I will take a stab at this, and hope it doesn't come out fractured.

The Democrat demands of a recount in three states poses an absurd scenario. First, when they recount the votes in the red counties, the vote totals might change, but it would change very little. So, they target the blue cities and counties. But this implies that Republicans somehow managed to get into election sites in blue areas, and manipulate voting machines, or stuff ballots. Really?

Another implication is that in areas controlled by Democrat mayors, elections offices, polling sites and the personnel at those sites, that these people are monstrously incompetent, and that they simply can't count. They can't be trusted to come up with accurate tallies, and why? Well, they are run by DEMOCRATS!

One can see having a county or city being under a recount for a local election for mayor, or member of a board of supervisors. But to target THREE states, and target the BLUE areas in those states because there is suspicion of hacking, and fraud by Republicans is ludicrous. If Stein wants to pay for a recount for HER votes, fine. I think she should not have standing to count votes for someone else.

You posted “But to target THREE states”. That’s what they did in Florida in 2000. They wanted to recount the votes ONLY in the highly democrat counties. Thankfully, the SC finally said “Count them all or shut it down”.

Someone should file to recount in states where Hillary won claiming that it’s unfair to recount only in states where Trump won. Every vote should count.

The cost of three recounts, one of which is in a very large and populous state (PA), will be enormous. I realize she has Soros helping to pay for this, but even then, its going to cost a bundle given the time pressures to complete the recounts. Stein may have lots of financial pledges but that’s not the same thing as real money. She’s going to need a mountain of it.
