Michigan Set to Begin Presidential Recount

HeadlineDec 05, 2016

Michigan has become the second state to conduct a recount of the presidential election. Early this morning a federal judge ordered officials to begin recounting ballots today at noon. The order was made following a request by Green Party presidential candidate Dr. Jill Stein. Donald Trump won Michigan by under 10,000 votes out of 5.5 million cast. A recount is already underway in Wisconsin. Meanwhile, Stein’s efforts to force a recount in Pennsylvania were dealt a setback when a judge ordered petitioners to post a $1 million bond. Stein is holding a press conference outside Trump Tower today at 10 a.m. to discuss next steps on the recount.
