Jill Stein, the Green Party nominee who is back in the news as she calls for a recount in Rust Belt states, managed to file a petition for a recount in Wisconsin just in time. Stein announced she had raised the $1.1 million required to pay for the recount, and the Wisconsin Election Commission tweeted Friday afternoon that they had received the recount petition. Stein is calling for recounts in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan.
