US election: Jill Stein’s recount push ends with minimal change in Wisconsin vote count

US election: Jill Stein’s recount push ends with minimal change in Wisconsin vote count, by Russell Brandom.

Just two weeks after it was launched, Jill Stein’s push for a recount of the presidential vote in three states has come to an anticlimactic end.

According to the Associated Press, an official recount in Wisconsin, bankrolled by Stein’s fundraising, found no evidence of hacking or other irregularities and altered vote totals by only a fraction of a percent. The final results saw Trump’s lead grow by 162 votes, with fewer than 1,800 votes changing out of a total of 3 million ballots cast. The result is well within expected margins of error.
