On the recount push, I'm fine with it. Transparency is never a bad thing, and given all the fears of the Rooskies attempting to influence the election, all the better. Either nothing abnormal is found, in which good, and if something shady did happen, I for one would prefer to know about it. As for the electoral college, I doubt that'll go anywhere. To be fair, though, the U.S. was never intended to follow the will of the masses, and the electoral college was specifically there because a majority of the Founders concluded that power should be left in the hands of the elite.
