A group of computer scientists and election lawyers are working to convince Hillary Clinton’s campaign that she should challenge the results of the Nov. 8 election, based on their analysis of voting machine tabulations in three swing states.
In a conference call last week with Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta, the group said it found evidence to suggest that electronic voting machines in some counties in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania may have been manipulated or hacked. Included in the group were voting-rights attorney John Bonifaz and J. Alex Halderman, the director of the University of Michigan Center for Computer Security and Society.
A source who was briefed on the call told the Daily Intelligencer, New York Magazine’s news blog, that the academics said that in Wisconsin in particular, counties that used electronic voting machines showed that Clinton received 7 percent fewer votes compared to those that used optical scanners and paper ballots, perhaps because the machines were tampered with.
The academics had no proof the machines were hacked. Still, they are suggesting that a potential problem may have cost Clinton up to 30,000 votes, which would more than make up the 27,000 votes she lost the state by, and pressed the Clinton campaign to ask for a recount in these states.

The threat of hacking attacks loomed large over this year’s election. Federal officials accused Russia of directing attacks to influence the election, specifically the hacked emails from the Democratic National Committee which were then disseminated by websites like WikiLeaks. Though Clinton conceded the election to Trump in a phone call the night after the election, there have been large demonstrations across the country protesting the billionaire businessman’s victory. Millions of people have also signed petitions to get rid of the Electoral College since Clinton won the popular vote by 1.7 million, according to the latest count.
