Recounts in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania?-Current Event Victoria Gonzalez

After the 2016 election results, the country has gone through major outbursts from both sides. For the Republican party (or at least Donald Trump supporters) were thrilled and overjoyed. For the Democrats and everyone else, however, they felt completely devastated especially since Hillary won in the popular vote by 2 million people. But even though the results are "done and finished", many people are attempting to do otherwise. Jill Stein has raised enough money to ask for a recount in the states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin to which Wisconsin has already agreed to cooperate while the other two have not been decided. But despite the fact that it is in fact constitutionally possible for the recount to change who is in office, the possibility is slim that the recount would actually change and make Clinton our president in 2017. Mainly due to the fact that Wisconsin has a major impact on Trump's victory, and so many votes that went his way are hard to deny or prove to be incorrectly counted.  But after this election came to a close, majority of us have learned that anything can happen.
