According to this article by the Journal Sentinel (Milwaukee - Wisconsin), Stein is requesting a "hand count." Apparently the recount can not be accomplished before Dec 13, the deadline for the EC vote. If unable to complete before the EC votes will NOT be counted.
Pure evil

If a State fails to send electors, then it fails to vote in the Electoral College—which it can Constitutionally choose to do (not vote.) But if a State does not vote, then the number of votes required to win is reduced, because the Constitutional winner is whoever gets the most Electoral votes out of those actually cast.
If the vote count is not complete, the state legislature picks the electors. The WI legislature is Republican
Deadline for the EC is first Monday after second Wednesday which is Dec 19, not Dec 13. Dec 13 is a Wisconsin deadline imposed on itself.
I’ll repeat here the language of Electoral College:
“January 6, 2017”
“The Congress meets in joint session to count the electoral votes.”
“If a State submits conflicting sets of electoral votes to Congress, the two Houses acting concurrently may accept or reject the votes. If they do not concur, the votes of the electors certified by the Governor of the State on the Certificate of Ascertainment would be counted in Congress.”

I would ask you to comment on the following.
Wisconsin has a choice to present conflicting sets of votes or not to present anything. If Wisconsin fails to certify its votes, those votes may be withheld at the Dec 19 meeting of the EC. If they certify after Dec 19, Congress may not accept their Electoral Votes.
Wisconsin has 10 Electoral votes. Keeping their votes out of the election means neither Trump nor Clinton can be credited those 10 EC votes. Trump still has 296.
Stein will have to repeat the same for PA and MI.
If Trump ends up with less than 270 EC votes, the choice for President will be decided in Congress. For Congress to select anyone other than Trump would in my view lead to a meltdown in American society because the decision would be preceded by weeks and weeks of gut-wrenching vote flipping in the states described. With Trump supporters in a rage, a vote by Congress for Trump will be not only legal but expected as the majority in Congress is the party of Trump.
