The Michigan Board of Canvassers certified the Nov. 8 election results on Monday, affirming that Republican Donald Trump won the presidential race in the state with a 10,704-vote margin of victory over Democrat Hillary Clinton.
Here's what else we know:
Jill Stein, Green Party candidate for president, is expected to file a request for a recount of the election results by a 2 p.m. Wednesday deadline, said her attorney, Mark Brewer, former chairman of the Michigan Democratic Party.
The campaign of Donald Trump has hired two Michigan-based election lawyers — Gary Gordon and John Pirich — to represent them in any recount proceedings. They could file a challenge to the recount request within seven days after the request is filed.
If a recount request is made, a recount will begin Friday in the 19 largest counties in the state and will continue throughout the weekend. Smaller counties will be next, and the ballots will be counted in a central location in those initial 19 areas. If the recount goes on uninterrupted, it could be done by Dec. 9 or 10, said state officials.
If a challenge to a recount is filed, the recount will be paused while the Board of Canvassers resolves the challenge.

Has slick hilly started assembling a cabinet yet on the presumption she will overturn the election yet? If not than than the argument that the purpose of the recounts was to delegitimize the Trump’s presidency is likely correct.
Michigan SOS just tweeted that an objection to the recount will be filed today. I was in the middle of the webinar training for volunteers.
