(AP) Republican Donald Trump’s victory in Wisconsin was reaffirmed Monday following a recount that showed him defeating Democrat Hillary Clinton by more than 22,000 votes.
Wisconsin finalized its recount on the same day that a federal judge issued a stinging rejection of a Green Party-backed request to recount paper ballots in Pennsylvania’s presidential election and scan some counties’ election systems for signs of hacking.
Green Party candidate Jill Stein successfully requested, and paid for, the Wisconsin recount while her attempts for similar statewide recounts in Pennsylvania and Michigan were blocked by the courts. Stein only got about 1 percent of the vote in each of the states that Trump narrowly won on his way to the White House. She argued, without evidence, that voting machines in all three states were susceptible to hacking.
The numbers barely budged in Wisconsin after nearly 3 million votes were recounted. Trump picked up a net 162 votes and still won by more than 22,000 votes. The final results changed just 0.06 percent.
In Pennsylvania, U.S. District Judge Paul Diamond said there were at least six grounds that required him to reject the Green Party’s lawsuit, which had been opposed by Trump, the Pennsylvania Republican Party and the Pennsylvania attorney general’s office.
Suspicion of a hacked Pennsylvania election “borders on the irrational” while granting the Green Party’s recount bid could “ensure that no Pennsylvania vote counts” given Tuesday’s federal deadline to certify the vote for the Electoral College, wrote Diamond, an appointee of former President George W. Bush, a Republican.

PING!
Well we were told we had to have the recount to make sure our elections were fair and accurate and honest, so that everyone could have confidence in the results.
Yay! Now that we know elections are fair, accurate, and honest, everyone should trust them and we can put this nonsense issue to bed.
Then it is Confirmed that Trump won fair and square!
Not that it matters, but is the 162 vote gain (a) an increase in Trump’s vote total over the pre-recount total, or (b) an increase in Trump’s pre-recount lead over Hillary. The article is not clear to me either way.
It confirmed that Trump was originally cheated out of at least 162 votes in Wisconsin.
I still do not understand why Jill Stein had any standing to demand a recount when her vote totals were in single digits and she had no reasonable possibility of changing the outcome.
The only hacking in this election was done by dems through voter fraud and ballot stuffing.
Narrowly won? FL 2000 was a narrow win. PA, MI, WI, OH, not so much.
Why didn’t Hillary challenge the results herself (directly)? Why did she have to hide behind little Ms. 1% (of the vote)?
From what I've read, as long as you can pay for it you can request a recount. She was able to fork over millions, thanks to the suckers who donated to her heroic cause. See my tagline.
Hell no, it isn't confirmed. It seems the Ruskies had something to do with it.......
