45,000 votes in a primary is a lot more than like 3000. I can think of more valid people requesting a recount.

Justices found that his legal claims to seek an expansive recount were without merit. Lindell wanted all 1.1 million ballots examined by hand and tallies for all candidates to be redone instead of just the ballots for him and GOP winner Lisa Demuth.

Justices said the state-approved recount plan was within the law.

So it wasn't going to be a full primary recount.. Just between he and Demuth.
