For the last months of his campaign, Trump claimed that the election was rigged. Honest Americans now know that he was right: the election was rigged for him. Add together the influence of Vladimir Putin over the last five years, James Comey’s announcement of a reopening of the investigation into Hillary’s e-mails, and the very real possibility that voting machines may have been hacked, and Trump may not legally be our president-elect.

Now Trump is whining; claiming that the election was fair. However, truth be told, he told his supporters that he would only concede that the election was fair if he won. But did he ‘win?’

Independent candidate, Jill Stein, filed for a recount in Wisconsin; and election officials agreed. Hillary Clinton’s campaign staff will join Stein in her effort.

Trump responded with five tweets condemning the recount. What would he have done if Hillary won the election.

My greatest concern is the huge number of votes by which Hillary won the popular vote. If nothing else, that fact definitely raises more questions. My second concern is the polls. How could the polls in ‘swing’ states be so far from the results?

The NSA confirmed that Russian intervention in our election was a reality. I have read several articles detailing how the election could be manipulated by hackers.

The biggest question is; if there is a change in Wisconsin’s results, will other states conduct recounts?

It remains very difficult for me to believe that such a large number of Americans would ignore the facts that Trump is immoral; a white supremacist; a criminal; a xenophobe; and a sexual predator. These facts, joined with Trump’s complete lack of qualifications to become the leader of the free world proved that he is unfit to be our president.

Regardless of the outcome of the recount in Wisconsin, our nation will remain divided. I join with the majority and will never accept Trump as my president; he does not support my belief of what America stands for, and I will never offer him my respect or loyalty. His choices for his inner circle are a “bag of deplorables,” and will re-create our nation into a fascist government. Democracy died on November 8^th.
