There is no evidence that millions voted illegally. Wisconsin is the first of a possible three states to issue a recount.

The state awards its 16 electoral votes to Trump, giving him a total of 306 of the 538 available, well above the 270 threshold a candidate needs to win the presidency, Efe news agency reported. By announcing, three weeks after Ms Clinton conceded the race, that it would participate in the Wisconsin recount, her team has helped reignite the contentious atmosphere of the campaign, of which Mr Trump’s Twitter barrages were a fixture.

Local elections officials were to submit estimates for how much the recount will cost by noon Monday.

More than 30 counties told the Elections Commission they planned to do a hand recount whether it is ordered by a judge or not.

The recount of Wisconsin’s presidential vote will begin Thursday if the state receives payment on Tuesday. Stein intends to challenge the ruling in court.

President-elect Donald Trump has lashed out on Twitter criticizing CNN as he faces questions about his unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud. Others fear that she could use the recount effort to unduly peddle influence by getting donors to shill for certain politicians or political agendas she is aligned with.
