...gerrymandering has zero effect on Presidential elections.
...voter suppression was definitely a problem, but there is no do-over
...Hillary's 2.6 million lead in the popular vote and $1.00 will get her a nice treat at the Dollar Store
...Wisconsin is ~42% done with the recount and Trump has netted about a 19 vote increase in his lead...without Wisconsin flipping, Trump will have at least 270 electoral votes
...should any of the Republican electors choose to go the faithless route, their votes will be rejected by Congress

So the chances right now stand at about .000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001%
