Maybe. BUT, the recount now has no legal force regardless of how it turns out, and Goldsmith cannot change that fact simply by allowing it to continue.
It may have no legal effect now, but a meathead like Goldsmith could declare otherwise...or, declare the election results invalid due to the mismatch of voters and ballots in Detroit. Activist judges like Goldsmith don’t follow the law except when it suits them. They’re gods in their own minds.
Just because it has no legal force doesn’t mean it doesn’t have political force. If they magically “find” another 12000 votes in a car trunk somewhere, they will succeed in delegitimizing Trump’s win to a great degree. Sure, Trump will still be president, but they will have done great damage to his mandate, which has been their goal all along.
