MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The Latest on Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein's request for a recount in Wisconsin (all times local):
Tuesday November 29, 2016
4:30 p.m.
Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein has delivered $3.5 million to the state of Wisconsin to guarantee a recount of the presidential vote there.
Stein faced a 4:30 p.m. deadline to deliver the money so a recount could start on Thursday. The Wisconsin Elections Commission says they got a wire transfer shortly before Tuesday's deadline.
Stein says she worries the results were hacked, and says a recount is the only way to know for sure. Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton by about 22,000 votes, and Stein was far back.
Stein was in court Tuesday afternoon seeking to force the Wisconsin recount to be done by hand. She is also pursuing recounts in Michigan and Pennsylvania.
5:35 p.m.
A judge has allowed Hillary Clinton to join Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein's lawsuit seeking a hand recount in Wisconsin.
Dane County Circuit Judge Valerie Bailey-Rihn granted a request from Clinton's attorneys to join the lawsuit without comment during a hearing Tuesday afternoon. Clinton's team had argued she has a stake in the recount and manual counting is the most transparent method for the public.
Donald Trump beat Clinton by about 22,000 votes in Wisconsin.
The state Elections Commission is preparing to launch the recount at Stein's request on Thursday. The commission has denied her request to run the recount entirely by hand, prompting Stein to sue.

EDIT: Oh.... and the Independent party candidate withdrew his name from the complaint so now its the Jill & Hillary show ...
