When the latest political news is a recount we have run out of political things to discuss. I think Jill Stein just likes to see her name in the "papers".
There is more going on than that. That's just what people want to focus on because they're either hoping for a chance or enjoy belittling motion.
If Trump actually believes he won the popular vote and that the 2M+ in favor of Clinton is due to people voting illegally; that in and of itself would grounds for a recount with respect to preserving the legitimacy of the voting process.
Of course he is merely pandering.
Other things going on:

South Koreans want President Park Geun-hye impeached
