Could Donald Trump end up losing the election?
Yes. If an investigation reveals voting figures were incorrect possibly due to hacked automated ballot machines and a recount reveals that Clinton won these states, she will be President.
The result as it stands has Donald Trump as the victor with 306 Electoral College votes to Hillary Clintons 232.
Wisconsin represents 10 Electoral College votes, while Pennsylvania represents 20 and Michigan which is yet to officially declare its result but based on current voting figures has come out for Trump represents 16.
If these 46 votes are shifted to Clinton, she would win with 278 Electoral College votes to Trumps 260. TheSun.UK
Seems close still, but if anomalies are born out, Florida will probably follow. Personally, I'd think North Carolina could be added too. All states HRC was expected to win, but mysteriously lost.

Trump sabotaged this country in his own self interest. He couldn't care less about anyone else.

(20,998 posts)...show that the final voting tallies, the machines or electoral infrastructure were messed with to provide tRump the win, then EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW. If it forces the 100,000,000 or so eligible voters into the open and forces them to stand up and take sides, so much the better.

(505 posts)I truly hope that the election result can be changed, but one way or the other we are really screwed. There's no doubt about how bad a Trump presidency will be, but if Hillary pulls it off, the "lying' Hillary" folks will likely be acting out their "2nd amendment remedies". That could be a bumpy violent ride. The well of good will been poisoned by this campaign.

(244 posts)...which felt a bit ignored during her lack of campaigning in all 3, and global trades that she has always been for which hurt them.
Sure it would be nice for all 3 to swing her direction but realistically it seems more likely this once-solid demographic has had enough of the Clintons and just wanted a new face. I dont get a sense they wanted Trump but just didnt have alternative. Obama would have easily won a 3rd term and he derided her for not taking the campaigning seriously and for not having a message.
Crossing my fingers. And i just donated again to the recount. Would be nice to see Trump's cry baby face if the recount reversed things.

(5,275 posts)If HRC would be declared the winner the alt right will go even crazier that they are now. Same with the Orange Meglomaniac supposed winner.
If nothing changes those of us who will never accept/normalize the Orange Fraud will make that plain as long as we have to.
All bets are off going ahead, we are in uncharted waters.
