Trump’s lawyers say the election was ‘not tainted by fraud or mistake’
Three leading Republicans were asked over the weekend whether or not they agreed with Donald Trump's tweeted assertion that millions of voters had cast illegal ballots (part of Trump's effort to rebut his popular vote loss).
Trump's incoming chief of staff, Reince Priebus said that such a scenario was "possible." House Speaker Paul Ryan said he didn't know if millions of illegal votes were cast, because he is "not really focused on these things." Vice-president-elect Mike Pence echoed Ryan's sentiment, saying that he didn't know that the claim was false. All three should have listened to representatives from another leading Republican: Donald Trump.
In court filings submitted in an effort to block recount efforts by Green Party candidate Jill Stein in Michigan and Pennsylvania, attorneys for the president-elect stated unequivocally that there was, in fact, no evidence that any voter fraud had occurred.

So much for accuracy of counting the votes the night of the election. If Donald Trump got 70,000 more votes in Wisconsin's recount, then why weren't these votes counted accurately in the first place?
Why can't we seem to be able to design a voting system that is both fair and accurate? Are we expecting the results of an election too soon? Maybe every state should do a recount-- and that isn't a political statement, just a wish for greater accuracy.
