I wasn't inferring that Clinton had to do anything, this blog post/article was written before Jill Stein decided to challenge the results. If you read the whole thing, and replace Clinton with Stein, you'll see what she is up against. She has to convince a judge that massive voter fraud occurred, in the realm of 70K votes. Sorry, I just feel that is highly unlikely, especially with no paper trail in a large majority of PA voting districts.

This is probably why the Clinton camp didn't pursue this. Do you really think a judge is going to give a very expensive recount for a candidate who had .8% of the vote. If Hillary challenged, there might be a better chance, but still very unlikely.
