Members from the state's Green Party are hosting viewing parties on how to train people interested in observing the presidential recount Thursday.
People from different political backgrounds gathered in Muskego on Tuesday night to train for the historic recount process.
"I'm interested in how the whole election process works and how it doesn't work," said Jim Shepard, of Woodstock, Illinois.
The effort is being funded and led by Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein, who addressed the crowd remotely through Skype.
"We're going to start by recounting the votes in Wisconsin," Stein said.
People in attendance were given guidance by members of the state's Green Party as well as lawyers on how they can properly observe the recount in their county.
The guidelines discussed Tuesday are similar to tips given to observers during the recount of the state's Supreme Court race in 2011.
"It's about learning the process of what to look for, discrepancies-wise, if there is a discrepancy on a ballot," said Tyrone Payton, a national delegate of the Green Party from Wisconsin.
Payton said people are allowed to watch, take notes and even video record the recount process.
Many who came to the meeting are not members of the Green Party and don't even expect a change in the outcome; they just find the process interesting.
"I don't frankly expect there to be a change or anything, but I still think it's an opportunity," said Renee Dudley, of Milwaukee.
If anyone does see problems in the recount process, they are allowed to step in and say something to an official.
Every county will have a secure place where they will do the recount.
