Does the federal court even have jurisdiction over state matters such as this?

Thanks to the Voting Rights Act, yes. Unintended consequences.

The federal issue is voting rights for the individual. That gives them strong influence at the state level if it can be argued that voters were disenfranchised.

The state has the constitutional authority on how to count votes and select electors for the EC.

Stein's argument was voter fraud via foreign hacking and she admitted that her legal team has no evidence of that.

IMO There should not be a recount just based on lack of standing/lack of evidence. The Republicans allowed the whole thing to progress this far by not aggressively fighting stein in the beginning.
