Then let us count, compare the reported count to what we see.  Ja?

Many of these have had problems with corruption on a mainly state and local basis for decades; rigging their presidential results is, relative to their existing problems, a side show for them… Adrian

 

Adrian thanks, and please sir, am I the only one who sees how damn dangerous this is?  What if it had come out the other way?  Or what if we do a recount, but only count those votes which have some kind of physical proof.  Cannot we reverse the result?  Why not?  Let us try it, shall we?  What have we to lose?  I will tell you what we have to gain: credibility of a process that looks shady to me.  So how do we do it?  Who is objecting?  Why?
