Green Party-backed group wants a recount in Pennsylvania
As of Monday, she had raised $6.2 million to finance recounts, according to her campaign website.
A spokeswoman said the department is now working to get that information.
Michigan’s recount policy is to count every ballot by hand.
“Specifically that means we are going to jump through some hoops”, Stein said in the video. The recount will begin Thursday if payment for the process is received by Tuesday. The recount must be certified by December 13, 2015 in order to guarantee that Wisconsin’s electoral college votes are counted.
“Clearly, she won big in California”, he said.
Trump’s win in MI gives the Republican 306 electoral votes to Democrat Hillary Clinton’s 232. In Wisconsin, where Stein asked for a recount last week, elections officials on Monday announced a timeline and procedure for it.
Commission Administrator Michael Haas said he expects many counties to complete the recount in about a week. Because of the margins, the states are not absorbing the costs of recounting the votes. A recount there can not simply be triggered by a candidate’s request. It rejected the Stein campaign’s request for a statewide hand recount, instead leaving it to each county to decide whether to use a machine or not. “Hillary Clinton and Jill Stein should make sure that this recount does not happen”.
President-Elect Donald Trump has called the potential recount requests “ridiculous”. Still, Clinton’s campaign was joining a recount led by Green Party candidate Jill Stein in up to three states.
“What the president says about our system is very important”, Thomsen said.
“There is no evidence of illegal voters”, Stein said in response. “Since the electoral college is the vote that counts, I think that the popular vote is irrelevant”, said John.
A Wisconsin judge on Tuesday allowed Hillary Clinton to join Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein’s lawsuit Tuesday demanding a hand recount of the state’s election, a process that may cost Stein about $400,000 more than she anticipated.
County clerks statewide had until noon Monday to submit their estimated costs for conducting the recount.
The deadline to request a recount in Wisconsin was Friday, November 25, which is why that’s set.
The chairman of the Wisconsin Elections Commission says a recount of the presidential election will reassure voters that the election was fair and accurate.
The recount itself could be costly.
The Wisconsin Elections Commission is holding an emergency phone conference on Monday to establish plans for the state to move forward with a recount of the state’s vote tally in this month’s presidential election. Workers will have to examine each ballot to determine the voter’s intent. The statement released by her team said the touch-screen method (or Direct Record Electronic) doesn’t keep a paper record of votes made; other states have phased out such voting methods over security concerns.
Stein would have to get a court order for a hand recount.
By continuing to raise money, she is building up a larger donor list that she can later turn to if she runs again.
