Green Party Presidential Candidate Jill Stein says her supporters today filed requests to recount the vote in more than 100 precincts in Pennsylvania. The campaign says it expects recount requests to be filed in many more precincts in the Keystone State in the coming days. Pennsylvania state law requires that three voters in each precinct must submit an affidavit requesting a recount for that precinct.
On Friday, the campaign filed a request in Wisconsin for a statewide recount by hand and this coming Wednesday, Stein plans to request a recount in the state of Michigan. A spokesman says the recounts could begin in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin as soon as this week.
The campaign says it’s has raised $6.5 million toward a goal of $7 million to pay for the cost of the recounts.
