Doesn’t look like anything substansive today. Apparently 6300 provisionals are still out there. Kansas City provisionals will be counted Friday.
We’re not talking about a lot of ballots. In fact, this appears to be nowhere near the kind of ballot counting that’s going on in a place like Alaska at the moment. Here we are, this far out from the election with a piddly-ass number of ballots to count and yet……no certified results.
What, if anything, triggers a recount? Not that either side would care at this point but suppose the election was close and it’s outcome depended on this state?
