(34,857 posts)Some counties were counting, and subsequently accepting, ballots differently. One good example was the hanging chad. Some counties were accepting those votes, others weren't. So they ruled that violated the Equal Protection clause of the constitution - not the act of the partial recount itself.

(23,922 posts)not a recount of votes cast in a state-wide election being conducted in some counties within that state, but not others, also violate that same Equal Protection clause?

Now if he had targeted the red counties he might have a chance to increase his votes.

(34,857 posts)Then they can say the results should not be certified.
It won't work but they're not actually trying to make up the gap - just find enough discrepancies in the recount to push a narrative that the selected counties having irregularities in their results.

(11,617 posts)They ran the numbers and projected that they can raise more than the cost of the recount and pocket the profit. Just another grift.

(46,574 posts)Did the Supreme Court claim that the entire state had to be recounted, to be fair? That Al Gore couldn't just cherry pick the counties?

(44,962 posts)I supposed Trump doesn't want to fork up $8 millions, but that's not a reason to allow partial recount. I hope our lawyers are on that STAT.
