Donald Trump thinks this whole vote recount business is online erotice stories"ridiculous." That's not exactly surprising, but he's also not just spouting a bunch of nonsense, either.
Trump issued a statement on Saturday afternoon calling the Green Party-led effort a "scam." Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein has raised nearly $6 million as of this writing to lead a recount in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan — all states where Trump has a combined lead of around 100,000 votes.

"This is a scam by the Green Party for an election that has already been conceded, and the results of this election should be respected instead of being challenged and abused, which is exactly what Jill Stein is doing."

Stein launched a campaign on Wednesday to gather donations for a recount. She did so following a New York Magazinearticle that indicated Wisconsin voting machines may have been hacked to tip the ballots there in favor of Trump.
That line of thought was quickly dismissed by polling gurus, who said the discrepancy was explained by the areas of Wisconsin that use voting machines as opposed to paper ballots.
Trump won a significant number of votes in areas with voting machines because those machines are used in rural areas where he dominated across the country. Paper ballots were used in urban parts of Wisconsin where voters were more likely to support Clinton.
Stein is going ahead with a recount in Wisconsin despite the flimsy evidence, and has indicated plans to go ahead with a similar effort in Michigan and Pennsylvania.
The Clinton campaign has said they didn't plan to issue a recount themselves, but will help execute the Green Party effort. Mark Elias, who's provided legal counsel for the Clinton campaign, has indicated they don't expect the recount to change the outcome of the election.
