Really? What is the legal standing for this statement?

I do agree that stein shouldn't have legal standing but the Wisconsin law says any candidate can request a recount. Perhaps Wisconsin can decide to only count her votes. Their law is silent on how they do the recount:

Wisconsin recount procedures

Any candidate voted for at any election may request a recount. The candidate must file a verified petition with the clerk or body with whom nomination papers are to be filed for that office. The petition should be filed not earlier than the time of completion of the canvass and not later than 5:00 p.m. on the third business day following the determination of the results of the election.[1] The petition must specify each ward or municipality in which a recount is desired. An opposing candidate or any voter or other interested party may similarly file a petition for a recount in any or all of the remaining wards or municipalities.[2]

If the difference between the votes cast for the leading candidate and those cast for the petitioner is not more than 0.5% of the total votes if more than 1,000 votes are cast, the petitioner is not required to pay a fee. Otherwise, the petitioner must pay the calculated or estimated fee at the time of filing.[3]

I think Gore conceded to Bush 43 via phone, and then “took it back” so there could be a recount.

That's what I'm trying to figure out. The vote gap was too large to automatically trigger a recount in any of those states. What basis does Stein have to get a recount in WI, or any of the other states? From what I've heard, Michigan is all paper ballot and the vote tallies have already been certified. If this is an attempt to overturn the election, she can't do it.

In reality, her concession has no legal status.

The only thing that matters is the result of the electoral college.

Michigan is one of those states. Jill Stein is conning them into sending money to pay for a recount that was already done.
