NEW YORK -- A group of computer scientists and other experts is questioning the integrity of the U.S. presidential election results in three key states and urging losing candidate Hillary Clinton's camp to file for a recount.
Election results in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania may have been hacked or otherwise manipulated, according to a group including J. Alex Halderman, director of the University of Michigan Center for Computer Security and Society. The news was reported by outlets including New York magazine.
These three battleground states typically lean toward Clinton's Democratic Party but went for Trump in this month's election. The experts learned that Clinton received a substantially smaller share of votes in Wisconsin counties that used electronic voting machines than in those that used paper ballots, according to the media reports. No concrete proof of hacking has been found.
Winning all three of those states would tilt the Electoral College in Clinton's favor, giving her the presidency.
