He did back in 2016 or within that time frame.
Now Andrew Scheer, the former Canadian conservative leader, was going to renounce his USC, but then after his party didn't win enough seats to form government and he was no longer going to be leader of the party, he decided to keep his USC in the end.

"Cruz has said that when he was a child, his mother told him that she would have to make an affirmative act to claim Canadian citizenship for him, so his family assumed that he did not hold Canadian citizenship." Total horse crap. His mother would have had to file with a U.S. Consulate a certificate of live birth to obtain U.S. citizenship for him. His father was a naturalized Canadian citizen, so lying Ted was Canadian at birth.

By my calcs, the current margin (17k) is less than 0.5% of the total (3,270,343 @98%). The automatic recount threshold for AZ is ... 0.1% according to https://ballotpedia.org/Recount_laws_in_Arizona so 0.5% is still well above 0.1% so it looks like we are way outside of recount territory. Interestingly, the site referenced says no one can 'request' a recount - only the auto recount triggered by the 0.1% threshold can cause a recount. Not sure how that affects Trump's team; perhaps a proven allegation of fraud could trigger it.
The only fraud is Trumps team of liars.

Just curious...why is AZ different? Why are the late counted ballots consistently favouring Trump? I don't think we've seen that trend anywhere else?

Re: 2020 Election
I just posted this over on the EU Referendum thread but it really belongs here, for discussion.
The very serious observation we all need to come to grips with is that MORE people voted for Trump this time around than they did in 2016, and in that election, they were partly fueled by their hatred of Hillary.
In 2016, Hillary hatred drove 62.9 M people to vote for him. So far this time around, with all we know about him, he got 71.1 M people to vote for him. So that's 8.2 M MORE people this time around. That is a 13% increase! Get your head around that.

You also have to allow for the fact that people are plain stupid, the amount of people around here worried about Biden's tax plan is crazy, especially when I'd be surprised if any of them earn 40K let alone 400K.

Russian opposition figure Alex Navalny has congratulated Biden, but Putin still has not.

Well, since he obviously rigged this election, he doesn't want to make it look too obvious

He pumped them up for 4 years. Fed them red meat. Fed them lies and fear. Not surprising more of them came out this year. Do not overlook the fact that a lot more came out for Biden than did Clinton. She got 65,853,516. Biden, so far, has about 75,404,000. So Biden got 9,550,484 more than Clinton. So the Dems had a significantly greater increase than Trump, and that is because they preached hope.

Re: 2020 Election
I believe the very last batch are the provisional ballots, which are those that were rejected or mis-cast (wrong precinct, etc) and required extra review, or similar. So I think, if you look at the variability of AZ's vote since Nov 3, it hasn't fluctuated much by comparison to most of the other swing states. I've been watching it like a hawk as I am registered to vote there, but I didn't tabulate the numbers each day.
