"I just want a recount" isn't going to work. There needs to be proof that one is warranted. I'm sorry if my response doesn't meet your expectations, but unrealistic expectations were a common problem here on DU this cycle and a big reason why many were so shocked at the outcome. They're also making it understandably harder to accept. I prefer to be realistic than give people false hope, though that's sometimes at odds here. And that's fine.
The bar for requesting a recount is extremely high in Michigan, as noted. If evidence existed to request a recount, I can't imagine that the campaign wouldn't have done so by now. They have 48 hours after canvassing is completed.
A candidate can request a recount if all of the following conditions are met:[5]
The candidate ran for one of the following offices: president and vice president, state executive (e.g., governor), U.S. Senate, U.S. House, circuit judges, state senate and state representative[6]
The request "alleges that the candidate is aggrieved on account of fraud or mistake in the canvass of the votes"
The request "shall contain specific allegations of wrongdoing only if evidence of that wrongdoing is available to the petitioner. If evidence of wrongdoing is not available, the petitioner is only required to allege fraud or a mistake in the petition without further specification."
The request "sets forth as nearly as possible the nature and character of the fraud or mistakes alleged and the counties, cities, or townships and the precincts in which they exist."
The request "specifies the counties, cities, townships, and precincts in which the recount is requested."
