The recount that Donald Trump’s campaign called for in Milwaukee County, the most populous in the state of Wisconsin, ultimately resulted in even more votes being awarded to his opponent and election winner, Democrat Joe Biden.
The count carried out in that county ended up dictating that, of the almost 460,000 votes that were registered, Joe Biden won with 317,527 votes and Donald Trump was second with 134,482. Although the order of the results is not particularly surprising (Milwaukee County includes the city of the same name, which is a Democratic stronghold in the state of Wisconsin), it is possible that Donald Trump’s campaign did not expect that after the count the advantage Joe Biden’s increased by 132.
In total, Donald Trump’s campaign spent $ 3 million (2.51 million euros, at the current exchange rate) to be able to carry out the ballot count in Milwaukee County and also in Dane County. also in Wisconsin, and the results of which will be released this weekend.
With 98% of the results counted at this point, Joe Biden is considered the winner of the state of Wisconsin, with a lead of just over 20,000 votes over Donald Trump.
Faced with this news, Donald Trump reacted on Twitter. “The Wisconsin count is not about finding errors in the count, it is about finding people who voted illegally, and that will be evoked once the count is finished, on Monday or Tuesday,” he wrote on that social network. “We found a lot of illegal votes. Stay tuned!”
The Wisconsin recount is not about finding errors in the recount, it is about finding people who have voted illegally, and that case will start after the recount ends, on Monday or Tuesday. We have found many illegal votes. Stay tuned!

In 2016, Wisconsin was a key player in Donald Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton, after beating the Democratic candidate by 22,748 votes. The result was unexpected, with most polls predicting a victory for Hillary Clinton in that state which, since 1988, has always voted overwhelmingly for the Democratic candidate in the presidential elections.
In Pennsylvania, the president had other bad news: The request made by his team in that equally decisive state was rejected by a panel of relations judges who in their decision said there was no evidence of the allegations of fraud made by the Republican campaign.
“Free and fair elections are the essence of our Democrat. The accusations of injustice are serious. But calling for unfair elections is not enough to make them like this, ”wrote Judge Stephanos Bibas, who drafted the final text of the three-judge panel’s decision. “The charges require specific charges to be filed and then evidence. We don’t have any of that in this case, ”said the judge in question, who was appointed in November 2017 by Donald Trump.
On Saturday, Donald Trump also reacted to the position of the Pennsylvania judges. “Specific claims have been made and we have a lot of evidence in Pennsylvania. Some people just don’t want to see them, ”he wrote. “They want nothing to do with saving this country. Sadness!”
Specific allegations were made, and we have massive evidence, in the Pennsylvania case. Some people just don’t want to see it. They want nothing to do with saving our country. Sad!!!

Another reaction to that decision was that Jenna Ellis, legal counsel for Donald Trump’s campaign team, wrote on Twitter that “Pennsylvania’s activist judicial machine continues to cover up allegations of mass fraud” and ended her post with the expression: “By SCOTUS” . SCOTUS is the acronym in English for the Supreme Court of the United States.
.@RudyGiuliani and I in the opinion of the Third Circuit:
The activist judicial machine in Pennsylvania continues to cover up allegations of massive fraud.
We are very grateful to have had the opportunity to present evidence and facts to the Pennsylvania State Legislature.
SCOTUS!
