Clerks in Wisconsin's 72 counties scrambled on Monday to handle the logistics of recounting nearly 3 million votes cast for president.
They were busy hiring and scheduling people to do the recount, figuring out where recounts will be held and arranging for security since the ballots must be secured 24 hours a day during the recount.
"We're trying to figure out all the logistics. How many people we'll need. How many tables and chairs. How many machines," Milwaukee County Clerk Joseph J. Czarnezki said Monday afternoon.
Sheboygan County Clerk Jon Dolson was elected four years ago and has never handled a recount. On Monday, he was reviewing notes from his predecessor following the last statewide recount, the Supreme Court election in 2011. Six people handled that recount in Sheboygan County. But now recount workers in Sheboygan County will have to count more than 58,000 presidential ballots cast in the county.
"I'm thinking maybe six or eight (workers) because it seems to be a shortened window" to complete the recount, said Dolson, adding that he'll probably hire poll workers because "you don't have to retrain them to work with tabulating machines."
Meanwhile, clerk's offices throughout the state will continue to issue marriage licenses, accept passport applications, sell hunting licenses and handle county board proceedings among other duties. By noon on Monday clerks had to submit an estimate of the cost to perform a recount in their counties.
Shawano County Clerk Pamela Schmidt will use the county's board of canvassers and call in additional poll workers who worked the presidential election. The county has a mix of hand ballots, touch screens and optical scanners to recount. She's tentatively scheduling her workers for 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. or 6 p.m. shifts including Saturdays.

The recount is open to the public.
Does Stein pay for this, or the Milwaukee County taxpayers?
Stein had to pay $3.5 million by 4:30 pm today or recount doesn’t go forward. Anyone know whether it was paid?
NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST TRUMP WILL PROSPER!!! Father in heaven please dry up soros bank account...curse him Lord that all his wealth melts away...in JESUS name...amen!!
Watch for the Soros ads in Craig’s List seeking “Vote Counters Wanted - must be able to discern that voters actually intended to vote for Hillary when they marked their ballots. $15/hour.”
Yes it was wired in.
I sense wholesale fraud here. I know the Dems, and I strongly suspect that their motives and tactics are as ruthless as they are corrupt. Would they go through the trouble if they had not have the means and ability to corrupt the vote count?
Have the ballots been secured against tampering up to now?

Eric Doster, general counsel for the Michigan Republican Party, estimates the cost for a statewide recount in MI could be as much as $10-12 million.
Seems that way to me also
Otherwise why bother
And why Hillary’s new grandmother look
I agree. This is clearly an election theft in progress. I hope Trump is taking this more seriously than some on this board. And, I suspect that he is. Any other Republican would already be apologizing to Hillary and congratulating her on her hard-won victory by now.
I am more worried about who they hire for security of ballots 24/7.
I share your concern, have they found a way to get more votes on the recount and turn the table on Trump?
Why would they spend the money and time and effort to do this unless they were certain of the outcome. I just don’t trust them.
I'm sure the media's been sworn to silence, and indeed, it's to Hillary's advantage to not highlight this right now. They're meeting deadlines by mere minutes intentionally... so Trump's people don't have time to counter attack.
If Hillary was really resigned to having lost, she would be on the networks daily running her mouth... instead she goes out of her way to stage "sightings" showing her appearing to be in complete "retirement". She has wanted this presidency for decades... invested a lot in it. She's not just walking away without a peep like that, no way.
I would hope everyone who wants Trump to win would be vocal about what's going on. Better to have too much of a defense than not enough. We can't let her get away with this... but things so far are lining up in her favor.
To win Wisconsin, Hillary! has to swing over 27,000 votes. That kind of recount swing is basically impossible. The *average* swing on a statewide recount is around 270 votes, only two orders of magnitude (!) less than what Hillary! would need.
I am probably wasting my breath with a few people here but again, the fraud is far more easier to do and more likely to take place before and during the vote concerning felons or nursing home scams or double voting or busing in as opposed to after the fact during a recount.
The Al Franken and Christine Gregoire races that were decided on handcounts had very extremely small victory margins. They involved automatic legal recounts and also involved disputed/previously rejected ballots at the centre of the recounts (as opposed to silly ideas of wheeling in boxes of previously “unaccounted” for votes).
