Democrats now backing Green Party’s push for a Wisconsin vote recount over voting machine questions

Former Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein filed a petition Friday to request a vote recount in Wisconsin, one of three recounts she is seeking in swing states won by Donald Trump this month. Wisconsin state Elections Commission Administrator Mike Haas said Stein, and one other group, filed the request at midafternoon.

The Hillary Clinton campaign will support efforts to recount election results in Wisconsin and beyond despite failing to uncover electoral abnormalities or manipulation. Marc Elias, Clinton’s campaign counsel, wrote on Medium that the campaign feels an obligation to support efforts by Jill Stein and the Green Party to ensure the accuracy of the count.
