In US, officials in Wisconsin State are preparing to conduct a full recount of the votes from the presidential election, which was narrowly won by Donald Trump. <br/><br/>A formal request for the recount in the State was filed by the Green Party's Jill Stein. He has also pledged to file for recounts in Michigan and Pennsylvania. The result would need to be overturned in all three states to change the outcome of the election, something analysts say is highly unlikely. <br/><br/>Dr Jill Stein reportedly wants to make sure computer hackers did not skew the poll in favour of Mr Trump. In a statement, the Wisconsin Elections Commission said it had received two recount petitions from the Jill Stein campaign and from Rocky Roque De La Fuente, a businessman who ran unsuccessfully to be the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee.<br/><br/>Wisconsin Election Commission Administrator Michael Haas said the Commission is preparing to move forward with a statewide recount of votes for President of the United States, as requested by these candidates. He said the recount would begin in the week after Dr Stein's campaign has paid the fee, which the commission was still calculating.
