Hillary Clinton’s campaign will support the election recount effort launched by Green Party candidate Jill Stein in the battleground state of Wisconsin .
Clinton campaign lawyer Marc Elias wrote in a Medium post Saturday: “Because we had not uncovered any actionable evidence of hacking or outside attempts to alter the voting technology, we had not planned to exercise this option ourselves, but now that a recount has been initiated in Wisconsin, we intend to participate in order to ensure the process proceeds in a manner that is fair to all sides.”
According to NBC News, Wisconsin election officials have received Stein’s documents requesting the recount, and are now awaiting the cost estimate of such an undertaking that her camp would have to pay before the process could begin.
