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.

Well, it is 82% over.
The real issue isn’t ending it; it’s being ready for Dec. 13 electoral college vote submission.

Milwaukee hasn’t reported. Look for a last minute report from heavily Democrat urban areas.
Yeah, judge, we know you Democrats refuse to accept election results.
If you’re a Democrat, you refuse to accept election results.
It’s what you do.
It’s not PA Supreme Court - Stein withdrew her PA court challenge. The hearing about PA today is in federal court.
Thanks
Michigan is done.
Stop talking about it.
This has been hell.Soros needs to be arrested . Soros has spent $10 billion already to overthrow the USA the money for these recounts is just pocket change.

How do Feral Courts have jurisdiction over State voting laws regarding Federal Elections? It’s a GREAT conflict of interest.
My question is when is this crap going to stop?....Stein is going nowhere...Trump will be President how the hell did judges get all this power and how do we de-throne the buggers?
There is a Hearing with the MI SC in case we forgot. Never trust the libs - we’ll see
Playing dead.
“stein”(soros) seem to be getting ready to appeal to the MI supreme court and got 2 pro Trump justices to recuse themselves.
Please correct title to “PA Fed Hearing Today”
nah, you probably won’t relax until January 21st, 2017. After the 13th the talk is going to be about faithless electors until the 19th. After that, assuming all goes well, the talk will be about “an accident”.
” Look for a last minute report from heavily Democrat urban areas.”
I thought Trump picked up a dozen votes in Dane County? That’s where Madistan is.
I know you wanted my tax return filed by April 15th, but currently I'm hand recounting my income (penny by penny) and unfortunately will not be able to meet the April 15th date. As soon as I am finished I will forwarded the tax return.
Have a nice day :)

Exactly, we’re asking to have Washington determine our elections. Feds should have no say in state elections.
