The purpose of a recount is to determine whether that is actually true.

If this room had been packed full of Hillary’s lawyers demanding a recount, you would be singing a different tune.

Regarding the person whom you accuse, neither you nor I know if that is true. But Hillary won the popular vote by over 2.5 million, and if she had also won the electoral college, there would at least exist a moral argument that a recount should not happen.

(Meanwhile… interesting how some people are pointing out that the $5 million for the recount “could have saved 5,000 children” — but have no problem with the cost of sending in an army to tie up the recount in red tape, or the record-high cost of the election itself, which is over 1300 times or 130,000% larger.)
