DETROIT (AP) - The Latest on the presidential recount efforts in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin (all times local):

10:30 a.m.

The county that includes Detroit is among six in Michigan that have started recounts of the state's presidential election results.

Wayne County's recount got underway Tuesday at a Detroit convention hall. Seven of the state's other 83 counties have also started recounts since Monday.

Fred Woodhams, a spokesman for Republican Secretary of State Ruth Johnson, says it's possible not all votes will be recounted in Wayne County because of improper seals on ballot boxes and other issues. In such cases, the original vote would stand. Democrat Hillary Clinton won 67 percent of Wayne County's vote.

The recount is being driven by Green Party candidate Jill Stein, who also requested recounts in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Republican Donald Trump narrowly won all three states, with Stein getting about 1 percent in each.

The presidential recount in Michigan expands Tuesday to its largest county, which includes Detroit, and five other counties, and the fate of a statewide recount push in Pennsylvania awaits action in federal court.

President-elect Donald Trump narrowly defeated Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton in both states and Wisconsin, which started its recount last week. The recounts requested by Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein were not expected to change enough votes to overturn the result of the election.

Stein, who received about 1 percent of the vote in all three states, says her intent is to verify the vote's accuracy. She has suggested, with no evidence, that votes cast were susceptible to computer hacking.

A partial recount underway in Nevada was requested by independent presidential candidate Roque De La Fuente.
