re: How pathetic is all this recount talk?

I seriously don't think the true intention behind the recount push is to actually overturn the results. The people may say really stupid shite, but they're not so stupid that they actually think they are going to overturn 10K+ margins. It's all due to the hope that they can find any kind of minuscule "fraud" and then proudly say how the whole damn thing was rigged. Also, some have hypothesized that it is simply to deny Trump from getting to 270 by tying these states EC votes up, then giving the decision to the House in hopes that they will select a different republican or at the minimum be able to call Trump an "illegitimate" president.
