Bush Sr. twice, Bob Dole, Bush Jr. twice, McCain, and Romney all lost Wisconsin.

Secondly, are you going to try to tell me that Mr. "It's all rigged folks" wouldn't have demanded a recount if he'd lost Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania by an average of 0.7% of the total vote?

Note that if those 3 states had swung Clinton's way she would have won the electoral vote 276 to 269.

And lastly, considering the amount of hacking that took place during this election, and how it was all aimed at hurting Clinton's campaign, and that election professors and lawyers have brought up the fact that on average Clinton averaged 7% more votes in counties with paper ballots vs. counties with electronic ballots......

Recount rules are in place for a reason and this is a perfectly valid situation to take a second look, if for no other reason than to ensure the process wasn't compromised.
