A recount of the 2016 presidential election results in battleground Wisconsin will start next week, adding new drama to an already contentious election filled with surprise twists.
The recount comes after a group of professors and lawyers raised concerns about the possibility of hacking. Donald Trump decried the recount as a “scam” in a statement on November 26.
The Wisconsin Election Commission “is preparing to move forward with a statewide recount of votes for President of the United States,” Administrator Michael Haas announced in a written statement on November 25.
The recount was requested by the Green Party after its nominee, Jill Stein, raised more than $5.4 million in just over one day to fund recounts in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, all states that were surprise upsets for Donald Trump and which he won by fairly small margins.

Every Republican in politics should point out that Hillary has stooped far lower than Richard Nixon. For the sake of the country, he did not dispute an election which he had far more reason to question than Clinton does. I wish that every Republican with any authority would make the Nixon comparison to show what a scoundrel she is. She is creating turmoil and uncertainty for her own political power.
I am sure that she has more tricks up her sleave. She and her cohorts will try anything.
I believe the Dems knew weeks before the election that Hillary Clinton would fail, and had all of these contingency plans lined up.
For the love of God, will this nightmare never end?!!!
“Appointed” appears to be a key word. If a recount is not finished in time, then, it seems to me, that no electors are appointed from that state. The majority would therefore be a majority of those who are appointed to actually vote. But Clinton will be working on bribing, blackmailing, and intimidating the remaining Trump electors, too.
She even called off the fireworks for her victory party.
Does Obama have any role in the recount or is he just an observer?
i am again out of popcorn...
Trump needs to act fast if he wants recounts in other states:
For NV - Election certified on Tuesday. Recount must be petitioned within 3 business days.
For VA - Election certified on Monday 11/21. Recount must be petitioned within 10 days.
For CO - Election certified on Tuesday 11/22. Recount must be petitioned within 10 days.
“One positive development result from Jill Stein’s reason for a recount is an acknowledgement that electronic voting machines are subject to hacking”
Electronic voting machines aren’t connected to the internet. To hack them you would have to interface with each one directly while staying out of the view of poll watchers.
Hillary, now at 232, would have to flip all 3 to win....THAT'S why this is stupid...and just a game.
It has to do with a money scheme I'm sure. We'll have to hang in there to find out.
I think it's moving money around but I don't know how...maybe out of the Foundation somehow.
Maybe they ran the clock out so Trump can not ask for a recount, in the states that are questionable for Hillary.
I’m saying money scheme of some kind.
Democrat hacking will be studiously NOT discovered. It will be claimed impossible to divine which way all the illegal aliens voted or the dead people or which way the people voted who voted dozens of times.
There is no way to hack these machines as they are not connected to the Internet.
Any election not won by a Democrat is “contentious,” “controversial.”
“and just a game.”
Agreed. It is an effort on the part of the Dems to cover their horrendous loss. If they can get enough Dem and Socialist mad enough, they scream for four years that the election was stolen. Remember the Gore fiasco.
Create enough havoc to keep your troops in line. Unfortunately, no one will really look at the illegal and fraudulent votes by the Dems elsewhere.
>>What CONTENTIOUS election are they talking about?
When the Democrat loses, it’s contentious.
