Earlier, a group of computer scientists claimed there were possible irregularities in the vote count and urged the campaign of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton to challenge the election results in key swing states. Several experts, however, have questioned the wisdom of that course of action.
Regardless, Stein raised more than $5 million to file for recounts in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan.
"Our effort to recount votes in those states is not intended to help Hillary Clinton," she wrote, but instead "are part of an election integrity movement to attempt to shine a light on just how untrustworthy the U.S. election system is."
In Wisconsin, because Stein lost by more than a 0.25 percent margin, she has to foot the bill for the recount — expected to be at least $500,000, Hass told Wisconsin Public Radio earlier this week. Stein estimates that number to be $1.1 million.
Stein is already asking for volunteers to observe the recount process.
