What would Putin love more than a useful idiot heading the executive branch? One in which the result is overturned and trust in the government and electoral process is severely undermined as a result.

And I wouldn’t put it past Putin to (metaphorically) stab Trump in the back.

This is not saying that I’m opposed to the recount. Let it happen. It’s the possible ulterior motives that frighten me.

If a recount changes the electoral college totals after it’s voted, it could get messy — on the other hand, the country survived the election of 2000, even though the recount in Florida, if it hadn’t been derailed by SCOTUS, would have given Florida to Gore by almost any counting method proposed.

(Keeping an idea on Putin and his motives is always a good idea.)
