The Republicans would appoint a majority Republican Canvassing Board without blinking an eye if they were in charge of this recount. The fact that Democrats won't do the same out some sort of misplaced sense of "fairness" is one of the most annoying things about the party.

We're not advocating stealing an election. The reality of the situation is that at this point there's no way we'll ever know who won this race - the human margin of error is too great to correctly figure it out.

Same logic applies to Florida 2000 and Washington 2004.
