Of course, 'did not appear to be' is not the same as 'definitely were not,' and Clinton team attorneys have joined in the recount effort.
Hacking may or may not be a consideration, but hacking is not the lone breach of fairness to consider.

(6,342 posts)We can sit here and argue about voter suppression or Russian influence or the fake news on Facebook. But those things are NOT considered election fraud. And a recount will show nothing concerning those things. A recount only verifies a total of ballots that have already been counted.
If the Russians influenced Americans to vote a certain way. That's a whole different issue. And the election won't be nullified because of that.

(22,240 posts)that computer scientist and election experts observed that Clinton was getting about 7% fewer votes in the precincts that used voting machines versus her vote where paper ballots utilized (on average). Not sure whether they tried to take account on demographics, etc.
