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

10 a.m.

Lawyers for the Green Party have filed a lawsuit asking a federal judge to order a recount of Pennsylvania’s presidential election results.

The lawsuit was filed Monday morning in Philadelphia against state elections officials. It argues that Pennsylvania’s barriers to a recount violate voters’ constitutional rights.

Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein is spearheading recount efforts in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. Republican Donald Trump narrowly defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton in all three states on his way to victory.
