Trump, the Republican presidential candidate, won Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin by a total of just over 100,000 votes. However, during the campaign Trump himself threatened to reject the result if he lost, alleging that the race was "rigged" by the media and the establishment elite. It was not immediately clear how the Clinton campaign plans to take part in the recount. But he said the Clinton campaign had seen no evidence so far the election results had been manipulated in Trump's favor. Stein has cited unspecified "anomalies" as grounds to mount a challenge to the November 8 election results in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
