Thanks. Makes sense.
If the report about the new MI law asking full recovery from those greater than 5% from a victory is true, then that would truly discourage frivolous recounts such as Stein’s.
However, I always thought she was doing so at the behest of the Clinton campaign. So, in the future, the true aggrieved party would have to step up if they want a recount.
Other than for the possibility of taking Stein's money, I'd flat out foreclose the right to recount unless an allegation is made that the results of the recount could cause the petitioner to become the winner. Some people have enough money that the cost is as frivolous as the meaningless recount, and the law should not allow it.
