Optics to save their own skin. Trying to hedge their bets.

Exactly. So when people call them out, the libshits will send articles of this “confirming” they were recounted

The recount defense is so easy to refute too.

"I threw this pair of dice 50 times and it came up 7 every time!"

"Can I inspect the dice to ensure they're not loaded?" (Audit)

"No man, I'll show you they're fair, I'll throw them another 50 times!" (recount)

The recount proves nothing about the legitimacy of the result, only that it can be replicated.
