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.

“...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.”
BTTT !!!
It can’t be repeated enough that those tallies are already figured in to the 22k victory margin.
Indeed, that’s why they called it for trump
Since the absentee ballots have already been counted once, how can they possibly find over 22k errors in the remaining 50k ballots they are recounting. That is insane.
Billyboy was saying those 50,000 provos and absentees were counted already, and this is a recount of everything.
They will never find enough “mistakes” in a recount. This is why we have been reading no recount has EVER turned up more than about a 1000 net votes for any one candidate.
ON this link from 2011 it shows Soros arleady spending $7 billion to overthrow the USA. So my point is the 10 million or who knows how much really Soros is spending on these recounts is pocket change to this marxist.
http://humanevents.com/2011/04/02/top-10-reasons-george-soros-is-dangerous/
here is just a little excerpt from the above link:
1. Gives billions to left-wing causes: Soros started the Open Society Institute in 1993 as a way to spread his wealth to progressive causes. Using Open Society as a conduit, Soros has given more than $7 billion to a who’s who of left-wing groups. This partial list of recipients of Soros’ money says it all: ACORN, Apollo Alliance, National Council of La Raza, Tides Foundation, Huffington Post, Southern Poverty Law Center, Soujourners, People for the American Way, Planned Parenthood, and the National Organization for Women.
2. Influence on U.S. elections: Soros once said that removing President George W. Bush from office in 2004 was the “central focus of my life.” He put his money where his mouth is, giving $23.58 million to various 527 groups dedicated to defeating Bush. His early financial support helped jump-start Barack Obama’s political career. Soros hosted a 2004 fund-raiser for Obama when he was running for the Illinois Senate and gave the maximum-allowed contribution within hours of Obama’s announcement that he was running for President.
I of course still hope I am wrong and Trump will win on the 13th I can finally relax.Soros has put me through hell .
“There is a Hearing with the MI SC in case we forgot. “
MISC hasn’t yet ruled on whether they’d take the appeal.
You all have said this will be killed at this step .Still going.I’ll relax on the 13th.
Progressive idiots paid millions of dollars to have Hillary lose by dozens of votes fewer. Whoop-de-sh**.
That would be cruelty to the birds, feeding them toxic waste.
Since Obama took office, Obama has steered billions of taxpayer dollars to George Soros to fund his anti America Jihad.
Yeah, it’s the county, but Madistan is the county seat.
You all have said this will be killed at this step .Still going.I’ll relax on the 13th.
I’m with you pal. Every time I relax a bit another snake pops up. MI-SC appeal, County recount in Pa, Obama using the FBI for BS Russia hack...
The hell that was Nov/Dec 2000 was over at this point and this crap goes on and on and on.
The LIBs are malignancies infecting the world. They will persist until they are crushed into dust.
On what freaking basis? Are we going to find a million votes or so that belong to Jill Stein? What a farce! I can’t believe the judiciary is really trying stop Trump’s presidency.
