You weren't good enough to play collegiate, but killed it in rec ball.
now over a million vote difference. amazing how people were able to project that at 8 pm on the 8th instead of waiting a week amidst confusion and chaos.
Gore'S popular vote margin was almost exactly one half of one percent. And even that number was in flux for weeks after the election as straggling votes continued to be counted. If you really believe the Florida recount wouldn't have gone national with such a small and changing margin, I don't know what to tell you.The same goes for 2016. Hillary's current margin is .45%. And they're still counting votes! Now you can predict that Hillary's margin will continue to grow, and you may likely be right, but if you're really telling yourself that Trump or ANY candidate would accept such results while votes were still being counted - particularly military absentee ballots - and without recounts, you are out of your mind.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning. They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.
i'm not going to argue with you about how stupid people are or what stupid people will or won't accept. the point is that a million votes isn't close and neither is a half million and if someone stupid wanted a recount in a vote decided by a substantial margin, the vote counters could and should just laugh at him or her and tell them no.
A million votes sounds like a lot, and it is, but 130 million total votes cast is a lot lot lot more. That's why we use this thing called a percentage. And 1% isn't much at all. Which is why we have recounts. And as you've already conceded, neither Trump nor Hillary would have just thrown in the towel based upon such a small margin, which is the whole point. The point is not whether you can smugly scoff that a recount isn't necessary - that's not how things work. You also haven't addressed 2000, which came down to an even smaller margin, and would have been an absolute nightmare if that recount had spread on a national level. Thank goodness for the electoral college.
if you flip a coin 100 times, and you get 51 heads, 49 tails, that's very likely to be random error. if you flip a coin a million times and get 510k heads and 490 k tails you have a coin that is not perfectly balanced, the chance that it is random error is exceedingly small. 1% of a small vote is not the same as 1% of a large vote. whether trump or clinton are educated enough to know that is irrelevant, the people running the election would know it.
I'm 99.9% sure SYS has no clue what he's talking about.
