I am disappointed that they ended the recount with a moo poo argument about cost.  They seemed to get everyone to believe that it was going to cost 5 mil.   That is over $1/ballot to count, wtf.   

 

Macomb cty was paying a temp agency just under $15/hr. to count.   Seems like most of the cost would go to Schutte's office for all the court cases they filed.  

 

It was really informative to find out all the problems with how the system works or I should say doesn't.

well thats what happens when republicans get their bunny muffin in order to count the heavy republican counties first, showing no voting problems.

 

they get counted first, show theres no voting problems, fed judge agrees.

 

should have started in oakland co.

   The Wisconsin vote changed by .06%.

So, it is right to recount because the totals are simply wrong.

recounts strengthen democracy.

No such thing as Democracy after what happened to senator Sanders.

State of MI will audit 20 precincts in City of Detroit, since they had so many problems with the recount.

Wisconsin completes recount, reaffirming Trump’s victory

Election officials in Wisconsin announced Monday that they have concluded their recount and that President-elect Donald Trump won the state by a margin that changed very little after the votes were tallied a second time.

The conclusion of the recount comes after Green Party candidate Jill Stein made a push to re-canvass the vote in Wisconsin and two other states where Trump won narrowly. Her efforts have not produced significant changes to the initial tallies and have not altered Trump's victory.

In Wisconsin, officials said Trump defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton by 22,748 votes out of about 3 million cast — an uptick of 131 over his initial advantage over Clinton.

“The biggest reason for these small differences between the unofficial results on Election Night, the counties original canvasses and the recount results is human error,” Wisconsin Elections Commission Administrator Michael Haas said in a statement. “Some voters do not follow the instructions and mark their ballots correctly for the machines can count them. In the tight deadlines to report the results, election officials make math mistakes, we forget things, we accidentally transpose numbers.”

Stein requested the Wisconsin recount and submitted payment for it, because the margin was not slim enough to trigger an automatic recount financed by the state. She also pursued recounts in Michigan and Pennsylvania. The recount in Michigan was stopped by a federal judge. In Pennsylvania, Stein's efforts to force a statewide recount have fallen short.

Stein finished well behind Trump and Clinton. She pushed for recounts over concerns about potential hacking and other irregularities. She presented no evidence to back up her claims.

In a statement, Stein applauded the workers and observers who took part in the Wisconsin recount. She also expressed disappointment that not all the counties underwent full hand recounts as she had initially requested.
