If it were the Dem trailing slightly, they’d move mountains to ensure the win.

Right, but this is a little more than "slight." The difference is 17,000+ votes. A recanvassing and recount might've (in the best scenario) shaved 1,500 or 2,000 or so, but this is simply too wide a gap.

Then you headbutt...
