Agreed. It’s a long shot, but now they have $3 million+ to feed to their lawyers. They may have been shopping for judges favorable to their cause since the election, too.
As others have noted, Stein/Hillary may be attempting to sabotage the Electoral College vote on December 19.
They seemingly picked three states which they believe they can tie up via re-counts and legal proceedings so that their Electors can’t vote on December 19 — to keep Trump below the 270 threshold needed to win.
If neither Trump or Clinton has 270 Electoral Votes when the new Congress convenes in January, then the GOP Controlled house will elect the next President via majority vote and the GOP controlled senate will elect the Vice President.
They must pick from the top 3 in electoral college voting (Trump or Clinton, Pence or Kaine for VP).
Trump/Pence would likely get the nod, but they may have to walk back some of their positions on trade and immigration to get the whole GOP Caucus to vote for them.
