With a Green Party-backed group pushing voters to file petitions asking for a presidential election vote recount, counties are working to determine what action they need to take based on state election laws.

But determining what the next steps are, if any, can be tricky.Pennsylvania recount procedures state that ballot recounts are required in any election district if three qualified electors file a petition alleging that fraud or an error in the election votes was committed in that district, but codes could differ slightly by county.Some county election directors are already moving forward with recounts in a number of districts, while others are still waiting for more information before taking action.In Lehigh County, Tim Benyo, election director, said that he will be recounting six districts at 10 a.m. Wednesday after receiving 30 petitions. Those districts include Lower Macungie 5th, Emmaus 6th, Weisenberg, South Whitehall 6th, Allentown 17-2 and Lynn New Tripoli."We believe we have to honor the petitioners who filed and met the election code requirements," he said.Lisa Dart, Carbon County's election director, said that she is meeting with the county's solicitor regarding the matter butsaid that "an application with recount has not been filed in accordance with the election code in Carbon County."Schuylkill County Election Director Frannie Brennan said no ballot challenges have been filed in the county at this time.Legal papers for a recount were filed in Commonwealth Court by former Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein's lawyer on Monday, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported, saying that the suit claims the Nov. 8 presidential election was "illegal" and the results "inaccurate based on research suggesting there might have been irregularities with electronic voting machines among other evidence."But Pennsylvania law states Stein's camp has to show evidence to back up the election fraud claim, which Secretary of State Pedro Cortes says there is none.Correspondent Chris Parker contributed to this story
