We can sit here and argue about voter suppression or Russian influence or the fake news on Facebook. But those things are NOT considered election fraud. And a recount will show nothing concerning those things. A recount only verifies a total of ballots that have already been counted.

If the Russians influenced Americans to vote a certain way. That's a whole different issue. And the election won't be nullified because of that.
