Reached on Friday, LeMahieu said he doesn't have a bill drafted yet, but he is speaking with other lawmakers and with Legislative Council staff to make sure the right to a recount would be preserved while putting in place some restrictions.

"I've heard from quite a few representatives and senators who are interested in getting something done to prevent a candidate who has no way of actually winning in a recount of holding up the electoral process," he said, adding that he thinks most lawmakers would agree a recount conducted on behalf of someone who received such a small percentage of the vote is not an effective use of local clerks' time.

Trump defeated Democratic former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in Wisconsin by about 22,000 votes. Stein received about 31,000 votes.

Walker on Friday said people should call the recount what it is: "a fundraising scheme for the Green Party."

Not only is the party raising money to fund recounts in Wisconsin and other states, Walker said, it is building an email list of donors it can tap in the future.
