It's a wonder that people on the left are still able to function each day. There is just so much bad news for them. A good example of this is today's pair of conflicting stories.
First, Jill Stein, the Green Party presidential candidate is raising money to fund recount efforts in a few states. She announced that she had gathered more than 1.1 million bucks to fund the recount in Wisconsin. Stein has to raise the cash because a losing candidate like Stein has to fund the recount in most cases. The left wing media is starting to get excited about this effort. OOOOOhhh, maybe the recount will show that the votes were not counted correctly the first time. This is not like Florida in 2000 where the margin was 529 votes or less than .01% of the votes cast. No, this is in states like Wisconsin where the margin for Trump was over 18,000 votes, or roughly 1% of the total votes cast. There's no way a recount will change the outcome. But it doesn't matter. The left is still clinging to the hope that continuing the election battle will flip the results. It's even funny that Jill Stein (whose candidacy probably cost Hillary Clinton the election) is the vehicle that the left is using to keep on fighting.
The second news item of the day is that the results in Michigan have now been officially certified and the 16 electoral votes from the state will go to Trump. That makes Trump's lead in the Electoral College 306 to 232. It took until now for the official Michigan vote announcement because since the day after the election, the counties in Michigan have been reviewing and certifying the vote count. What this means is that for a recount to have any effect, at least three state results would have to be flipped in the outcome. No one in their right mind would believe that three different states will change their results after an recount.
