Unless there are going to be two separate recounts?

Probably neither one knew the other was doing it.

From what I have seen he is a wealthy man who was also on the ballot, and has values much closer to those of a Democrat than a Republican.

There will be only one recount. I hope he is filing in Michigan and Pennsylvania as well - makes it more likely that the recount will be accepted in those states.

Wisconsin Green Party co-chairman George Martin said that they were seeking a "reconciliation of paper records" -- a request that would go one step further than a simple recount, spurring, he said, an investigation into the integrity of the state's voting system.

"This is a process, a first step to examine whether our electoral democracy is working," Martin said.
