The Republicans have issued a legal complaint against Jill Stein’s recounts in Wisconsin and Michigan on the basis that Stein is the one legally compelling the recount, but the only possible beneficiary is Clinton. That clearly implies Clinton could possibly benefit. They also allege coordination in fundraising. I don’t know the law on coordination, but the assertion that Clinton could benefit, but Stein could not, implies that the recount could give Clinton victory in the state. If the “benefit” in question is merely the PR benefit of an increased vote total not changing the outcome, Stein is as likely to benefit as Clinton. The only benefit that could possibly accrue to Clinton, but not to Stein, is victory in the contest, and that is only true if you consider victory a realistic possibility in Clinton’s case, but not in Stein’s.
By making this argument in court, the GOP has put itself on record as acknowledging the possibility that the recount could turn the states to Clinton.
