I'm curious whether the Trump campaign will pony up the necessary funds to get a recount in Wisconsin:
"President Donald Trump's campaign would have to pay nearly $8 million to start a recount in Wisconsin, a state he narrowly lost two weeks ago.
Trump will have to decide by Wednesday whether to carry through with the recount he has promised to pursue.

@metal-brain saidPardon me for asking, but - If Donald J Trump is the successful multi billionaire businessman he claims to be, then why does he need contributions to a legal fund? I don't see Michael Bloomberg, Bill Gates, or Warren Buffett shaking their tin cups, soliciting dollars to pay their lawyers. A few million bucks to finance a state recount or pay his own legal bills would be petty cash for most rich people.

Equally obviously, my rationality-bone says the world is a better place without right-wing scum running it. And a much better place without trump and his cronies...

@no1marauder saidMy point is: there shouldn’t be a recount if it’s above a certain margin.
Wisconsin law is as follows:
"Who pays for a requested recount?
Varies. The state pays for recounts where the margin is less than 10 votes if 4,000 or fewer votes are cast. For elections where more than 4,000 votes are cast, the margin is less than or equal to 0.25% of the total vote. If the margin is greater than those covered by the state, the requester pays.
Is a ...[text shortened]... ose. Trump lost Wisconsin by a bit more than .6% so he has to pay for the recount if he requests it.
@mchill saidI wonder the same thing. That is why I suspect a scam.
