Trump backers challenge state recountsLANSING, Michigan -- President-elect Donald Trump and his supporters went to court Friday to prevent or halt election recounts in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, less than two weeks before the states would have to complete the tasks to meet a federal deadline to certify their election results. The legal actions seeking to block or halt the recounts in three states Trump narrowly won could cause delays that would make them extremely difficult or impossible to complete on time. Even if the recounts happen, though, none would be expected to give Democrat Hillary Clinton enough votes to emerge as the winner. "Trump's desperate attempts to silence voter demands raise a simple question: why is Donald Trump afraid of these recounts?" Clinton lost to Trump in Wisconsin by about 22,000 votes, or less than 1 percentage point.
