Biden’s count increased by 132 votes in Milwaukee County, the state’s largest county and one of the two districts where Trump sought a recount.
The president, however, refused to be discouraged and told his supporters: “Stay tuned!”
Milwaukee County’s vote total increased for both candidates after election officials found several hundred uncounted ballots earlier this week.
Claire Woodall-Vogg, the city of Milwaukee’s top election official, blamed it on “human error.”
Overall, Biden got 257 votes to Trump’s 125, with 640,000 cast in the county.
In the second area, Dane County, another Democratic stronghold, votes are still being counted in a recount that is expected to last through the weekend. Trump has won 68 votes over Biden so far.
Biden won the state by 20,600 votes after the November 3 vote.
Wisconsin election officials informed the Trump campaign that if they wanted a statewide count, it would cost them $ 7.9 million. The campaign then turned to the two counties, Dane and Milwaukee, where they felt they had the best opportunities.
Dane County is expected to finish its count on Sunday.
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.
On December 14, voters from all states will meet to elect the candidate their state voted for.
Trump still hopes to reverse the result, although he has little chance of doing so.
Legal efforts to date have been unsuccessful in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, and Pennsylvania.
His legal team, led by Rudy Giuliani, now hopes the Supreme Court will take up his case in Pennsylvania, something they are under no obligation to do.
