Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein insisted Monday that she would be calling for recounts in three key states won by President-elect Trump even if former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had won them instead of Trump.

Stein told reporters at a press conference outside Trump Tower in New York that she would “absolutely” be pushing for recounts in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania regardless of the outcome. At the event, Stein praised the decision by a federal judge in Michigan who ruled in favor of the recount, which will begin on Monday at noon.
