Of course it does. These reasons you're offering are weak. Why not audit the election? These aren't serious answers. I didn't see where Michigan is on the hook for anything, regardless of money. Why are you assuming that the state does work it won't get paid for? Most importantly, in all 3 states,
why are Trump surrogates (or his campaign itself) fighting?

I choose not to worry about every crazy thing he says, cause he says a lot. I'll pay attention to his actions when the time comes.

Words matter. This part of your post distresses me more than I expect you thought it would, but that ship has sailed. I don't intend for this thread to be continuing commentary on our nation's descent into a Trump Presidency, because it is about "Decision 2016," but I will continue to discuss election-related matters here.

Fair enough. It's the type of thing that the government does all the time, particularly under pro-business administrations. I agree with Hahma that this has to do with Pence & Indiana, as well. And we know
how thoughtful an administrator he is.
