Gov. Scott Walker: Wisconsin Recount 'Hard to Justify'

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker launched his own tweetstorm on Monday blasting the recount efforts in his state.

Hard to justify #Recount2016 to the taxpayers when the winner won by over 22K votes – x4 the margin of the closest WI pres. election.

President-elect Donald Trump took umbrage with the recount, sending out 11 tweets over the course of Sunday directly or indirectly slamming the efforts.

WI’s electoral process is fair & protected. Are #Recount2016 supporters really that surprised how rural Wisconsin voted?

Green Party candidate Jill Stein crowd-funded the recount, raising her goal of $2.5 million in less than 24 hours last week on her way to north of $5 million to launch the effort, with help from Reform candidate Rocky De La Fuente, The Hill reported. Stein on Monday formally requested a recount in Pennsylvania, too.

We made it easy to vote, hard to cheat in WI elections. Supporters of #Recount2016 were against our Voter ID initiatives.

Trump flipped the normally true blue state and garnered its 10 electoral votes.
