Recounts will be done by county boards of canvassers, which will likely have to work nights and weekends, Haas said.

IF they even get that far. Each candidate can object to the recount and the boards of canvassers can make determinations of fact; it is an undisputed fact that there is no possible way for Jill Stein to gain over 1,000,000 votes to become the winner of the election, and that this recount is entirely meaningless.

Should a board (or boards) fail to agree on this minor piece of truth, I suspect that it will go to the courts.

“the state could risk losing its ability to have its 10 electoral votes counted if it doesn’t meet key deadlines next month.”

That is not what happened in FLA

The recount would not have been able to meet the deadline so it never started
If what is posted is true FLA would have started and then said we can't finish

From the article....”Excess money raised for the recount will go to Green Party campaign schools next year “to groom local candidates,” Martin said.”

I thought she wanted a beach house like Bernie but perhaps this would give her more power...

If they did, what do you expect from the Urinal Sentinel? Only good for starting fires, wrapping fish and lining bird cages.

Completely irrelevant. Hilary has ALREADY conceded defeat to Trump. It is over. If she wanted a recount, she had to ask for one prior to conceding.

It is too late to recount other than for academic purposes. Sorry commie libs. Too late. You lost. Hilary conceded.

You sure that it's the state legislature's call to make if they don't meet the deadline? Because according to the article:

"If the recount isn't complete by then, electors from Wisconsin could meet anyway and try to have their results sent to Congress by the time it counts the votes on Jan. 6, Foley said. Congress has wide latitude to decide how to count the states' electoral votes."

A concession speech is not any kind of legal or official action. It’s merely a formality. Plenty of sore losers have never made concession speeches. And if you will recall, in November - December 2000, Gore first conceded, then un-conceded, then eventually re-conceded.

You know, she might not be doing it to help Hillary. Maybe the reason the democrats didn’t do this recount crap first is because.....the knew a recount would uncover millions of voter fraud cases and wikileaks would unleash a billion emails pointing to the White House.....

shooot, i say go ahead and recount.....it will help show the world and the young people of America how hopelessly corrupt the Regressive Alt-Left Democratic Party is.

Not sure. I was assuming the state handled it like many other states do - where it flips to the state legislature. But perhaps WI has different provisions. We’ll soon learn, I imagine.
