[pols, curr ev, election2016] Recount: It's Happening
Stein, the Green party’s candidate in the presidential election, formally filed for a recount with Wisconsin authorities shortly before the state’s 5pm deadline on Friday. She also planned to request recounts in Michigan and Pennsylvania in the coming days.
Wisconsin’s election board agreed on Friday to the statewide recount. The process, including an examination by hand of the nearly 3 million ballots tabulated in the state, is expected to begin late next week after Stein’s campaign has paid the required fee, the Elections Commission said.

OMG, if you people pull this off I will send you $11 every year like a goddamned Nova Scotian Christmas tree for the rest of my natural life.
PLEASE HELP. They still need money to do this. They need $7M, and as of this moment, they're at $5.8M. Donate here. Please, give whatever you can, even if it's only a little. A nation of school-children funded the erection of the Statue of Liberty by pooling their pennies. We the People can do this. Can you spare even $5? Not to be alarmist or anything, but the fate of the world hangs in the balance.
ETA: VOLUNTEERS NEEDED IN PENNSYLVANIA, URGENTLY: In addition to the costs of a recount, we also need to find at least three voters in each election district willing to submit an affadavit to their county board of elections requesting a recount. We will be working with our legal team to develop the affadavit language to send to those willing to do so.
You can volunteer here.
They also need volunteers to observe the recount in every county in all three states. Volunteer here: PA, MI, WI.
