(AP) — Michigan's fee to recount election votes would double if a losing candidate is down by more than 5 percentage points under legislation approved Tuesday by the state Senate in response to Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein's recount bid last fall. Stein sought the recount despite winning 1 percent of the vote, questioning the accuracy of the vote and suggesting, without evidence, that votes were susceptible to hacking. Supporters of the legislation said the recount by Stein, which covered more than 40 percent of the statewide vote before courts stopped it, showed the fee is to too low to cover costs, particularly in a statewide recount. Counties that participated in the recount received Stein's $341,000, while state costs were not reimbursed, said Department of State spokesman Fred Woodhams. Only a candidate who trails the winner by 1 percentage point or less in a statewide election could petition for a recount.
