45. They'll probably try to argue some bullshit math like its '.5% of the eligible voting population!'

Dec 2017

So, the denominator isn't the % of people who ACTUALLY voted ... and since ... lets say ... 31% of 'eligible' people voted, and the margin was 1.5% then it's actually within .5% of the total POSSIBLE voters ... or something like that ...

Of course they'll count the disenfranchised (people who would've been turned down for lack of ID, being felons, etc) in the denominator to reach the .5% they're looking for ...

Lets just say ... I won't fucking be at ALL surprised if they try to drag this bullshit out with specious legal arguments for as long as possible. And insult the intelligence of every single human being in the world in the process.
