is if a recount is requested. Then they would have to recount every vote in the entire country. What if Mississippi declares they had 75 billion votes for Trump? Are all of these states going to say, "oh well, Trump got the most votes so he gets our electors?" I don't think Michigan officials can demand a recount in Mississippi.
