Trump Assails Clinton for Joining Vote Recount Effort

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump assailed Democrat Hillary Clinton on Sunday for joining an effort to recount votes in three closely contested states that Trump won, recalling that she said during one of their debates that election losers should accept the outcome even when they don't like it.


In his long campaign, the Republican Trump said the election was "rigged" against him, but he is calling Green Party nominee Jill Stein's bid to start recounts in Wisconsin, Michigan and Wisconsin a "scam" and derided Clinton's decision to join the effort. Out of millions of votes cast, Trump won all three states over Clinton — by about 27,000 votes in Wisconsin, 12,000 in Michigan and 68,000 in Pennsylvania — with Stein getting about 1 percent of the vote in each of them.

"Hillary Clinton conceded the election when she called me just prior to the victory speech and after the results were in," Trump said on Twitter. "Nothing will change."
