LaCrosse Tribune: MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A bill that would have prevented Wisconsin's presidential election recount is gaining momentum in the state Legislature.
The Assembly Committee on Campaigns and Elections voted 6-3 to send to the full Assembly a Republican proposal that would limit who can request recounts in state and local elections.
Under the bill, only candidates who trail the winner by 1 percentage point or less in statewide elections could petition for a recount. The bill would also tighten the deadline to request one.
