Now that Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein has received over $5 million to fund a recount in Wisconsin, and other battleground states, an official from the Clinton campaign has announced that they would be assisting with the recount efforts, even as the final results are not expected to change.
The Clinton campaign has already been on the lookout for tampering
Marc Elias, general counsel for the Clinton campaign, said in a post on Medium this morning that the organization will “participate in order to ensure the process proceeds in a manner that is fair to all sides.”
Since the election, Elias noted, the Clinton campaign has been working to examine the election results, consulting with data scientists and lawyers to look for evidence of tampering, and has been weighing its options when it comes to audits and recounts. Thus far, their efforts have not uncovered any “evidence of manipulation of results.”
