This was nothing more than a waste of money... no recount has covered a gap even half that size, there was never actual evidence of "hacking", and the voter pattern was not actually unexpected for people who really track these things, such as the people at fivethirtyeight.

Btw, if you're curious about why the article (written by Nate Silver) says he supports the audit, it's merely because he always wants more data lol

But we did get something out of the recount: The knowledge that the system works. Hopefully this will quell shrieks (from both camps) about voter fraud, not only this election but in future elections as well.
