Clinton camp wants to participate in recounting
Donald Trump is already in the process of forming his government. But now there should be a recount of votes. Hillary Clinton, the US presidential nominee, will support the process.
Clinton wanted to participate actively in the procedures, the lawyer of the Clinton campaign, Mark Erik Elias, informed. How exactly this participation should look, remained open.
Experts consider the reclassification of Clinton as a result of the presidency, but for very little. Thus the camp had not taken the initiative itself, but was now merely joining the Green Party candidate, Jill Stein, who was completely unimportant in the election.
She has already applied for a "Recount" in Wisconsin, which has been approved, and is planning to pet the two other states.
In a written statement, he accused the Greens, who had received less than one per cent of the votes, to fill only their cash office.
He was referring to the fact that in the past days, Stein had collected several million dollars in donations to finance the recount.
Trump had won in Wisconsin with a lead of about 23,000 votes and also Pennsylvania decided for itself. He also seems to be heading for a victory in Michigan, where the results will be officially confirmed on Monday.
The recount in Wisconsin must be completed by December 13th. Willstein also has to submit appropriate applications in the other two states, she must do so in Pennsylvania on Monday, according to the "Washington Post", in Michigan on Wednesday. Then the deadlines run.

Limited result in three countries
In detail, it is about Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan, where the election result in each case was extremely scarce. If Clinton had won in these three states on November 8, she and not her Republican opponent Donald Trump would have become the winner. |

Trump: Result must be respected
Trump described Stein's approach as "obnoxious" and called on them to respect the election result of November 8th. "The people spoke, and the election is over," he said. "We must accept this result and look to the future."In a written statement, he accused the Greens, who had received less than one per cent of the votes, to fill only their cash office.

Wahlautomaten prone to hacker attacks
Computer experts had pointed out that the Wahlautomaten used in Wisconsin were susceptible to hacker attacks and can not be used in other states, such as California.
The favored Clinton had been much worse off in voting districts where electoral machines were used than in ballots, where handwritten ballots had been placed.
Elias himself, however, dampened the hope of Clinton supporters to be able to reverse the election result. In his own investigations, there were no evidence of disagreements, so the Clinton camp itself had not applied for recounts, he said.
But now that the stone has come into play, "we intend to participate to ensure that the process is done in a way that is fair for all sides."
Nationwide, the vote on Clinton on November 8 was two million more votes than Trump. The awarding of the electors is, however, based on the Winner-Takes-All principle, on the basis of the federal states: high victories count no more than scarce.
