Supposedly he lost because he asked for recounts only in counties where he was polling well, but then they should have ordered a general recount.

He shouldn’t have to ask for recounts when the initial counts are suspect. Was never a real democracy to begin with.

Everyone makes mistakes, even election officials who are trying their best. It's good that it's possible to ask for a recount
