MADISON (WKOW) -- Green Party Presidential Nominee Jill Stein is seeking to raise $2.5 million by late Friday afternoon to pay for presidential election recounts in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania - three states narrowly won by Republican President-Elect Donald Trump.

On a fundraising page launched early Wednesday afternoon, the Stein campaign indicated it wants recounts in those three states because "data suggests significant discrepancies in vote totals."

"After a divisive and painful presidential race, in which foreign agents hacked into party databases, private email servers, and voter databases in certain states, many Americans are wondering if our election results are reliable," said Stein in a statement on her campaign website. "That's why the unexpected results of the election and reported anomalies need to be investigated before the 2016 presidential election is certified. We deserve elections we can trust."

Official results from the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) show Trump won Wisconsin by 22,177 votes over Democratic Nominee Hillary Clinton, a margin of just 0.8 percent.

If Stein petitions for a recount by 5:00 p.m. on Friday and has the money to pay for it, WEC Administrator Mike Haas said the agency is required by state law to order it - barring a court order that says otherwise.

Haas told 27 News the cost would have to be figured out, saying the 2011 statewide recount for the Wisconsin Supreme Court race between Justice David Prosser and Judge JoAnne Kloppenburg cost local clerks $520,000 - not counting the costs to the state.
