrump numbers went up by 131. As I said, 20,000 is a high hurdle.

(15,325 posts)Well it's true, actually.
20,000 is uncontestable at this point.
Truest thing Walker ever said.

When recounts happen, the numbers only change slightly, and almost always in favor of Democrats (which should tell you something ELSE as wellwhy do we ALWAYS find more votes for Democrats when we start counting more carefully?)

(4,434 posts)When Evers kicked his ass Walker knew that the law he and his party created (a measure mandating that recounts would be allowed only when candidates are projected to be within 1 percentage point of each other. Walker lost by 1.2 percent). Too fucking funny. (and by the way, fuck you Walker.)
