To clear this up, the first recount was mandatory, by state law. The Democrat did not request it. Only the second recount was requested, and I would too if I was losing by 42 votes. The fact that she was losing by 240+ votes before the recount is good enough reason to suspect the results.
It's not really about who wins. Making sure every vote is counted is critical for a fair democracy. If the Republican is winning fairly, they will win after any number of recounts, so I don't see what the gripe is.
