Wisconsin to recount votes for president

Wisconsin has agreed to recount its votes for president at the request of two third-party candidates. Jill Stein of the Green Party and Rocky De La Fuente of the Reform Party both asked for the recount in Wisconsin, where President-elect Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton by a little more than 22,000 votes. Stein, who received about 31,000 votes in the state—1 percent of the total—said she requested the do-over to make sure hackers did not interfere with the election results. As required by law, Stein is providing the funds necessary for the process. She also is raising money to request recounts in Pennsylvania and Michigan, two states where Trump won by narrow margins. The Wisconsin Elections Commission said it planned to finish the recount by the federal deadline of Dec. 13.
