KALAMAZOO, MI -- The Kalamazoo County Clerk's Office finished recounting votes cast in the Nov. 8 presidential election Tuesday night.

With the help of 140 volunteers and clerks from around the county, ballots from 108 precincts and 98 absentee ballot counting sites were counted within 12 hours of starting. Kalamazoo County Clerk Tim Snow said the effort finished around 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 7.

The recount resulted in a few minor changes. Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton gained 82 votes, President-elect Donald Trump gained 16 votes, and Green Party Candidate Jill Stein, who initiated the recount process, lost one vote.

Seven precincts were declared uncountable, five of which were off by a one ballot margin. Workers have two chances to balance the number of physical ballots with the number recorded on election day.

One precinct was 25 ballots short, an issue Snow said baffled clerks during the recount process.

The bags are sealed on election night. One precinct was not counted because a ballot bag had a broken seal.

Overall, Snow said the recount process went very smoothly and without incident. He credited the quick finish to an increased number of volunteers, many of whom had never worked an election before.

"It was an incredible day; as close to what you could ever imagine (as perfect)," Snow said. "There was no acrimony here, everyone got along beautifully."

Branch County will begin its recount Wednesday in the Kalamazoo County Expo building at 11 a.m.

Kalamazoo County's results will go to the State Board of Canvassers for final confirmation.

Kalamazoo County's first tally reported Clinton with 53 percent of the 126,301 votes in Kalamazoo County, to Trump's 40 percent. Trump defeated Clinton by 10,704 votes in Michigan.

Stein was required to pay $125 per precinct for the recount, a total of $973,250.

Volunteers will be paid $100-$125 per day, and various other costs like food, water and coffee and securing the Expo building means the recount could cost Kalamazoo County more than the $13,500 it received from Stein.

Snow said he will likely have an estimate on the cost to Kalamazoo County on Thursday, but expects to save some money for finishing sooner than expected.
