Of course, they know. They know how many ballots were cast in total...and they know what the count was for each presidential candidate. Subtract the counts from the total ballots...and you have the number of ballots which weren't voted for the presidency.
If that number changes significantly...or if the total ballot count changes significantly...the alarm bells will start ringing.
It's hard to cheat at the re-count stage. It's the initial count that can be manipulated.

Typically state laws say once there is a certified vote electors are appointed by the state.
There’s now a certified vote in Michigan, for Trump.
So , barring an overturn of today’s certified vote total by a new certified vote total, Trump wins.”
Doug, DV,
Didn’t Stein ask for a recount in MI before MI was certified?
Can’t petition for a recount in Mich until the vote has been finalized (certified).
In fact she hasn’t even filed her petition yet. Will in a day or two I assume (has 48 hours).
Certified votes cannot be petitioned.
Cannot find that she filed in MI
Maybe your state has different rules, different terminology.
No they don’t, a certified vote is a certified vote.
Every state has their own voting laws and they differ widely in particulars. That’s a fact you, or anyone, can verify.
And consider that two of the highest-priced Michigan election lawyers were at the hearing today.
It does not matter. Lawyers spin things all the time, Getting a recount on a certified vote is a very tough process if not impossible. The standards is high and Stein’s claims are not based in reality.
Stein’s claims go over into this territory and liberals are not living in reality.

Suit yourself friend.
168.879 is the applicable Mich law, since the vote for electors for president and vice president is canvassed by the board of state canvassers:

Stein has to show she was “aggrieved”, which I think is hard to believe since she would still lose even if there was ten times the “fraud or mistake in the canvass of the votes “ that anyone could possibly imagine!
That’s why the lawyers make the big bucks.

OK many thanks for that info!
Per DV, once a state certifies the votes, it’s tough to challenge/ask for recount :

So MI looks to be be out of reach of Jill**.
PA needs a lawsuit found in favor of Jill & IIRC she has to prove that shenanigans occurred.
And the two counties Allegheny and Montgomery, talked about here by bulwinkle:

Went for illary !
**BUT MI gave an estimate for the recount today and they have till close of business tomorrow to come up with the money:

She is out to lunch like I told and their law reflects the high standard like I said. Her claim of aggrievement is frivolous.
Like the law says, she has 48 hrs to petition.
That’s all I wanted to make clear.
She has 48 hours to petition with a strict burden of proof like I told you. It there is not substantial evidence the petition will be denied. Which I believe it will.
No.
You stated she could not petition and I’m glad you gracefully stand corrected.
Why do I point this out?
Look at post 52. People read what’s we say.
Freepers aren’t perfect, but they’re pretty good.
