He now leads by about 1.05%, or 64,500 votes, compared to 71k yesterday

Funny, you'd think they'd count all the votes before the state's recount request deadlines (the last of which was yesterday). Seems suspicious. Doesn't matter since the state's winner is unchanged, but still.

I'd expect the margin to tighten a bit more. Philly, Montgomery and Chester haven't updated their provisionals and late-arriving absentees yet.

Stop.  That's not how Pennsylvania election law works.  Unofficial results must be delivered to the state by 5 PM on the 15th, but military absentees can also arrive until 5 PM on the 15th, and additional ballots can still be counted for a couple of weeks after that point.  Please at least read local election law before you call something "suspicious."  Otherwise you're just recklessly fueling nonsense.

There's nothing weird about provisional ballots, which overwhelmingly come from minority voters, overwhelmingly going to Clinton.

NY, IL, and MD all still have provisional ballots to count, just like PA.

There is nothing "suspicious" about this at all.

How was PA called if there are still 100k provisional ballots?

Not all provisionals get counted, and Hillary would need to win the ones that are counted by a pretty eye-popping margin to close all of the 64k gap.

Trump 2,961,875
Clinton 2,915,440

Clinton lost PA by 46,435 Votes.

You misread the tweet. That's the total statewide as of completion of Philly. There are still a few odds and ends provisionals elsewhere, but not many.

1. Actually read the thread before replying.

2. Actually understand election law before replying.

3. Stop complaining when people make allegations about the electoral system "with no basis in fact" if you're going to turn around and do it yourself.

I wonder what the vote count would be had Russia not hacked the results to install Putin's puppet?

Wow, that is huge, from 70k to short of 47k in 2-3 days. So, Philly definitely in? Are there large numbers of votes still to be processed, maybe in Pittsburgh, or Montgomery County?

Now Trump margin downs to 44,3k ...since EN, Clinton gained 82k and him 58k...now he has an advantage of 0.73, with 0.5 an authomatic recount is triggered...would be interesting to know how many ballots are still to be counted...

15 provisional ballots are left to be counted, according to a spokesperson for the PA Bureau of Elections.

I'd expect this to be around the final margin. All counties have now reported, MontCo and Washington were the last ones to come in.

15 as in one more than 14. Not hundred, not thousand, just 15.

I know.
