Careful what you wish for Michigan.
Trump would have seven days to file objections to her request.
Trump: Millions voted illegally. Therefore, I maintain that there is no reason for a recount in Michigan. head asplode
Well. I won’t bother to limit myself to UAW made American cars anymore. It won’t make any difference, but will release me from wanting to do my bit to help US industries and union workers. If they don’t care about their well-being (Macomb Co.) why should anyone else? It is kind of liberating. Anyone recommend a decent AWD crossover vehicle?
The number of people who left the POTUS bubble blank in Mich is double that of 2012. So either there was a significant number of undervotes, or an enormous number of people couldn’t give a damn and thought, y’know, HRC was too shrill or something, so, y’know, f**k everything.
Wait! can he count to seven?
I understand your sentiment. My family has only purchased American-made cars since the 1950s. My Dad, who was a proud union steward, thought it was our responsibility to support other union industries. My mother even “checked for the union label” when buying Christmas and birthday presents. We’ll see how well the Michigan unions do under President Trump . . . . .
I grew up i what is now Michigan’s 5th congressional district. Trump won 4 of the 5 counties included in the 5th (Genesee, Saginaw, Bay, Arenac and Iosco), but Congressman Dan Kildee (Dem) won over 61% of the vote. Even knowing that western chunks (mostly white) of Saginaw and Genesee counties are in another district (the 4th, where the republican won 194k to 111k), it’s still weird that Kildee easily won reelection (195k to 111k), while Clinton won approx 175.2 thousand votes to Trump’s approx 170.8 thousand votes in those five counties.
Which means there were approx 45 thousand votes in those counties, which were cast outside the 5th district – to make the math work. so of the approx 306 thousand votes cast in the 5th district, at least 20 thousand voters voted for the incumbent dem congressman, but didn’t vote for Clinton in a heavily and historically democratic, pro-union, and heavily african-american (in the case of Saginaw and Flint) district. That strikes me as odd.
Given the historically high unfavorability ratings of both DT and HRC, this is not surprising. This increased refusal to vote for either candidate probably occurred in most of the states.
Which can be easily verified with a recount … isn’t reason an awesome tool!?!
WOW I can’t wait!
