In Bush v Gore, Florida state law required that any recount be conducted statewide. Gore was seeking to have it only in Palm Beach. The State Supreme Court ruled that a one-county recount was ok. The US Supreme Court said that would be a change in state law, which the state court was not authorized to do, and so said that the counting in only one county, Palm Beach, had to stop.
Ok, so Trump and team aren’t stupid. WHY are they doing selective recount/audit?
Because they aren’t looking for votes, they are looking for FRAUD. They likely know exactly where too.
My hunch on that.
Re: Bush v. Gore, I remembered it differently so I checked it out.
Back then, In Florida, a statewide machine recount was automatic as the vote margin was within .5%
Florida law also allowed a candidate to request a manual hand recount by county.
Gore requested that hand recount of 4 counties.
Florida Supreme Court ordered a state-wide recount of undervotes in Gore v Harris. That was not in the law and it triggered Gore v. Bush.
wiki gives a halfway decent explanation of Bush v Gore

Note Scalia’s opinion.
and that was only 1 state. Today we’re juggling at least 4 and we haven’t even gotten our foot in the door.
and as in the case of Bush v. Gore...we are running out of time.
