Michigan's elections board on Friday will consider President-elect Donald Trump's request to block a hand recount of all 4.8 million ballots cast in the state he won by about 10,700 votes over Hillary Clinton. link

The more he protests, the more I think that there might actually be something to hide. How can he, or anybody in his campaign, not see that this is how it looks? Stein is a "bottom-dwelling candidate?" Sure. There is no way she could come to any advantage by a recount? Definitely. She's only trying to raise her own profile? Quite likely. But if everything is on the up-and-up with the numbers, Trump, why on earth do you care how other people squander their money? It's not like it's your money, or even government money, so what difference does it make?

Preparations for the recount are going forward. I did an online training thingy last night so that I can be an observer at the local recount center. Right now, the recount is set to start Wednesday and run either until it's done or until the 13th, whichever comes first. The impression I got is that the delays may mean that the whole thing doesn't get done even with running 10-12 hours a day including the weekends.

Thank you for doing this!

I think he does NOT have any idea how he looks from the outside. He says so many contradictory things, and doesn't even seem to realize he is undermining himself (and unfortunately, a big share of the population doesn't notice or doesn't case that he doesn't make any sense...which is why we are here in the first place).
