Does it matter to them if the election results we heard on Nov.8 were actually accurate? Nobody who gives a crap about democracy should be against recounts and audits.

If "our election results" are so perfect, they will hold up under intense scrutiny. And if "our election results" are the result of fraud or cheating the system, we the people deserve to know the truth, and to have the opportunity to correct the situation.
