This is a fool’s errand. It’s statistically impossible to overcome a 20,000 vote deficit on a recount.
Personally, I’d like them to deny the request on the basis that even if Stein’s votes were undercounted by say...300%, it would not change the results of the election.
Just to be snarky, I also would like the recount to be only of her votes, not all votes.
“Good news, Ms. Stein! Instead of 20,000 votes, the recount has you at 23,456 votes.”
“And the others?”
“Oh, we didn’t count the others. $1.1 million only goes so far.”
