'Foreign Hackers' Prompt Call For Recount In Key States

Academics and activists are now calling for a full audit or recount of U.S. election votes in key battleground states. Irregularities in electronic voting patterns have allegedly been found in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, apparently suggesting that 'foreign hackers' may have influenced the results. As our infographic shows, Clinton lost narrowly in each of these states, with the votes in Michigan so close that a result has not yet been officially called. Despite Trump loudly protesting a 'rigged system' throughout his campaign, it may well be Clinton who needs to deal with the issue in the end.
