Requesting a recount isn't "stealing an election."

Claiming a "election has been stolen" when you lose by 46,000+ votes is the head scratcher.

In the end, the "46,000" number isirrelevant. It's how that number was achieved that is in question. If it is legit, so be it and time to move on. However, it's far from certain that the numbers are legit.

It isn't irrelevant at all.

If someone claims that there are several voting discrepancies in, say, in Florida where 5,000 votes are in dispute in Miami-Dade.

Well, Trump won by 370,000 votes, so the 5k error isn't going to do anything.

It's like saying the refs robbed your team when you lose 34-13.

That's not the point at all. The point is there may have been irregularities, the number does not matter. This isn't rocket science. Anyway, if there's nothing wrong, then do the recount and it'll be done with.

Of course margin matters.

If we find out some podunk court clerk in West Virginia trashed 26 ballots that came from a small swath of Biden friendly addresses that means the ENTIRE state's results should be invalidated?

Because fraud, right?
