President-elect Donald Trump has won Michigan's 16 electoral votes.
The Board of State Canvassers certified Trump's 10,704-vote victory on Monday, nearly three weeks after the election. The two-tenths of a percentage point margin out of nearly 4.8 million votes is the closest presidential race in Michigan in more than 75 years.
Green Party candidate Jill Stein is expected to ask for a recount. She has until Wednesday. Trump would have seven days to file objections to her request.
I think that's just Trump playing offense. He didn't make it an issue until after the recount effort. So rather than just sitting back and waiting for the recount issue to resolve itself he's putting down markers to pursue if the recount somehow goes against him. Just signaling that he's willing to punch back twice as hard.

That's one possibility but Trump has sent another 5 tweets in the last 4 hours which all make unsubstantiated claims of massive voter fraud in Hillary Clinton's favor. I think it's also possible that his ego just can't handle the fact that more people may have voted for his opponent than for him even though it doesn't matter in the outcome of the election. I've never seen anyone complain so much about fraud in an election they won.

What does 'abused' mean?
I agree with your observation about radio rock bands being simplistic.
Asshurt? Hardly. Just calling out an arrogant poster that has no call to be so arrogant. Actually you are quite boring truth be told. You offer little to music conversation except obscure groups that nobody has ever heard of and act like you have found the Holy Grail.
Bor.....ing.
Sack up. Funny. Look in the mirror, johnny.
Art is subjective. Always has been, always will be. You act very snobbish and arrogant about it sometimes. Case in point, see above.Funny coming from someone who writes off entire genres of music. Just because you can't dig past top 40 doesn't make me obsessed with the obscure. I just know what I'm talking about, is all. I live and breath music. You fly planes. Stick to what you know.

I "dig past top 40" but like eating Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches, I don't have to listen to Kanye or other hip hop to know it sucks - in my opinion. Contrary to what you think about me - and I really don't care all that much - I listened to some of the stuff that you pointed me towards a few months back. Some of it was OK. Some was crap - in my opinion. Doesn't make me wrong, because guess what - a lot of other people feel the same way. Listening to something I don't enjoy doesn't make me enlightened. It's like drinking Chardonnay. You can have my glass.
OK stud. you win.You say all this but you fault me for listening to obscure stuff. I know the classics. Probably know them better than you do, but because I also listen to stuff you have never heard of or don't like, I must be pretentious.
Look up arrogance in the dictionary before throwing it around so easily. Again, this all started because you couldn't post without expressing your fixation on me. I wouldn't want to be called out on ny latent obsessions either.
I prefer my white wines to be bold, but there are Loire valley chards that pair wonderfully with corbia and swordfish. Pethaps better than almost any wines.
A Wisconsin judge refused on Tuesday to order local election workers to conduct the state's upcoming presidential recount completely by hand Tuesday, finding that nothing suggests the state's electronic tabulating machines have been hacked.
Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein has been trying to make the case that Wisconsin's tabulating machines could have been compromised in a cyberattack and a hand recount is the only way to tell for sure. But Dane County Circuit Court Judge Valerie Bailey-Rihn concluded Stein's attorneys failed to show any hard evidence the machines were attacked and are unreliable.
Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton by about 22,000 votes in Wisconsin, but Stein has alleged -- without evidence -- that the results may have been hacked. She asked for a recount last week, saying the state needs to be sure.
Sounds like you have accepted the results rather well.The American people deserve a recount.
They deserve a recount because the Postmodernist-elect himself has said that millions of people voted illegally for Hillary and that he really won the popular election too.
The American people deserve to know how much the soon to be Moral Relativist-in-Chief won the popular vote by, thus confirming how welcoming us Americans are of spray tans, Goldman Sachs, Twitter whining, and conflict of interests.

In your darkest hours, you should find some comfort in that.I knew it was coming. It is the inevitable endpoint of liberal democracy under consumerist capitalism, just as postmodernism is the inevitable endpoint of modernity.
As I told my wife the other day, once Middle America - the moral backbone of this country - looks you straight in the face, tells you up is down and down is up, and, most importantly, knows very well that that is exactly what it's doing, the whole gig - the entire thing - is pretty much over.
It's all the endgame of postmodernism, and Americans have elected the most postmodern presidency one could imagine. The only thing that gives me some solace is that the majority of Americans did not elect such a morally and intellectually vacuous clown show.
