I don't understand what people are missing here.

Her campaign is on record to be one of the most expensive lost campaigns in history. All of the debts haven't even been reported yet.

Yet people are banging their heads against the walls demanding recounts that are EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE.

I say that those people should put their money where their mouth is and donate if they really believe that there should be a recount.

Recounts don't come out of thin air. The naivete is shocking.

You can have all of the evidence in the world but if you don't have the financial support for recounts it doesn't mean diddly squat. So, scream recount all you like but until the money shows up you're wasting your breath.
