“But a recount that reverses an initial margin of more than a few hundred votes would be unprecedented in the recent history of American elections.”

“According to an analysis by the nonpartisan group FairVote, which advocates for electoral reforms that make it easier to vote, out of 4,687 statewide elections between 2000 and 2016, just 26 went to a recount.”
“Of those 26, just three recounts wound up changing the initial result of the race: The 2004 Washington governor’s race, the 2006 Vermont state auditor’s race and the 2008 Minnesota U.S. Senate race. The average swing in those three elections after the recounts? About 311 votes.”

I was at the breakfast briefing and this is the top line from ⁦@AmbJohnBolton⁩ (pretty sure 99% accurate thanks to colleagues with recorders): “A lot of the press coverage about the decisions on Syria kind of missed what the president had in mind.” washingtonpost.com/world/national…
“And certainly encompassed in that is it’s very clear we’re going to withdraw, we want protect american forces during the withdrawal period. But the president also expects we woyld be able to accomplish the destruction of the ISIS territorial caliphate
and other ISIS personnel and facilities that r potentially dangerous to us as we leave.
It’s also very important that as we discuss with members of the coalktion, other countries that have aninterest like isreal and turkey that we epxect that those who have fought w/us in Syria

Earlier this AM, @AmbJohnBolton told journalists traveling w/ him re timetable for w/drawal from Syria that “this is a cause and effect. Timetables or the timing of the withdrawal occurs as a result of the fulfillment of the conditions and establishment of the circumstances we
want to see.” In response to question re legal authority for maintaining US troops at Tanf, @AmbJohnBolton replied “Well I think there’s plenty of legal justification about concern for the resurgence of ISIS. But I’m a strong believer in Article II, and I think what that means is
the president has full authority to protect American and allied interests around the world.” @AmbJohnBolton also commented on passing of fmr SecDef Brown: “He was a great patriot who devotes most of his life to public service. You don’t have to agree w/someone all the time to see

From one of military buddies: "A couple points to consider about the Chang'i 4 landing. One, China's space program is controlled by the Party and by their military. There is no civilian aspect to it.
Second, the southern and norther poles of the moon are critical for a number of reasons. One is that there is water there in the form of ice in the permanent shadow of deep craters. This water will be important for building permanent bases on the moon.
Third, the poles are important military positions because there are places at the poles that can always look down on the earth with sensors and weapons. China's landing at the southern pole at the Aiken Basin is a key military strategic achievement.

Here's a thread on Broward County Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes:

1. She "violated state and federal laws by destroying ballots from a 2016 Congressional race ... while the ballots were the subject of a lawsuit against the office," a judge ruled.
sun-sentinel.com/local/broward/…
2. Democrats have accused her precinct of individual and systemic breakdowns that made it difficult for voters to cast regular ballots

3. "For many, this midterm election would have been their first time exercising their democratic rights."

"But there were problems: Their absentee ballots never arrived, or came so late they wouldn’t be able to send them back in time."

2/ Broce has clearly graduated with honors from the Sarah Sanders @PressSec School of Spin.
The registered voters numbers are wrong, and the ballots cast numbers are wrong on the summary. But we are to believe that results are accurate!
