Former Republican presidential hopeful and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson is under consideration to be secretary of Housing and Urban Development in the Trump administration, according to numerous media reports.
[LACROSSETRIBUNE] Republican Dan Kapanke has requested a recount, alleging mistakes occurred in his bid to unseat state Sen. Jennifer Shilling. In a petition filed Wednesday with the Wisconsin Elections Commission, Kapanke states that counting mistakes were committed in each of the more than 130 voting wards of the 32nd Senate District. Shilling, of La Crosse, won by just 56 votes.
Kapanke also says that a voter arrived at the polls "only to discover that someone else had signed the poll book in the spot next to the elector’s name." The petition did not say where that happened or whether the voter was able to cast a ballot.
Kapanke’s campaign said in a statement Tuesday that he decided to request a recount because the results were so close. A campaign front man said Wednesday there would be no additional statements issued until the recount is complete.
Shilling, who was re-elected Tuesday as her party’s leader in the Senate, issued a statement saying the vote total did not change during the canvass process and she is focused on "moving Wisconsin forward."
Local elections officials will begin recounting more than 89,000 ballots on Monday. Clerks in Crawford, La Crosse, Monroe and Vernon counties estimate it will take two to six days to complete.
About 70 percent of the votes were cast in La Crosse County, and more than a third were absentee ballots, which take more time to process as poll workers must check the names on the envelopes against voter rolls.
County Clerk Ginny Dankmeyer estimates it will cost the county at least $10,000.

Shilling, of La Crosse, won by just 56 votes....Local elections officials will begin recounting more than 89,000 ballots on Monday
In some states, that would be enough to trigger an automatic recount.
[WASHINGTONTIMES] Two weeks after the vote, the election still isn’t over in North Carolina. Gov. Pat McCrory, a Republican, formally requested a recount Tuesday after filing more than 50 challenges alleging voter fraud as the latest tally showed him trailing his Democratic rival, Attorney General Roy Cooper, by anywhere from 7,000 to 9,000 votes.
A recount would go into effect if the candidates are separated by fewer than 10,000 votes after all ballots are tabulated in a race with nearly 4.7 million votes cast.
While Democrats have pressured Mr. McCrory to concede, saying he has little chance of making up the deficit, the governor’s campaign has countered with examples of voter fraud, including ballots cast by dead people, ineligible felons and those also voting in other states.
"With many outstanding votes yet to be counted for the first time, legal challenges, ballot protests and voter-fraud allegations, we must keep open the ability to allow the established recount process to ensure every legal vote is counted properly," McCrory campaign manager Russell Peck said in a statement.

There is some real fraud going on in North Carolina.
[DAILYCALLER] National editor at Politico Michael Hirsh resigned after publishing the home addresses of alt-right figurehead Richard Spencer Tuesday morning and advocating for serious violence.
Politico confirmed his resignation following requests for comment from The Daily Caller News Foundation.
"Stop whining about Richard B. Spencer, Nazi, and exercise your rights as decent Americans," Hirsh wrote in a public Facebook post. "Here are his two addresses."
The Daily Caller News Foundation redacted the home addresses.
It was worse than this; in further comments Mr. Hirsh suggested to his readers that readers had every reason to go to one of the addresses with baseball bats.
Now then, I don't know enough about Richard Spencer to know if he is, as our current MSM proclaims, Satan Incarnate or is just (as Stacy McCain suggests) an angry, frustrated young man. I think I'll let him sort himself out a little more. But if doxxing is going to be okay with you, Mr. Hirsh, then...

The liberal press seems to have a problem with this kind of behavior. Remember that cop that shot some black guy while on duty a while ago? Apparently the judicial system wasn't adequate so a couple of reporters nailed the location of his home down to the block he lived on. I don't know if those reporters got fired or not.
If a leftist accuses the right of being inherently violent, you can be sure that they are the type who wouldn't hesitate to rough up or kill their neighbor's kids for their agenda.

You can see that the left were the one's behind the doxxing on gamergate.
Maybe here would be a good starting point for learning why.

From what I've read Spencer's big celebration of Trumps win had only 200 people in attendance. I think Spencer's movement is statistically insignificant. I think the left needs an enemy and they'll build one if they have to.
A business owner in Albuquerque has announced that, due to his opposition to "fascism," he will henceforth refuse to do business with Republicans and President-elect Donald Trump supporters.
According to KOB 4 News, Matthew Blanchfield runs the online marketing company 1st in SEO, and he’s so upset about the presidential election he’s willing to shed customers to show his disgust.
"America has elected Donald Trump, a racist, sexist, fascist, to be our next president," Blanchfield says in a blog post two days after the election. "If you are a Republican, voted for Donald Trump or support Donald Trump, in any manner, you are not welcome at 1st in SEO and we ask you to leave our firm ... 1st in SEO will do everything in our power to ensure that we break ties with any person or business that supports fascism."
While it’s illegal for most businesses in the U.S. to discriminate on the basis of sex, religion, or race, there are no federal laws barring discrimination based on political ideology. A handful of states prohibit such discrimination. New Mexico isn’t one of them.
Blanchfield told KOB 4 he’s already lost one client due to his declaration, and he’s prepared to lose more.
"The expense financially to me is immaterial," he said. "Morality, justice and doing what’s correct far supersedes financial gain for me."
Blanchfield could be alienating a big swath of his potential customer base, though. In Bernalillo County, where Albuquerque is located, 34.5 percent of the population voted for Trump. Furthermore, a survey indicated that small business owners, likely a key client base for Blanchfield, were substantially more likely to support Trump than the country at large.
Even if I were a Democrat, and sorely miffed by the election outcome, would I want to entrust my marketing to someone with this little business sense? Not bloody likely.

Walk in.
Ask for service.
Announce Trump.
Begin civil suit.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
