“This thing can’t even get started in time to finish by Dec. 13 at this point.”
THAT’S the point. Hillary can’t win the recounts, they know that. The objective is to get states in hand recounts that extend past safe harbor, maybe even the actual voting date for the EC to change the outcome of the EC vote.
I’m not sure what that would accomplish. Trump would beat Hillary Clinton even if you took away all of the electoral votes from these three states.
I don’t know what the point really is. I don’t think the delay tactic is viable. Please do a user search for LS. Much more reliable source than I am, but he will tell you this won’t work.
