Not sure if asking to have votes "re-calculated" would be illegal. However, if the Secretary of State actually followed through on doing that for Trump, then that opens up the illegalities.

Saying he needs him to find over 11,000 votes for Trump so it would show he won has hypocrisy written all over it....claims there's fraud, but at the same wants the Secretary of State to commit fraud.
