Trump won all three states, with his margin of victory in Michigan being just 10,704 votes

She has also raised the $.5million needed for the Pennsylvania filing fee and the $.6million needed in Michigan

Stein said the recount in Wisconsin is on after securing the $1.1million needed for the filing fee

She raised $4.1million in less than a day online and the money will be used to pay for the recounts

Jill Stein has raised enough money for recounts in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania after experts said it was possible that hackers had artificially lowered Hillary Clinton's counts there.

If all three states were overturned - however unlikely that outcome may be - it could theoretically hand the White House to Clinton.

Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway criticized those who were calling for a recount on Thursday, writing on Twitter: 'Look who "can't accept the election results."'

She then linked to an article about Clinton supporters calling for a recount.

Stein started the fund-raiser on her website on Wednesday, saying that she needed to raise $2million by Friday - but broke that within hours.

She has now raised the necessary funds for the filing fees in all three states, and announced on Thursday that the recount would be moving forward in Wisconsin.

'Congratulations on meeting the recount costs for Wisconsin,' wrote Stein on her website.

'Raising money to pay for the first round so quickly is a miraculous feat and a tribute to the power of grassroots organizing.'

Former Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein has raised $3.1million in less than a day online and the money will be used to pay for the recounts

Stein said the recount in Wisconsin is on after securing the $1.1million needed for the filing fee

Stein promised to use the money - which was initially set at $2million - to pay for recounts in the three states.

On Thursday morning, the target was increased again to $4.5millon.

The campaign anticipates eventually needing $6 million to $7 million to cover attorney fees and statewide recount observation costs.

She cited the Green Party's successful 2004 demand for an Ohio recount - which ended in two election officials being convicted of rigging the count - as proof of concept.

On her website, Stein positioned the fundraiser as 'an effort to ensure the integrity of our elections' after experts 'independently identified Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin as states where "statistical anomalies" raised concerns.'

'Our effort to recount votes in those states is not intended to help Hillary Clinton,' she said.

The recount may indeed help Clinton, however - if, as experts suggest could be the case, she has been the victim of a cyber-attack on electronic polling stations.

According to New York, the group - which includes computer security and voting law experts - says Clinton performed 7 per cent worse in those Wisconsin counties in which voters input their choice directly into electronic voting machines.

In the other counties, where Clinton did better, voters have a paper ballot that is counted using an optical scanner or (in small numbers, to ensure accuracy) by hand.

That, they say, suggests the electronic voting machines could have been hacked to filter out Clinton votes - something that can't be done when scanning paper ballots.

Their calculations say that proposed hack could have robbed Clinton of 30,000 votes in the state. She lost Wisconsin to Trump by 27,000.

The move theoretically puts Clinton back in play for the Presidency - but the odds are still against her, and the White House reportedly wants to get on with transitioning to Trump

The experts reached out to Clinton campaign chair John Podesta in a conference call on November 17 to try to get Clinton to call for a recount. But Stein could do it herself

They believe that Pennsylvania and Michigan are two other key states that could theoretically have been affected. If Clinton claimed all three in a recount, she would win the Electoral College.

The scientists don't have direct evidence of a hack, they say - if it exists, it would only come if Clinton demands an investigation and recount - but DNC emails were plundered by hackers in the run-up to the election.

Clinton campaign chair John Podesta also had his email account hacked and its contents leaked.

And in August, both Illinois and Arizona election records were breached in a cyber-attack, according to the FBI and state agencies.

No suspects have been named in this potential voting hack, but Russia was fingered as a culprit in all of the attacks by US officials.

The computer experts used a statistical analysis to conclude Clinton did worse in states with electronic voting machines - which they argue could have left the door open to hacking

The experts include J Alex Halderman, director of the University of Michigan Center for Computer Security and Society.

In an article for Medium, Halderman admits that Clinton's shock defeats in the states - which went against polling predictions - were 'probably' the fault of the polls being 'systematically wrong' rather than hacked.

But, he said, neither explanation was 'overwhelmingly more likely than the other,' and so it was imperative for 'physical evidence' to be examined.

On November 17, his group contacted Clinton campaign chair John Podesta and general counsel Marc Elias to present them with their findings and push for a recount and investigation, according to New York magazine.

But the White House is reportedly leaning on Clinton not to demand the recount, as it wants to focus on smoothing the transition from the Obama administration to Trump's new Cabinet.

However, if Stein gets her way, neither Clinton nor the White House will have a choice.

Podesta's emails were hacked during the election campaign, as were DNC emails and voter data in Arizona and Illinois. US officials pointed to Russia as a culprit in all three cases

Clinton already conceded to Trump and gave a farewell speech. She faces a recount deadline of just days in the three states, even if a challenge is mounted

The same day, Clinton's lead in the popular vote increased to more than 2million. Millions more are left to be counted, and many are expected to go to Clinton

And Clinton's success in the popular vote may prove more of an impetus to push out the boat anyway.

On Wednesday, as Stein's takings rocketed, it was announced that her lead over Trump had increased to more than 2million, and was expected to keep rising.

David Wasserman of the nonpartisan Cook Report tweeted the result Wednesday, as her lead increased to 1.5 per cent of the vote.

According to the Cook Report, Clinton's ballot count is now at 64,225,863 -compared with Trump's 62,210,612.

There are still millions more votes to be counted, and it's believed that most of those will be for Clinton.

If Stein or Clinton want to push for the recounts, they'll need to move fast, however.

If they want to file a recount in Wisconsin, the deadline is Friday. In Pennsylvania they have until Monday. And in Michigan the cut-off is November 30.
