Would a recount do anything to the\nresults?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n No.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reuters,\nwhich is a well-respected international news organization, conducted a study in\ncoordination with the non-partisan group Fair Vote that looked at 31 statewide\nrecounts between 2000 and 2019 and found that recounts on average shifted the\noutcome by 0.024%. The average swing between the top two candidates in the\nrecounts was 282 votes, with a median (middle) of 219 votes. These margins\nright now are very substantial and thus a recount would not shift the outcome\nof the election especially — in states such as Michigan, Pennsylvania, and\nNevada. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Is there widespread voter fraud?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n No.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n There\nis no evidence of widespread voter fraud. How do we know this? We trust our\nsecurity and intelligence agencies and our judicial system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The\nU.S. Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency released a joint statement\nfrom the Elections Infrastructure Government Coordinating Council & the\nElection Infrastructure Sector Coordinating Executive Committees that said:\n\u201cThere is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed\nvotes, or was in any way compromised.\u201d They also stated: \u201cThe November 3rd\nelection was the most secure<\/em> in\nAmerican history.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n President\nTrump, of course, did not like this finding and fired the director. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The\nTrump Campaign legal team, which has seen many lawyers jump ship in the past\nfew weeks, has continued to file lawsuits in court and spew conspiracy theories\nin public. The judicial system has responded to these lawsuits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There\nhave been approximately 12 lawsuits from the Trump Campaign that have been\ndenied or dismissed across the country that stems from the Trump Campaign\nasserting fraud without evidence. There are many other lawsuits out there from the\nGOP that have also been denied or dismissed. Only a handful still are pending\ndue to administrative procedures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Is there a conspiracy against Trump?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n No.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n As\nmuch as it hurts to lose such a race like this, people should trust our\njudicial system and intelligence and security agencies. They have a duty to\nprotect us and our election, not serve a candidate\u2019s purpose to get elected or\nre-elected. Americans should trust the state election officers who, for years,\nhave conducted fair and safe elections. Some of the are states that in question\nby the Trump Campaign are Republican-controlled. They have Republican secretaries\nof states, Republican governors, and Republican-controlled state legislature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Are\nthese Republicans conspiring against Trump? No. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Do\nnot let Trump and his ragtag gang of lawyers try to fool you. We are better\nthan that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This\nwas a fair and secure election. The people spoke and thus we move forward with\nthe people\u2019s choice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Bradley DeMers is senior studying political science at FHSU.
