Local Politician Feels Trump Remains a Long Shot

(La Porte, IN) - More uncounted ballots have turned up, fueling hope for supporters of  President Trump.  All of the uncounted ballots have surfaced at three counties in Georgia where the statewide recount is ongoing.  As a result, experts say the lead for Joe Biden in that state has narrowed by over 1,500 votes.

 

Republican Tim Stabosz of La Porte feels it’s still a long shot for the election to be overturned because the president has to flip three states to win in the Electoral College.  He also said he believes the number of votes he needs to surpass Joe Biden in each state is too great to be made up in a recount or legal challenge.

 

Estimates place the president over 12,000 votes behind in Georgia now with the recount not expected to be finished until next week.  Stabosz, a former city councilman in La Porte, was elected La Porte County Auditor on November 3.
