Trump's Lead Drops drastically as New Votes Tallied in Pennsylvania prior to recount

Interesting how in WI, and now PA, Trumps lead drops by tens of thousands of votes after a recount request, while Clinton's remains the same.

Trump has now lost over 22,000 votes from his lead so from 71,000 lead to 49,000. The plot thickens.

Also, "Final counts are still outstanding in several counties including Allegheny County, which is highly populated and home to Pittsburgh."

State election officials said Friday evening that Trump now led Democratic challenger Hillary Clinton by 49,000 votes, down from 71,000 as provisional and absentee ballots from overseas are recorded.

The revised vote total was released as Green Party candidate Jill Stein mounted a recount effort in the state. Officials in Philadelphia approved requests to re-check results of a series of machines, but a statewide review remains up in the air.

A court hearing is being held on Monday in Harrisburg that could decide whether a full recount could take place.

Out of 6 million votes cast in Pennsylvania, the latest tallies put Trump's lead at 0.8 percent. State law would've required an automatic statewide recount if the lead was within 0.5 percent.
