?Update: Objection to Michigan presidential recount expected to be filed today

It's official: The campaign of Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein has requested a recount of the nearly 4.8 million ballots cast for president in the state of Michigan.

So why is she doing it? The number of blank ballots in Michigan's presidential election results were a "red flag" to her.

"In part, Michigan has this very high level of under votes; that is, blank ballots," Stein said during an interview today on "Detroit Today with Stephen Henderson" on WDET radio.

Henderson, also the Free Press editorial page editor, pointed out that 84,000 ballots had no presidential choice.

"Exactly," Stein replied. "That is quite an unusual number. This is breaking records, blowing through the roof. This may be a tip off, or a red flag that there's either been machine error, or in some cases tampering.
