    I don’t even think they need to do entire states before deciding whether a widespread recount is needed.

    IIRC there are even specific counties with headscratching results in battleground states. Grab a handful of those. If there’s fire, it will be found, and then we can mobilize for a wider recount. I’m sure that’s still a shitload of work, but prob less than recounting an entire state.

    I’ve been hoping that this is their plan, but I’ll admit that (especially given her concession) each passing day I have less faith in this.

    The AOC “what happened was massive, you all need to just wait a minute while we figure out what we’re doing” (paraphrase) video from a few days ago gave me a little spark of hope, but I suspect even that was not her saying anything other than “we’re going to do what we can to mitigate the damage.”
