Generally speaking, most recounts confirm the original tally. There are usually some changes around the margins.
The most recent example of a recount changing the original tally and having a different winner that I can think of was in Wisconsin and the election of now Sen. Franken. Strangely enough poll workers found numerous ballot boxes in their closets and car trunks as the recount went on.
Asking for a recount isn't necessarily about winning. When trump raised the issue, he thought he could use it, and the trumpists would have screamed for recounts all over the country if he had lost. This is more about the integrity of the voting process in this country. So, 'winners', get over it, and realize that there are people who want to be sure the election was indeed #notrigged. ONly way to know is to do the recount. duhhhhh.
Just what if Hilliary won after recounts in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania and that the recount revealed some type of voter fraud? Keep in mind what started this was an observation that Trump did better in princints that used computer machines while Hilliary did better in precincts that used paper ballots or optical scanners. I don't believe in coincidences like that. But it would be funny if Hilliary became president elect after the recount.
Nobody has proved that Hillary did better where paper ballots were used.
So because you're incapable of understanding the reason for something "there can be no other purpose" than the one you imagined?
S'pose you give us the reason, smartass ...one that makes sense. And it isn't the reason that they have reported to the press, because there is no evidence of tampering or other problem.
Here's a theory: They rigged the election in those states, and Hillary was supposed to win. She didn't. So they suspect the other side rigged the election. But wait! why is Jill Stein calling for the recount? She only got roughly 1%, so she's not doing it for herself. Let me guess: She's a surrogate for Hillary, so H.C. doesn't look bad, since she said it would be "horrifying" for someone not to accept our "free and fair" election, and it would be "damaging to our democracy."
