I think most of those pushing a recount just can't accept we lost. I understand that feeling, but I think we look just like GOPers, whining and believing all kinds of conspiracy junk.

We've already seen people claiming the recount will be a sham. There will be more conspiracies to come.

I'm more than ready to eat crow if the recount shows anything other than a few minor errors.
