I won't have any fingernails left!

I did find a story (Palmer Report) that said three precincts in WI have numerical irregularities, though. I am not sure how reliable this is, though:

Green Party officials file for a presidential vote recount in Wisconsin
By Gabby Morrongiello (@gabriellahope_) • 11/25/16 3:45 PM

Wisconsin became the first battleground state on Friday to officially receive a request for a recount of presidential votes from members of the Green Party, which raised several million dollars this week to cover the costs associated with recounts in at least three states.

2016 Green Party nominee Jill Stein and others are seeking recounts in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, citing reports of discrepancies in counties where President-elect Trump earned far more votes than expected and possible hackings of electronic voting machines.

"In the age of hacking, I see this as nothing more than an audit of our election and voting system here in Wisconsin," an unidentified Green Party official said Friday afternoon at a press conference in Wisconsin.

"Local Green Party officials said they will file an affidavit with the Wisconsin Elections Commission by the 5 p.m. deadline on Friday, at which time they intend to provide further details about the recount itself and whether it will involve a forensic audit of voting machines."

So did they, or not???
