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.

I thought that was the county and not the city? Correct me if I am wrong.
December 19th, isn’t it?
December 13th is the day Anonymous will release their “Big News”.
Seinfeld: “Well then, I can’t tell you THE BIG NEWS!”
Elaine: “Ohhh, c’mon, c’mon, c’mong!!!”
Its almost over.
And stupid cow Stein has learned nothing from the futility of forcing a recount on WI.
That judge is blatantly disregarding the established precedent: Bush v. Gore.
Same for me. 1/21/2017 before I’ll feel even slightly better.
After the moving truck has taken out the last of Obama’s stuff.
it will stop when the likes of Soros, stein, Clinton, et al are hung for the traitors and seditionists they are.
death to tyrants.
On November 7, 2013, President Barack Obama nominated Peterson to serve as a United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin, to the seat vacated by Judge John C. Shabaz, who took senior status on January 20, 2009.[4] On February 6, 2014 his nomination was reported out of committee.[5] Cloture was filed on his nomination on May 6, 2014.[6] On Thursday May 8, 2014 the Senate voted on the motion to invoke cloture by a vote of 56-40.[7] The Senate voted 70-24 for final confirmation later the same day.[8] He received his judicial commission on May 12, 2014.
Milwaukee hasn’t reported. Look for a last minute report from heavily Democrat urban areas.
************************************************************
There are over 50,000 provisional and absentee ballots in Milwaukee. The margin of victory for Trump in WI is about 22,000. This means the 50,000 or so ballots in the city have already been counted and what we are waiting for is a RE count total.
Whenever provisional and absentee ballots ANYWHERE are equal too or more than the margin of difference between the candidates those ballots, all of them are counted and the totals applied to candidates. This is why the state was called for Trump.
Date and time?
How did the Jillster's demonstration in front of the MISC go yesterday?
There is a Hearing with the MI SC in case we forgot. Never trust the libs - we’ll see
And we lost 2 Mi SC votes when they recused themselves. So It’s 2-2 with 1 very shakey swing vote. Meanwhile Milwaukee has not reported and they know many votes they need to “find”. This is misery
All traitors deserve to be tried and (if found guilty) hung until dead with their dead bodies left there for the birds to peck on. There are many traitors.
Hillary isn’t going to get more than a few dozen votes out of Milwaukee.
They’ve come up empty in Dane. Relax.
For recursing themselves they should be stricken from the list. Weaklings they are.
recusing. Spell check has gotten worse in the last 20 years. AmiPro had a better strategery to get expression straightened out.
For recursing themselves they should be stricken from the list. Weaklings they are.
Very good point. The Dem Hacks Never recuse themselves. “The cause is to important”, These 2 should be removed from the list they don’t have the stones to stand up for what is right.
The Judicial Hack Kagan is the quintessential example of late.
Pocket change? Not hardly. $10B is pushing half of his entire net worth! Did you mean $10M?
December 13: States certify (if they haven’t already) and send to the National Archives their list of electors.
December 19: The Electors cast their ballots.
