A recount in Wisconsin’s largest county demanded by Trump’s election campaign ended Friday with Biden winning votes.
After the recount in Milwaukee County, Biden had a net gain of 132 votes, out of nearly 460,000 cast. Overall, Biden got 257 votes to Trump’s 125.
Trump’s campaign had demanded re-counts in two of Wisconsin’s most populous and Democratic-leaning counties, after losing Wisconsin to Biden by more than 20,000 votes. The two counts will cost the Trump campaign $ 3 million (£ 2.25 million). Dane County is expected to finish its count on Sunday.
After the recount ended, Milwaukee County Clerk George Christenson said, “The recount demonstrates what we already know – that elections in Milwaukee County are fair, transparent, accurate and safe.”
The Trump campaign is still expected to pose a legal challenge to the overall outcome in Wisconsin, but time is running out. The state must certify its presidential result on Tuesday.
