“ONE such instance of a democrat losing a 400 vote margin would force that admission. Or two instances of a democrat losing a 100 vote margin.”

“Baddour appeared to have won by nearly 900 votes after Election Day, but Pate took the lead a few days later when straight-ticket ballots not counted by voting machines were tallied.”

Nothing to see here folks.

Try again. According to the article, first they tallied the machine votes. That was on election day. Next, they tallied the straight-ticket votes. That had to be done by hand. THEN, they held a recount. According to the article,

The hand recount showed Pate with 8,508 votes, while Baddour had 8,334 votes. Each candidate gained a half-dozen votes compared to the previous tally.

That vindicates my position. There was NO SWING WHATSOEVER during the recount. Each candidate gained a mere SIX, and those canceled.
