Officials in Wisconsin are preparing to conduct a full recount of the votes from the US election in the state, which was narrowly won by Donald Trump.<\/p>\n
A formal request for the recount was filed by the Green Party’s Jill Stein.<\/p>\n
Dr Stein, the Green Party’s candidate, has also pledged to file for recounts in Michigan and Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n
Lawyers for Hillary Clinton’s campaign say they will participate in the Wisconsin recount, though it is thought highly unlikely the result will change.<\/p>\n
The result would need to be overturned in all three states to change the outcome of the election.<\/p>\n
The Clinton campaign’s general counsel, Marc Elias, said there was no evidence to conclude the election was sabotaged<\/a>, but “we have an obligation to the more than 64 million Americans who cast ballots for Hillary Clinton to participate in ongoing proceedings to ensure that an accurate vote count will be reported”.<\/p>\n Dr Stein reportedly wants to make sure computer hackers did not skew the poll in favour of Mr Trump.<\/p>\n US election results<\/a><\/p>\n$7m fundraising target<\/h2>\n
