Trump to ask for recount in Wisconsin – campaign manager – the Citizen

President Donald Trump’s campaign said Wednesday it was demanding a recount in Wisconsin, where early results show Democrat Joe Biden with a slight lead.

“There have been reports of irregularities in several counties in Wisconsin that raise serious questions about the validity of the results,” campaign manager Bill Stepien said in a statement.

“The president is within the threshold to request a recount and we will do so immediately.”

Wisconsin is one of the few states where the fate of the American election is now at stake.

Trump alleged earlier Wednesday that there had been “surprise ballot dumps” in states where he had led Democrat Joe Biden in the race for the White House.

“Last night he was leading, often solidly, in many key states, in almost all cases controlled and controlled by the Democrats,” Trump tweeted. “Then one by one, they began to magically disappear as the surprise dumps were counted.”

Trump offered no evidence for his “ballot” allegation and there have been no reports of wrongdoing.

The tracks in numerous states have shifted back and forth between candidates as votes are counted.

However, Twitter labeled a tweet from Trump alleging ballot irregularities as “misleading” as an adjusted vote count was evolving in the presidential election.

Trump alleged that there had been “surprise ballot dumps” in the states where he had been leading Democrat Joe Biden in the race for the White House.

Twitter had also taken a similar action against a previous tweet from the president.

Users were able to read the tweets after clicking a warning that “some or all of the content shared in this tweet is in dispute and could be misleading.”
