Note: Recounts unlikely to help Trump. Avg. swing in 27 statewide recounts (2000-15) was 282 votes. Biggest: Gore cut 1,247 votes from Bush’s lead in FLA in 2000, still lost google.com/amp/s/fivethir…
So Trump will have to *prove* tens of thousands of votes were fraudulently switched or recorded in four states, a massive and unprecedented conspiracy given decentralized election system. AND he will need to flip a fifth state to get to 270. Tall order.
Further, he would have to provide evidence that this conspiracy was carried out under states run by Dem governors (PA, NV) and GOP governors (AZ and GA) and in states with legislatures controlled by Dems (NV) and by GOP (PA, GA and AZ). Very tall order.
Even further, he would have to provide evidence that all these “irregularities”/conspiracies were perpetrated under the watch of both Democratic Secretaries of State (in AZ and PA) and Republican Secretaries of State (in GA and NV). Exceptionally tall order.

"And this single source close to Deutsche Bank has told me that...Trump`s loan documents there show that he has co- signers. That`s how he was able to obtain those loans. And that the co- signers are Russian oligarchs."
