In most states, a top-2 candidate can request a recount if the vote is within a certain amount of percentage points.

I foresee a recount in both GA and WI. But, as has been touched on many times, recounts usually only show a few hundred or less changed ballots in a general election.

They're also incredibly expensive, and the Trump campaign is about dry.

Biden needs to win about 65% of the remaining ballots in GA to win that state. Very reachable based on what and where they are from.

Okay so there isn’t a “mandatory” recount if a result is incredibly close?

Sounds legit. If Nevada doesn't count votes from Democrats there's a good chance Trump would win. I see his logic.

I like how lobster says “if it does not go to Trump,” and not something like “if there’s valid objective concern for the vote totals.”

Who’s trying to rig the election, again?

I think Georgia gets counted if it’s .5 percentage points difference.

The funny thing is, when you sort of look around at how everything has gone since about the Garland block...if it was possible to get away with actually rigging an election, the GOP would do it.

After just hearing from a very reliable source - I predict the election will not "officially" be decided until in to December. I really hope he and I am wrong.
