"I demand a recount!" is a phrase used to express resistance to a decision made, usually in regards to a vote; when used, it is often in a melodramatic and/or comical fashion. Although the concept of demanding a recount has been around for the while, the phrase "I demand a recount" was popularized as a meme following the Bush v. Gore case for the 2000 election for the U.S. presidency.
