US To Recount The Presidential Election Votes by KINGBEN1(m): 8:33pm On Nov 24, 2016 |
As counting of votes in the US election draws down, Hillary Clinton the democratic candidate wins the popular votes by a margin of well over 2 million. Critics and scientists have called for a recount of votes in the 3 key battleground states where she lost with a small margin i.e. Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein said on Thursday she has raised $3.5 million to force recounts of the Nov. 8 election results in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, three states where Donald Trump scored narrow wins. The campaign said it exceeded its initial goal for raising $2.5 million and has enough money to pay Wisconsin's $1.1 million filing fee due on Friday. At the same time, the party said it raised its target to $4.5 million, with filing deadlines approaching in Pennsylvania on Monday and Michigan on Wednesday. Stein is pushing for recounts because experts pointed to statistical anomalies in the tallies in all three battleground states, according to the party's website. Although Clinton won more votes than Trump on a nationwide basis, the real estate developer exceeded the number of votes in the Electoral College needed to take the presidency. Electoral votes are apportioned state by state, mostly on a winner-take-all basis. Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein took a little more than 1 percent of the popular vote, while Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson came in third place behind Trump and Clinton. Stein's website said that the total cost of recounts in the three states was $6 million to $7 million, but it did not explain why the campaign's new target was only $4.5 million.
