Eh, completely unpreventable things such as bit flips have caused weird things in an election before, so it’s not exactly unreasonable to call for a recount when the margin is so small.
Obviously it’s incredibly unlikely to change though, and is a perfect example of why individual votes do matter.
Some states require, or at least allow, a recount when the margin is a single-digit percentage, let alone 1 single vote.
This election clearly deserves a recount.
LOL, could there be a better example?! Right with you.
I guess every individual vote usually matters.
In my area there’s usually only a reason for me to vote when something serious is on the ballot.
This last election seen republicans running completely unopposed in every position. My state usually ends up blue, but if it were up to my district we’d have Hitler cloned and raised on Natty Daddy and Busch Ice on a cattle farm with a Pentecostal Holiness church in his back yard. Donald Trump got 82% of the vote in 2016 and 83% in 2020.
