Oh, he can have his recount if he wants it, but asking for a full hand recount of a US House seat race because you lost isn't the best use of money... recounts are find if you think that the results might be overturned or if you have evidence of bad stuff happening, but recounting a race outside of the automatic recount range, when you've got no real case for why the results might be overturned, it's kind of a waste of time. But sure, if he wants a recount they should recount it. The results will very likely be similar to the first count. More importantly, though, I think that the recount is perhaps more about how much he dislikes ranked choice voting than it is about really thinking that the results might be overturned... those quotes there aren't about how this recount will overturn the result, they're about how bad ranked choice voting is.
