ast week it was only 9 votes.

Not 9 hundred, not 9 thousand.

NINE. Single digits.

As a resident of Washington State, I certainly don't think it unreasonable for there to be several recounts with ALL the ballots and not just the ballots that happen to be in the first wave. Once, all the ballots (included absentee ballots) are in and counted, THEN you can declare a victor. Not before.

The Democrats want to press for recounts, because they wish to get a favorable count to steal the election.

The Republicans want to stop the recount, because they're already ahead and want to steal the election.

You can put a spin on it either way. Cut the crap. Cut the politics. Just get it done.
