Have recounts ever favored republicans?

There was an infamous case right there in Wisconsin back in 2011 in a state Supreme Court race. JoAnne Kloppenburg declared herself the winner on Election Day over Republican David Prosser, only to lose two days later after all of the votes were counted. Despite all the typical whining you would expect from a losing Democrat, and calls for recounts and investigations of election board officials, she still lost.
Her margin of defeat was about 7,500 votes -- far less than Trumps' 20,000+ margin over Clinton in 2016.

If you mean do the votes ever increase for the republican in a recount? Not that I can remember. That’s why they always want a recount. Great opportunity to cheat.

Most often they do. Remember Florida 2000. Most famous (perhaps not a recount) was Dewey and Truman. Democratic nominees always want a recount if they lose with the exception of Ronald Reagan who wiped them out. I think Donald Trump did, too. The Dems were cheating and lost! Trump had to have so many more votes than is shown.
