wow, you really dont get the point of a recount do you?  Its all about ensuring the results are accurate. Surely even you cannot condemn that, can you? Or is winning the only thing you care about which is why Republican routinely rig the voting and the counting?

So why were 3 of the 3 states to be recounted states where Trump won narrowly?
New hampshire was won by the least margin.
hillary won there.
why was that state not recounted?

...............................Day 2 totals Clinton gained 89 votes but lost 86 for a net gain of 3 votes. Trump gained 98 votes but lost 92 for a net gain of 6 votes. OVERALL Clinton gained 3 votes Trump gained 6 votes Net Trump gain of 3 votes on Day 2 Trump won Wisconsin by more than 22,000 votes. That means that Trump inched ahead by a grand total of 3 votes in a recount expected to cost more than $3.5 million. Green Party nominee Jill Stein raised more than $6 million to fund recounts in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. The latter two recounts are now bogged down in legal issues and challenges. On December 3, Stein dropped her request for a Pennsylvania recount, saying she couldn’t afford the $1 million required, even though she raised $7 million overall for recounts. .........

The merits of the two candidates aside, I find it disturbing that a candidate must pay for a vote recount themselves. If there is a very narrow margin or any suggestion of impropriety then it is surely a government responsibility to arrange a recount. 

The AEC in Australia arranges recounts without any of this drama.

I believe in the US if there is a 0.5% difference or less a recount is automatic.
Paid for by the taxpayers.

Anyone voter can request a recount, but if is on request they have to pay for that.

I could be wrong.

The great Philadelphia recount has ended, and Hillary Clinton got five more votes than she had in her previous total. Donald Trump’s number stayed the same, as did the totals for Independent candidate Gary Johnson and the Green Party’s Jill Stein after the City Commissioners Office recounted votes in 75 of Philadelphia’s more than 1600 voting divisions. The recount had been launched by 250-plus Philadelphia residents answering the call of Stein, who asked for three petitioners in each of Pennsylvania’s voting district to file recounts to assist in her attempts to get a statewide recount through a Commonwealth Court and then Federal Court lawsuit. Stein’s camp had planned on using the district-level recounts as possible evidence for hacking or fraud. The recount turned up no instances of fraud or hacking here, City Commissioner Al Schmidt said, emphasizing the difficulty of hacking voting machines that aren’t connected to the internet.  “We have very primitive voting machines here,” he said. “Our voting system is only vulnerable to individual cases of voting fraud, as we’ve seen. Whenever it does occur it would be someone going in and voting for somebody else or an election board manually adding votes, which is an entirely different thing than hacking.” The five extra votes for Clinton, he said, came from paper provisional or absentee ballots that were undetected by the optical scanner that counted votes in the days following the election. Schmidt said this can happen when people don’t mark their choices clearly on paper ballots or, ridiculous as it sounds, use a green highlighter instead of a pen or pencil. “People do ridiculous things,” he said, “all the time.” The markings that went undetected by the optical scanner were picked up by the manual recount. The recount began Friday, first with the electronic machines. Representatives from the Green Party and the Democrats and Republicans were present. The City Commissioners Office did a recount of the paper ballots Sunday, and that’s when Clinton picked up the additional five votes. A recount had also been requested for the Pat Toomey-Katie McGinty Senate race. McGinty ended up with four more votes than previously and Toomey with one more. Some other Democratic candidates received one more vote    Most of the 75 districts were in Center City or the Greater Center City areas, which even for Philadelphia standards are overwhelmingly Democratic. Stein’s federal lawsuit was filed this morning. Unless she prevails at that level and a statewide recount is enacted, Philadelphia is done totaling votes for the 2016 Presidential election.    “The law provides for it,” Schmidt said of the local recount. “And it’s our job to do what the law provides regardless of its merits.”

Federal judge halts Michigan presidential election recount

.............After two days of  ballot counting, conflicting court decisions and legal wranglings between frustrated lawyers, a federal judge on Wednesday halted the hand recount of 4.8 million ballots cast for president in Michigan, concluding there's no real evidence of foul play and there's no valid reason to continue the recount. In his eight-page opinion, U.S. District Judge Mark Goldsmith said "there is no basis" for him to ignore a state court ruling that said the recount should never had started. He was referring to the Michigan Court of Appeals 3-0 ruling, which said that Green Party Candidate Jill Stein, who requested the recount, never had a shot at winning with her fourth-place finish and 1% of the vote, and therefore was not an aggrieved candidate. Goldsmith's ruling also bolstered some arguments that were repeatedly made by the Michigan Republican Party:  that there was never any evidence that hacking or fraud occurred at the polls, and that  Michigan's voting system is so secure that not even the "Gremlins, Martians or Russian hackers" could tamper with it. That argument appeared to carry some weight with the  judge. "To date, plaintiffs have not presented evidence of tampering or mistake. Instead, they present speculative claims going to the vulnerability of the voting machinery — but not actual injury,"  Goldsmith wrote, adding the potential for fraud is not enough to continue to allow the recount to proceed..............
