Actually, that is a huge stretch. The incidents of voter fraud are almost non-existent. This past election, the four published incidences of voter fraud were from Trump supporters (3) and an independent. You have to ignore all the controls put in place to prevent voter fraud, and then believe that it has become systemic. When we look at systemic problems with the voting mechanisms in the United States we find that it is pretty much Republicans responsible for issues. Whether they be gerrymandering or voter suppression efforts, through either disqualifying minorities from voting or scrubbing them from voter rolls or imposing oppressive voter ID laws, that is all the behaviors of one party. These are real things that continue to happen and there is plenty of proof of such issues. Your claim that there were millions of votes placed by illegals has zero evidence to support it. None. So which is a stretch again?

No, which goes back to my original postulation that recounts are dumb unless the margins are incredibly thin.
What constitutes an incredibly thin margin? Is a margin of less that 1% enough to constitute a recount? The gap in Michigan as 11,000 votes of over 5 million cast. Is that a thin enough margin?
