Donald Trump's transition team on Monday pushed back against an effort to recount November 8's presidential election votes, calling the effort "nonsense", but offering no evidence to back a weekend Trump tweet alleging millions of illegal votes. On Sunday, Trump tweeted that "serious voter fraud" occurred in California, New Hampshire, and Virginia, states won by his opponent, Democrat Hillary Clinton. Stein's campaign has raised the money needed to pay filing fees for recount requests in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. New Hampshire's deputy secretary of state, David Scanlan, said there was no evidence supporting Trump's claims of widespread voter fraud. "Voter fraud does occur, but it occurs in isolated instances," he said.
