After Donald Trump's victory over Hillary Clinton in the 2016 US Presidential Elections, Hillary Clinton's camp have received hundreds of messages and pleas asking them to look into the issue of the election claims being altered and hacked in favor of Trump. Now with much thought, Hillary Clinton's campaign decides to join the efforts of the recount on key states, says Marc Elias, campaign counsel on Saturday.
Continuing, Elias writes that the past elections were unique in a way that there has been plenty of foreign interference throughout the entire campaign. It has also been concluded by the US government that it was the Russian state actors who were behind the hacks of personal email accounts of Hillary for America campaign officials and the DNC.
In an article by The Hollywood Reporter, the Wisconsin elections officials said on Friday that for the first time in state history, there would be a recount because they are pushing through with it. Elias, in a statement also said that if all goes well as Jill Stein has said and continued to pursue the recount in Michigan and Pennsylvania, they will do the same thing to those states as well.
Meanwhile, learning about this, the President-elect Donald Trump sent out multiple tweets on Sunday some quoting on Hillary Clinton's acknowledgment speech to her supporters that they should accept that Donald Trump is going to be the President.
Here are some of his tweets:
Trump is going to be our President. We owe him an open mind and the chance to lead." So much time and money will be spent - same result! Sad

While Donald Trump did not pay much attention to the efforts made by Jill Stein on the recount, Stein has been able to raise money amounting to millions. Clinton's joining on the recount caught Trump's attention calling them a scam and saying that he doubts the money raised by Jill Stein would even be used on the recount.
Donald Trump continues on saying that the recount was a scam by the Green Party for an election that has already been conceded and that the election results should be respected and not abused like what Jill Stein is doing.
