After President Trump spent $3 million for recounts in two Wisconsin counties, another 132 votes for Joe Biden were discovered. The new votes, all from Milwaukee County, now gives Biden a lead of nearly 20,600 over Trump, the New York Post reports.
“The Dane recount is continuing; so far, it’s tipped 68 votes in Trump’s favor, with the recount there expected to wrap up on Sunday,” the Post’s report stated. “A Republican lawsuit seeking to block certification of the state’s election results is still pending in Wisconsin Supreme Court, and Trump’s campaign appears to be preparing still more 11th-hour court challenges in hopes of changing the outcome.”
According to the law, the state’s election results must be certified by Tuesday.
Speaking to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Milwaukee County Clerk George Christenson said that the recount results were accurate.
“There was an examination of every ballot by election workers, a meticulous recounting of every ballot that was properly cast, a transparent process that allowed the public to observe, a fair process that allows the aggrieved candidate who sought the recount an opportunity to observe and object to ballots they believe should not be counted,” he said.
