Still doesn't explain why the gop seems to be flipping out over this unless abnormalities are found, which also wouldn't surprise me.

Inside the GOP Effort to Discredit a Recount
November 12, 2018 at 11:01 pm EST By Taegan Goddard
The concerted effort by Republicans in Washington and Florida to discredit the states recount as illegitimate and potentially rife with fraud reflects a cold political calculation: Treat the recount as the next phase of a campaign to secure the partys majority and agenda in the Senate, the New York Times reports.
That imperative described by Republican lawyers, strategists and advisers involved in the effort reflects the G.O.P.s determination to tighten its hold on power in the narrowly divided Senate. The outcome of the Florida race will decide whether the party controls as many as 53 seats and has a freer hand to confirm Republican-backed judges with the vote of the man at the center of the recount, Gov. Rick Scott, who is trying to oust a three-term Democrat, Bill Nelson.
