After this election will states, especially ones with republican trifectas. Change recount laws to require standing, proof of fraud, reduce the raw vote total needed for a recount, or give a shorter window of time for a recount to be requested to a fringe candidate with no standing cannot cost the state taxpayer money in a cynical fundraising push?

Republicans tend to hate democracy, so probably.

You do realize that Stein had to raise the money to pay for the recount, don't you?  (If the existing law doesn't actually charge enuf to cover the costs, then perhaps that part needs modification.)  That said, if South Carolina's automatic recount law was in effect in Michigan, the margin there is close enuf to trigger one.

No doubt there will be a massive extension of voter suppression in GOP controlled states, yes.

to get access to the most effective way of proving (some forms of) fraud, you have to prove fraud first. sounds legit!

the window already ends before the initial vote count is finished. this would get really ridiculous really quickly
