All states in recount cannot have Elector votes tabulated, hence Hillary wins.

Uh, no.

It doesn't matter which candidate gets the MOST electoral votes in a disputed election. If a presidential candidate doesn't get 270 electoral votes, then the president is elected in a special House election where each state gets one vote. The Republicans have majorities in most House delegations.

Just as we saw in 2000, there are so many hurdles to a Clinton victory here that they shouldn't even bother pursuing these silly recounts.

The language in the constitution says majority of the electors appointed. If these three states are still recounting and appoint no electors, the number for majority is reduced.
