LANSING, Mich. — The Latest on presidential recount efforts in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin (all times local):
1:45 p.m.
Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein has requested a full hand recount of Michigan’s presidential vote.
Stein requested the recount on Wednesday. She had already requested recounts in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
Republican Donald Trump won all three states. He defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton in Michigan by 10,704 votes out of nearly 4.8 million ballots cast. Stein alleges that irregularities and the potential for hacking into scanning devices call into question the results.
The Michigan recount could start as early as Friday.
Trump’s victory is highly unlikely to be reversed in any of the states. But Stein says the recount will ensure the integrity of the election.
Republicans say the recount will cost taxpayers far more than the $973,000 Stein must pay when filing her recount petition.

Short answer: No.
This woman is under the tremendous strain of trying to be relevant...LOL
“Stein alleges that irregularities and the potential for hacking into scanning devices call into question the results.”
Which is laughable in Michigan, since apparently it was done on paper ballots and then counted and then recounted again before certification on Monday.
This woman is a persistent HEMORRHOID.
Anyone know Michigan law on this? Why isn’t the time limit already expired?
I’d set the price on the recount at about a billion dollars.
Stein just got smacked down in Wisconsin. By a LIBERAL judge. in Dane County! In, ‘The People’s Republik of Madistan!’
Now THERE is a head-scratcher for ya, LOL!
Here’s the proof, but you don’t have to bother to give them a hit just because our local Communist Rag of a newspaper got one right, LOL!
local GOP says 12 million cost to review 75,000 ‘blank’ ballot intents...
Probably because the want to overturn the election as badly as Hillary does. Who knows. Unless Trump starts making noise about it it’s just going to cause undue stress to follow it
Now THAT is an intelligent looking human bean....
These articles never end stating the same crap over the course of the last week.
Hopefully the complaint will cause more libs to make even more boastful (yet foolish) remarks.
" Never interfere with the enemy when he is in the process of destroying himself."
In this instance the complaint is probably just a poke in the ribs to get them going faster...
.
Since everyone (Stein, Greenies, Dems) is saying the recounts will not overturn the results why don’t they simply begin this process after 12/19? This is what happened with Florida 2000 once the Supreme Court stopped those recounts. Afterwards several news agencies conducted recounts and came up with the same results.
Am I missing something here?
Smack down my azzz
Fifty-six counties have told the commission or the Wisconsin State Journal that they plan to do full or partial hand recounts. Other counties plan to use scanning machines to re-tabulate the votes.
The most common theory is that she wants to force Trump’s EV total below 270, which will throw the election to the House of Representatives.
They will of course still elect Trump.
But then the Left will be able to whine about him being
“selected, not elected” and use that to undercut him
at ever turn.
Just like they did with Bush after FloriDUH 2000.
Exactly right. She gets hand recount anyway in 74% of counties incl.Madistan.
Michigan’s SOS is a Pubbie.
