The Secret Service is paying to fly on Trump's plane?

Making a big deal of Trump eschewing $400K Presidential salary is laughable.

We re going to see the privatization of America. Enjoy the ride.

I saw that, I don't know where they want him to go? His son is still in school so I find it obnoxious to criticize him over this. Obama did the same thing in Chicago and it's not Trump's fault/problem that NYC is more expensive than Chicago.

I do believe that after the school year he needs to move to DC to make things easier for the SS and cheaper for the taxpayers.

Obama's daughter's started at the Sidwell Friends School in January 2009.

Thought I said maybe. I guess you missed that part.

You're kind of deflecting (still).

So, the whole fucking over the taxpayers to the tune of (what might be at least) $1.6 million doesn't bother you. Got it.

You used them both in this case. They would appear to be at odds.

It's funny what you focus on to avoid any criticism of Trump.

What the hell might happen if the Jill Stein financed recalls in MI, PA and WI would find enough errors in counts to show Clinton wins in those states?

Would that be another attack on rural America?

There’s been a lot of talk online over the last day about mysterious results in these two states, and whether the election could have been hacked. But when you look at the actual data, there’s no indication there was fraud — in fact, Trump’s victories follow patterns seen across the country, regardless of the type of ballot.

Let’s begin with Wisconsin, as it forms the core of the accusations of vote hacking currently being floated.

According to New York magazine, the Hillary-backing consortium of “prominent computer scientists and election lawyers” making allegations of potential vote fraud offered only one detail: “Clinton received 7% fewer votes in [Wisconsin] counties that relied on electronic-voting machines compared with counties that used optical scanners and paper ballots.” Details beyond this one charge have not been forthcoming, but if this is their “key claim” then it is extremely weak.

Technically speaking, the claim is true: Trump did happen to perform well in many counties that used electronic-only voting. (This handy PDF lists exactly which counties and towns in Wisconsin used optical scanning of ballots versus electronic-only voting.) He also often performed better than the man with whom he shared a ballot: Republican Sen. Ron Johnson, who ironically defeated his Democratic opponent by a larger margin than Trump did Hillary Clinton (3% versus 1%).

So does that suggest that fraud may have been in the mix? No. The data in fact suggests the opposite.

Voting technologies and election processes differ wildly from state to state. Wisconsin in particular has a decentralized system run on a county/township level, so any fraud would have had to be a massively micro-targeted effort involving hundreds of precincts, literally on the machine level. (Presumably this would require a commensurate level of manpower — it could not be done remotely, as these machines are not connected externally to the internet or networked together.)

Even if all that happened, we would have expected to see inexplicable results in certain regions, as outcomes that had been “hacked” in advance ran bizarrely counter to national trends. And yet the vote shift in Wisconsin follows that of every other state across the entire Rust Belt (specifically Pennsylvania, Ohio, Iowa, Michigan, and Minnesota).
