The billionaire was elected president on November 8 – but a growing number of activists have called for the votes to be recounted in key states where Trump won by a close margin.
Earlier in the week, Green Party candidate Jill Stein launched a campaign demanding votes be recounted in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.Trump beat rival Hillary Clinton in Pennsylvania by 70,010 votes, Wisconsin by 27,257 votes and Michigan by just 10,704 votes, according to local reports
.
Now Wisconsin's election board has bended to Stein’s demands after she agreed to pay a recount fee.
The process – which includes a review of almost 3 million ballots – is set to begin next week.
Stein is still petitioning for recounts in Michigan and Pennsylvania – which must be filed before Wednesday next week in order to be eligible.
