When all the votes are counted this year, Americans should have far more confidence their votes were tallied correctly than in 2016.
After that contest was upended by Russian interference, states vastly increased the number of votes that are cast with paper records that can be audited later. More than 90 percent of votes will have a paper record this year compared with about 80 percent in 2016.
States have also significantly improved how often and how scrupulously they perform post-election audits.
The changes have been especially significant in some of the states ... contested by Trump.
Georgia and Pennsylvania have both shifted from having paper records for few or none of their voters in 2016 to having paper records for all votes cast in their states — a protection security experts say is a bare minimum to ensure votes weren’t altered by hackers or miscounted because of a technology failure.
The Cybersecurity 202: More states now have paper trails to verify votes were correctly counted

The normal accusation isn't that the votes were miscounted. That would be easy to resolve with a recount.
The actual accusations are:
1. false votes were produced and inserted into the ballot boxes (example: those suitcases under the table, and the people without ID who aren't legitimate voters, and the mail-in ballots that were modified by postal workers)
2. legitimate votes never made it to the ballot box (example: disposed of ballots by postal worker because they came from a Trump neighborhood)
Miscounted votes are mostly a straw man of your own invention. The fact that you ignore the mainstream republican/Trump accusation is telling. You don't want people to think about the fraudulent votes, on paper, that were added to the ballot boxes.

They did multiple recount genius, and Runaway you really need to stop sock puppeting. It is very pathetic behavior.

Doing recounts on stuffed ballot boxes gives the same result? Who'd have thought?

Trump's legal team refuses to claim that ballot boxes were stuffed under oath.
Which is the simples hypothesis for this refusal:
1) They don't want to get disbarred for perjury.
2) They are all secret deep state operatives that waited until 2 weeks before Trump leaves office to hamstring one single legal argument.

You seem to have forgotten that part that comes AFTER accusing people of crimes: Providing evidence.
