After raising more than $5 million for election recount efforts in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein is setting her sights on Michigan.

Stein, whose campaign launched an effort to raise funds for recounting votes in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan on Nov. 22, announced this week that they'd raised enough money to meet recount requirements in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

In a statement on her campaign's website, Stein said it's important to investigate the results to ensure voting results are reliable and secure after reports of potential hacking of voter and party databases.

"We deserve elections we can trust," she said.

Michigan's presidential election results are set to be certified by the Board of State Canvassers at its Monday, Nov. 28 meeting. After the results are officially certified, Stein would have until Wednesday to formally request a recount.

Under state law, Stein would have to pay $125 per precinct for a recount effort. With more than 6,300 precincts and absentee voter counting boards in the state, Stein would need to come up with roughly $790,000 for a recount in Michigan, Secretary of State spokesperson Fred Woodhams said.

As of Friday afternoon, Stein's campaign had raised $5.1 million of a $7 million goal for all three states, and hundreds of volunteers have signed up to monitor recounts in every Michigan county.

In Michigan, updated unofficial election results show Republican President-elect Donald Trump defeating Democrat Hillary Clinton by 10,704 votes. Michigan election officials have stood by the results of the election, noting that despite the close margin, they are confident the election went smoothly.

"The detailed county canvassing process ensures that Michigan residents can have full confidence in the accuracy and integrity of the results," a statement on the Secretary of State's website reads. "The canvassing and certification process is how the state of Michigan, like the other 49 states, formally determines a winner in the days immediately following each election."

Initially, the Secretary of State reported Trump won by 13,107 votes in the state. The updated numbers released Wednesday evening show that margin has shrunk to 10,704 votes, making it an even closer race.

Trump received 2,279,543 votes statewide, while Clinton earned 2,268,839. Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson took home 172,136 votes from Michigan, and Green Party candidate Jill Stein earned 51,643 votes.

Some national news outlets have not yet called the state for Trump because his margin over Clinton is so slim.

Interest in the possibility of a recount emerged after some election security experts, including University of Michigan professor J. Alex Halderman, have said the only way to know whether a cyberattack changed the results of the election is to examine paper ballots and voting machines in critical states.

Halderman said in a post on Medium that there are serious security flaws in the U.S. election process that could be exploited by hackers, and checking the paper ballots in 2016 would be a security safeguard to preserve voter confidence and deter prospective attackers in future elections.
