WEBVTT REPORTER: THIS IS ABOUT THE INTEGRITY OF THE ELECTION PROCESS AND TOMORROW MORNING THE WISCONSIN ELECTIONS COMMISSION WILL MEET IN MADISON TO SET A TIMETABLE FOR WHEN THE RECOUNT WILL START HERE IN MILWAUKEE COUNTY AND ACROSS THE STATE. THE COUNTING IS EXPECTED TO START THURSDAY >> WE MAY DO A HAND COUNT OF THE BALLOTS. OR WE MIGHT RUN THEM THROUGH THE MACHINES. REPORTER: RACINE COUNTY CLERK WENDY CHRISTENSEN HAS SUPERVISED THREE ELECTION RECOUNTS, TWO IN 2012 AND ONE IN 2011. DID IT CHANGE ANYTHING? >> ULTIMATELY IT DIDN'T CHANGE THE OUTCOME OF THE ELECTION. IT DID CHANGE THE NUMBERS BY A BIT. REPORTER: UNDER WISCONSIN LAW, THE RECOUNT IS ALLOWED AND THE STATE IS WORKING UNDER A FEDERAL DEADLINE OF DECEMBER 13 TO GET IT DONE. >> AND IT'S GOING TO TAKE US THE FULL 12 DAYS THAT WE'LL GET TO CONDUCT THIS. REPORTER: THAT MEANS IN RACINE AND IN WISCONSIN'S 71 OTHER COUNTIES THEY'LL LIKELY BE WORKING THROUGH THE WEEKENDS TO COMPLETE THE RECOUNT. CHRISTENSEN HAS ALREADY BEEN PREPARING OVER THE HOLIDAY. >> I DON'T NORMALLY GO SHOPPING ON BLACK FRIDAY SO THAT WAS OK. REPORTER: ONE REASON FOR THE RECOUNT THERE HAVE BEEN QUESTIONS RAISED OVER THE ACCURACY OF VOTING MACHINES USED BY SOME COUNTIES AND WHETHER THEY COULD BE HACKED. >> I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE WHAT THEY'RE BASING THEIR REQUEST ON. BECAUSE WE'RE NOT AWARE OF ANY ANOMALIES OR ANYTHING IMPROPER THAT HAPPENED. REPORTER: THE STATE SAYS AN AUDIT OF VOTING EQUIPMENT IS UNDERWAY. AND EACH COUNTY'S BOARDS OF CANVASSERS WILL EXAMINE OTHER DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING POLL LISTS, WRITTEN ABSENTEE APPLICATIONS, REJECTED ABSENTEE BALLOTS, AND PROVISIONAL BALLOTS BEFORE COUNTING THE VOTES >> YOU CAN'T ALWAYS GUARANTEE THAT IT'S THE WINNING CANDIDATE THAT'S GOING TO LOSE A VOTE. THE LOSING CANDIDATES CAN ALSO LOSE VOTES REPORTER: THE ELECTION MAY NOT BE COMPLETE EVEN AFTER THE RECOUN THE STATE ELECTIONS COMMISSION SAYS IF THE CANDIDATES DISAGRE WITH THE RESULTS THE LAW GIVES THEM THE RIGHT TO APPEAL IN CIRCUIT COURT.
