Recount Highly Unlikely to Change Result
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on Wednesday ordered the state’s counties to recount by hand all votes cast in the presidential race. Democrat Joe Biden led President Donald Trump by a little more than 14,000 votes as of Wednesday morning, and Trump has championed a recount. State election officials have said the recount is unlikely to erase President-elect Biden’s narrow lead. Raffensperger, a Republican, has been criticized by Trump supporters who have claimed without evidence that there was fraud.
The above from MarketWatch.
Recounts are seldom successful. A change of 14,000 votes would be amazing.
All a recount is likely to do is speed up recognition as to how hopeless this is for the Trump deniers.

Lefty Karl Rove in leftist WSJ says election is over
Karl Rove doesn’t have to run for re-election, so he can say what everybody else in the Republican Party knows full well, but is afraid to say. What a pack of morals-free, ethics-free cowards;.
Were all you fraudists asleep for the last decade???
Every investigation by the most determined Republican investigators have found literally nothing of significance..
Get it, either you’re too dumb to find it or there is nothing there.
Those are the two choices.
Meh… Georgia’s really close. I think a recount is perfectly reasonable.
If the fraud runs deep and is mostly concealed, a recount is probably useless. But crosschecking registered voters with deceased persons, and other methods of fraud would pretty much get to the bottom of the issue. Are the Republican accusations correct or not? The truth is the most important issue here.
The truth is….Trump is the biggest looser? He needs to go back to what he knows better…How to bamboozle people out of their savings….Viva Trump University.

Good God! Almost as many as attended a Biden rally.
Sorry – I’ll correct my earlier statement. Almost as many as legitimately VOTED for Biden.
Those that order the recount should do the recount or the’ll never SHUT UP.
Trump doing what he always said he would. Issue every challenge and create chaos. Follows his strategy pre white house
Very unlikely to change any results but Trump may not be after that. He may be hoping it’s not done on time and then get the legislature to cast the vote instead. It’s a hail mary for sure
Exactly, be familiar with 12A. Most people probably think Dem majority = Dem pres in the house, but it’s not so as it’s based on control of state legislature where GOP has a hammer-lock on the scorecard, if you will.
Looks like they might be able to drag this out until around the first week in December.
Lawsuits in 6 states, and from what I understand it would be around Dec 2nd before all states have their votes verified anyway.
Not a single suit has the slightest merit….not much chance of any change whatsoever in the current EC tally.
Trump no doubt has some fantasy about using Presidential power to overturn the election…..but it ain’t gonna happen.
Here are the people you are cuddling up with. Don’t think they won’t come for you. They will.

I would like to say that the Georgia Sec of State appears be very level-headed under pressure. I admire that.
Trump is due his recount. But I also believe Mish is correct – a recount that reverses MORE than 14k votes would be an extremely(!) long tail event. Might even be called … fraud.
Pretty likely since they counted 10’s of thousands of ballots in the wee hours of the morning after sending the republican monitors home. But I’m sure they counted them fairly.
Of all the recounts done nationwide over the past several years, none of them has found errors of more than several hundred votes. I doubt this time will be different.
Sure. Of course … that makes sense. “Hey everyone! We’re going to knock off for the night; Republicans, please exit the building. Don’t worry about all the Democrats hanging around, they’ll just get the door for you.”
How stupid.
The trumpltantrums won’t end until they’ve anointed a new messiah. Scott Baio seems a likely candidate.
Anxious to see Grandpa Joe with Alzheimers for Kamala the shrew in power? Keep sawing the branch your standing on you moron.
An incredibly irresponsible statement given the closeness to canceling a potential runoff for Perdue and a couple of hotly contested legislature races in the state
Don t worry Mish, a well organised, premeditated FRAUD will never be exposed !
… and yet another monkey will fly out your butt.
On the road with a terrible connection. Lost a post and some comments. Today may be a struggle. Back home tonight.
