It seems pretty self-evident that when an election result is wildly out of lone with public opinion polls or exit polls, and where there is a major difference between results in places where the votes are registered or counted counted electronically or manually, there ought to be a recount and a serious look at what happened, to make sure that its been a fair election.

That should happen regardless of whether any candidates want it to happen or not. Making sure that elections are clean is more important than what the actual result might turn out to be.
