PRESIDENTIAL RECOUNT: HOW IT WORKS AND CLINTON'S CHANCES OF SUCCESS

President-elect Donald Trump went on a tweetstorm Sunday morning, quoting Hillary Clinton’s debate promise to accept the election results a day after her campaign agreed to support efforts to recount votes in Wisconsin, an effort his transition team labeled a “scam.”

Razor-thin margins in key battleground states delivered the election for Trump, who stands at 290 electoral votes despite Clinton’s nearly 2-million-vote edge in the popular vote.

Last week, a group of election lawyers and computer scientists urged the Clinton campaign to ask for recounts in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, where anomalies indicated either benign problems with voting machines or possible tampering or fraud. In some Wisconsin counties, for example, more votes were recorded than there were registered voters.
