Let's say the Stein recounts reverse MI, WI, and PA
and the EC vote swings. Are we finally ready for Hillary?

38. She can reverse MI and WI by recounting the votes.
MI has paper ballots and WI has ballots and voter-verified paper trail audit printers. Will they have been tampered with? Probably, but that should be revealed in the audit. PA might be more of a challenge but if malware can be found, or some clear evidence of tampering, and it's claimed that the Russians done it, I'd think the citizens of PA might agree to a fresh election. Yes it's unprecedented, but so is "Russian" vote-reporting fraud.
Here's the problem, Dummy: Trump's current 290 electoral votes do not include Michigan's 16, which will be officially awarded on November 28. Trump leads here by about 9,000 or 10,000 votes. Even IF the Recount Fairy blesses you by awarding his EV to Hillary, his total will STILL be 290. IF the Recount Fairy doubly blesses you by overturning Wisconsin, where Trump leads by 22,000 votes, his EV total is reduced by 10, and he would STILL have 280. IOW, overturning those two states will do nothing, NOTHING to change the outcome of this election.
Nothing happens without Pennsylvania and, as you admitted, "PA might be more of a challenge." A "fresh election" is unlikely to happen, and probably would create a little Constitutional problem.
Furthermore, the Rs are not going to roll over and die. With rumors swirling of illegal immigrants and dead people voting, you can bet that every single ballot cast in the entire country will probably be scrutinized. You might be willing to put the country through this, but sane people won't.
Give it a rest.
