Scott Walker's own anti-recount law has done him in :)
Walker & his cronies in a fit of pique against Jill Stein (who received a recount in 2016) changed WI’s law & raised the recount threshold from .5 to 1%. Walker signed the law last year.
Now it’s extremely unlikely to ever overcome a 1.2% deficit in a recount.
But now he can’t even legally request one, just to give it a shot and drag things out. You know he could’ve raised a ton of conservative money to do so had he wanted.
Just a sweet little item from this election.
Scott Walker narrowly loses Wisconsin governor's race – and he can't ask for a recount because of a law he put in place
Wisconsin's Republican Governor Scott Walker lost a very narrow race for reelection to Democratic challenger Tony Evers on Tuesday. But it wasn't close enough to qualify for a recount — thanks to a law he signed himself last year.
...
The campaign did not end up requesting a recount — and they legally couldn't have anyway.
Based on unofficial results, Evers won by about 31,000 votes, according to the Associated Press. Evers led Walker 49.6 percent to 48.4 percent.
If a candidate in Wisconsin is losing by less than 1 percent, they can ask for a recount — but Walker lost by 1.2 percent.
(note: I admit it, I had to look up the correct spelling of “pique” ...)
