I was a little mystified by the lack of focus in the heartfelt anti-Trump demonstrations on 11/9. We actually have a pretty good thing to go out in the streets to demand.
We can demand investigations and recounts in the bigger states that Obama won four years ago — and that gave Trump late razor-thin edges on 11/8. If he had lost by those edges he absolutely would have demanded investigations and recounts, and he would’ve probably been right to do so. That’s what we should be demanding.
If he had lost either Michigan, Pennsylvania or Wisconsin — he got tiny margins in those states — we would still not know who ‘won’ the election. If Hillary had won all three of those states, she would be visiting Obama today.
Anyway, we have something really worth demanding out on those streets. If this idea appeals to you, too, you don’t really need to comment below. Just help spread the word. Perhaps a real Influencer can make this real.
Here’s how I put it in a post elsewhere earlier today.
Trump won Florida by 1.4 percent.
Trump won Pennsylvania by 1.1 percent.
Trump won Michigan by 1 percent.
Obama won all three of these states four years ago.
In fact in Michigan he won 54.21% of the vote to Romney's 44.71%
Isn't it a miracle that all those Obama voters switched over to Trump?
I don't believe in miracles.
If any of those states had swung to Clinton, we still wouldn't know who was 'elected' and if all of them did, she would have won.
If Trump had lost any of those three states by those razor-thin margins, he'd be demanding recounts and investigations.
I don't really give a damn if Clinton doesn't want recounts and investigations.
I'm thinking that I do.
Again: Isn't it a miracle that ANY Obama voters switched over to Trump?
Much less the tens of thousands that had to to swing those three states.
I don't believe in miracles.
One last thing. I’d like to point to a post I wrote here on 7/30, titled Will The Russians Now Hack The American Election?
