History has shown that recounts rarely change anything beyond a few hundredths of a percent, if that (see: Florida 2000). The margins are wide enough, and there are enough states that tipped blue, that it is extremely unlikely as a matter of pure mathematics that there would be any change in outcome -- even if Trump's fans were granted every legal challenge on their wishlist.
