Wisconsin judge orders presidential vote recount to continue: local media
A recount of presidential votes will continue in Wisconsin, one of three states where the Green Party is pursuing recounts of the Nov. 8 election, local news media reported on Friday.
A political action committee supporting President-elect Donald Trump sought to stop the Wisconsin recount, which is already underway, but U.S. District Judge James Peterson dismissed the request and said the recount would continue, according to local news media.
"The recount is an inherent part of what ensures the integrity of elections," the Wisconsin State Journal quoted Peterson as saying during Friday's hearing.
However, even if the recounts in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin sought by Green Party Presidential candidate Jill Stein go ahead, they would be extremely unlikely to change the outcome of the election in which Trump, a Republican, defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton.
