    Don't worry about recounts. I've had a bit to do with them over the years and they only really stand a chance of changing things when you are talking tens of votes. Where there are thousands of votes difference the only possibility for change is where whole batches of counted votes are misplaced. It just doesn't happen.

    I’m sure trump is hoping for the “hanging chad” fiasco that occurred 20 years ago. If he can get it to the Supreme Court I suspect he has a good chance of winning.

    Trump giving a live statement from the White House: "If you count the legal votes, I've easily won this election."

    This is just... wow. Insane. Utter insanity. The deranged and dangerous ramblings of a seriously deluded and dishonest man.

    Scandalous. Madness.

    Can't quite believe what we are seeing here.

    And he walks out. No questions allowed.

    What a sad, sad night for a proud country.

    Unfortunately I don't see how any of this is a surprise to anyone.

    Hopefully this is him going out with a bang, rather than something we are set to see more of.

    I watched Trump with an increasing sense of dread and foreboding. He knows he’s going down, but he’s talking straight to his lunatic fringe and preparing them to resist any change of direction.

    Barely a word of what he said had any basis in truth, but he knows there are enough nut jobs there to start a civil war.

    God help America.

    Its a real low point in global political history.

    Completely trying to undermine democracy. Utterly bonkers. Even if he suspects foul play, to broadcast a speech like that with no proof is utter lunacy.

    My view exactly. He isn't going down easily and if he goes down in history as the man who started a civil war then so be it. He'd actually wear it like a badge of honour.

    In other news, Biden is now only about 3,500 votes behind in Georgia.

    Just a shame it didn't flip during his speech.

    It's like those people who show you the league table if games stopped after 80 minutes.
