Yeah, recounts are pretty silly at this point since it is virtually impossible that they could change anything. On the other hand this election has yet again (just like when Al Gore lost) highlighted how bad some US states are at holding elections and counting votes. Why is it so hard? There are many states and countries who can hold an election without this chaos.

Far more mail-in ballots, more spacing between observers and workers, fewer observers, and some of it having to be figured out on the fly. That makes this one messier than normal. Don't judge their ability to run elections by this election - it's not a fair test of normal circumstances.
