In reply to the discussion: Judge denies request for hand recount of Wisconsin's presidential election results [View all]forthemiddle
(1,459 posts)14. The Judge asked the expert if it had ever happened in Wisconsin
And the hacking expert had to admit that it had never happened. So without proof you can't go on "it's possible".
53 of our 72 counties are hand counting, so if anything funky shows up I am sure that could be brought back to the court for reconsideration. It is my understanding though that Milwaukee (the biggest area of the state) is not hand counting, but using the machines. So if someone lives in Milwaukee county they may want to call the Clerk and voice your complaint.
My biggest question isn't Wisconsin, but Michigan and Pennsylvania. How are they possibly going to get the recount done before 12/13/16 as required by Federal law?

OP
I'm betting any counties that do count by hand will find evidence of padding or other for Trump.

There were at least 3 counties and mistakes at each favored Trump. Coincidence? Doubt it.

That doesn't in any way match the 5K votes padded on to Trump's total & only removed AFTER
