We have such a large buffer between elections and seating new members of congress to give the loser an opportunity to contest the results and get the recount through the courts. That shit is baked in to America. It doesn't mean anyone has been counting votes since November. A recount can take ages to be approved. In this case the republican nominee requested a recount that flipped the election in her favor. Yeah, the long buffer period is a chance for cheaters to fuck it up, but that doesn't mean the underlying principle is wrong. We need more transparency and accountability, not less democracy.
