Recounts are typically only an issue if there are a large number of "rejected" ballots that get a second look, such as in the case of Florida with Bush/Gore. Florida polls were rejecting Gore votes willy nilly, but when they did the recount (which of course was moot at that point), a lot of those ballots ended up counting.

Republicans worry about this sort of thing because they actually pulled it off before, now they project that onto everyone else.
