The Michigan Board of Canvassers certified the Nov. 8 election results on Monday, affirming that Republican Donald Trump won the presidential race in the state with a 10,704-vote margin of victory over Democrat Hillary Clinton.

Here's what else we know:

Jill Stein, Green Party candidate for president, is expected to file a request for a recount of the election results by a 2 p.m. Wednesday deadline, said her attorney, Mark Brewer, former chairman of the Michigan Democratic Party.

The campaign of Donald Trump has hired two Michigan-based election lawyers — Gary Gordon and John Pirich — to represent them in any recount proceedings. They could file a challenge to the recount request within seven days after the request is filed.

If a recount request is made, a recount will begin Friday in the 19 largest counties in the state and will continue throughout the weekend. Smaller counties will be next, and the ballots will be counted in a central location in those initial 19 areas. If the recount goes on uninterrupted, it could be done by Dec. 9 or 10, said state officials.

If a challenge to a recount is filed, the recount will be paused while the Board of Canvassers resolves the challenge.

The cost of the recount, which would be borne by Stein, will be $125 per precinct for the state's 6,300 precincts or $787,500. If costs go beyond that amount, the county responsible for the higher costs will get the bill.
