A federal judge on Friday dismissed a request from President-elect Donald Trump's supporters to halt a recount in Wisconsin, according to a new report.
Judge James Peterson's ruling in Madison will let the controversial review requested by Green Party nominee Jill Stein continue, reports The Wisconsin State Journal.
Stein initially requested the recount in Wisconsin to determine whether election machines there were hacked last month.
President-elect Donald Trump defeated Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton by more than 22,000 votes in the state on Election Day.
Two pro-Trump groups, the Great America PAC and the Stop Hillary PAC, filed a federal lawsuit Dec. 1, the day the recount began, seeking to halt the process. Wisconsin’s recount was more than 82 percent finished as of Wednesday and Clinton had gained 61 votes so far.
Stein is also seeking recounts in Michigan and Pennsylvania, which, like Wisconsin, are typically blue states Trump narrowly won in the election.
The Green Party nominee received about 1 percent in all three states. She argues her efforts are to ensure the electoral process’s legitimacy, rather than to change the outcome.
AP added a federal judge in Pennsylvania on Friday will hold a hearing on whether a recount effort can formally begin there as well.

“You all have said this will be killed at this step .Still going.I’ll relax on the 13th.”
Michigan was the one that was killed.
Wisconsin was always likely to have a completed recount.
A statewide PA recount is likely to never happen, though.
All three states have VERY different rules about how recounts can and should take place.
Looks to me like Soros is appealing to the MI Supreme court and already got his army of lawyers to get 2 pro Trump justices recused. This ii a bigger operation than one lone “crazy” stein.
Soros has given 10 billion dollars to turn the USA into a socialist state , proof here:

Yes it keeps going on . I’ll relax on the 13th.
“Looks to me like Soros is appealing to the MI Supreme court”
MISC has yet to agree to accept the appeal for hearing. My guess is they won’t, but will simply run out the clock regarding the Federal December 13th certification deadline, while ultimately letting the MI Court of Appeals decision stand as written.
If they decide to hear the appeal.
They took it . But rejected 3-2 too close 1 vote from a coup.
2 democrat demons voted for a recount. the democrat party is the enemy.
you think soros won’t apply To SCOTUS without Scalia there?
