Google agrees with you . I wonder what my landlord is on about . <| sep |> That ' s silly , you are falling for the same fallacy of if you do not vote for Hillary you are voting for Trump . The margins in these states are really small from 0 . 3 % to 1 . 1 %, indifferently of whether fraud was committed intentionally or not , that merits a recount to make sure the election outcome is representative of how people voted . Because even without intentional fraud , there might have been mistakes made in tallying up the votes , that is natural , it happens in every elections , the votes counted do not necessarily represent perfectly how people voted . But most of the time , that is irrelevant as the margins for victories are large enough as to make the effects of these administrative mistakes to me negligible . Here however the margins are very small , which as the law states merits a recount . What is wrong with making sure the elections were fair and exercising your right ?
