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

9 a.m.

The recounting of the presidential election results in Wisconsin is underway. It’s the first candidate-driven recount in the United States since Florida in 2000.

Green Party candidate Jill Stein requested the recount that started Thursday, even though she has no chance of picking up the roughly 1.3 million votes needed to win. Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton by about 22,000 votes in Wisconsin.

Stein says she wants a recount to ensure ballot tabulating machines were not compromised by hackers.
