Do the math.
The average change in the margin of victory as a result of a statewide recount was a mere 296 votes in a 10-year study of 2,884 elections.
You OBVIOUSLY DO NOT know election law ...
In EVERY state, a challenger has a LEGAL right to a recount at taxpayer expense, as long as the margin of victory DOES NOT exceed a specified threshold [usually up to 2%] ...
With the NPV, the election is at the NATIONAL level [as you like to say "each and every vote counts"] - THEREFORE ANY recount would have to be done at a NATIONAL level AND under UNIFORM standards, so as NOT to violate the 14th Amendment Equal Protection Clause [as the Court has PREVIOUSLY ruled] ...
No matter that a recount might not change the outcome - the right of the challenger to one [under certain conditions] STILL prevails ...
BUT, I suppose you will keep on rationalizing an untenable postion ...
