In the broadcast Matt uses the example of (former senator) Al Franken in Minnesota when he ran for senate and was running behind yet managed to get the votes after a couple of weeks... He suggests the same could happen with Trump.

Christine Gregoire, 2004 gubernatorial(WA) election.

The election was held on November 2, 2004, with the initial count showing Gregoire trailing Rossi by 261 votes. A legally mandated machine recount reduced that lead to only 42 votes, then a hand count requested and funded by the state's Democratic Party gave Gregoire a 10-vote lead. Following a State Supreme Court ruling that allowed several hundred ballots from King County to be included, her lead further increased to 130 votes,[29] but when the vote was certified by the state's Secretary of State, Sam Reed, at the end of December, one vote that had been counted in Thurston County past the deadline was disqualified and her lead was reduced to 129 votes.[30] Washington's Republican leadership then filed suit, claiming that hundreds of votes, including votes by felons,[31] deceased voters,[32] and double voters,[32] had been counted, but on June 6, 2005, Judge John E. Bridges ruled that the Republican Party had not provided enough evidence that the disputed votes were ineligible—or for whom they were cast—to overturn the election.[33]. -per Wikipedia
