A couple of days ago, [personal profile] teaotter made a post about Jill Stein fundraising for vote recounts in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan.

The campaign has now raised sufficient funds for recounts in Wisconsin (with the Wisconin Elections Commisssion having received the recount petition on Friday 25) and Pennsylvania, where the filing deadline is Monday 28. At the time of making this post, the campaign still needed to raise around $1.1 million to fund a recount in Michigan, where the filing deadline is Wednesday 30.

Stein is also appealing for volunteers to observe the recount in each of the three states and, in the case of Pennsylvania, needs to find at least three voters in each election district willing to submit an affidavit to their county board of elections requesting a recount.

If you're interested in volunteering as an observer, or you're a voter in Pennsylvania willing to sign an affidavit, you can find out more and submit your details at the pages for each state:

Michigan
Pennsylvania
Wisconsin

Hillary Clinton's campaign has also come out in support of the recount, and intends to participate "in order to ensure the process proceeds in a manner that is fair to all sides", according to Marc Elias, the Clinton campaign's counsel.
