Michigan recount now in doubt; Pennsylvania sets hearing

DETROIT (AP) — Michigan's presidential recount appeared in doubt on Wednesday, two days after it started, after a state appeals court said the Green Party candidate's poor showing in the election disqualified her from seeking another look at the vote.

[...] the fate of Green Party candidate Jill Stein's request for a recount in Pennsylvania must wait at least until a federal court hearing on Friday, just four days before the Dec. 13 federal deadline for states to certify their election results.

Here's what's happening in each state and in Nevada, where a partial recount of the race was requested by independent presidential candidate Roque De La Fuente:

A recount that started Monday might end after the state appeals court said Stein has no standing to have the votes recounted.

The court ordered the state elections board to reject her recount petition.

Stein's team hasn't produced evidence of hacking, but calls Pennsylvania's election system "a national disgrace."

[...] Tuesday, Pennsylvania election officials updated the state's vote count to show that Trump's lead over Clinton had shrunk to about 44,000 out of more than 6 million votes cast.
