The “recounts” are only the first step by the left. If the recount doesn’t reverse the result, then the left will then sue to have, 1) conservative blocks of ballots disqualified, 2) “undervotes” examined for possible “intent” for Hillary, 3) entire voting districts disqualified (in conservative areas) because of some imagined “fraud.”
I don’t think that’s their goal. The left knows the election is over, and their girl lost. But they see that Trump lost the popular vote the same as Bush did. So they are looking ahead, and want to undermine Trump like they did W. So they are sowing the seeds of doubt and discontent. It didn’t work in 2004 but by 2008 the Bush name was toxic.
The recounts are good because it keeps the left occupied with a frivolous time killer while President Trump prepares to move into the White House.
