Academics push Clinton to seek recount

A group of computer scientists and election lawyers are working to convince Hillary Clinton’s campaign that she should challenge the results of the Nov. 8 election, based on their analysis of voting machine tabulations in three swing states.

In a conference call last week with Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta, the group said it found evidence to suggest that electronic voting machines in some counties in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania may have been manipulated or hacked. Included in the group were voting-rights attorney John Bonifaz and J. Alex Halderman, the director of the University of Michigan Center for Computer Security and Society.
