A recount in Wisconsin’s largest county demanded by Republican President Donald Trump’s election campaign ended Friday with Democratic President-elect Joe Biden gaining votes.
After the recount in Milwaukee County, Biden had a net gain of 132 votes, out of nearly 460,000 cast. Overall, Biden gained 257 votes to Trump’s 125.
Trump’s campaign had demanded recounts in two of Wisconsin’s most populous and Democratic-leaning counties, after losing Wisconsin to Biden by over 20,000 votes. The two recounts will cost the Trump campaign $3 million. Dane County is expected to finish its recount on Sunday.
Overall, Biden won the November 3 US presidential election with 306 Electoral College votes – many more than the 270 needed for victory – to Trump’s 232. Biden also leads by more than six million in the popular vote tally.
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 secure.”
The Trump campaign is still expected to mount a legal challenge to the overall result in Wisconsin, but time is running out. The state is due to certify its presidential result on Tuesday.

Uh oh. Be careful what you ask for. Nu nu. It’s not looking good for our President. I do agree with him, where in the world did Basement Joe get his 80,000,000 votes?
There’s no way Biden can have more than 1%. The rallies are the best proof.
We’ll wait for Sidney Powell to show the fraud in Wisconsin too.
Can someone explain how in the world can Democrats ever win without fraud if they’re the minority? ALLLLLL Democrat presidents in the past were “installed” they weren’t voted for, as Joseph Stalin said: It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.
The point of the recount was never that the recount itself would show any significant change in numbers. The point of the recount was to establish a separate count of contested ballots. For one example (of many different reasons for contested ballots), Dane County Clerk Scott McDonell advised voters in March to indicate they are indefinitely confined because of the pandemic when applying for an absentee ballot if they were having difficulty submitting a copy of their photo ID. As it turns out, the Supreme Court of Wisconsin ruled that such an idea is contrary to Wisconsin election law (meaning the pandemic itself is not a legal justification for declaring oneself “confined”). Yet in 2016 there were only 56,978 confined voters ballots that mushroomed to 215,713 in 2020, leading to a justified suspicion that the increase is in violation of Wisconsin law (and the difference there alone is more than enough to give Trump a landslide victory).
oops
A recount is ludicrous. If there were millions of fraudulent ballots cast to begin with, then how will recounting them help? The entire election has to be invalidated and we need a DO OVER with new voting machines that are secure and obviously ZERO mail-in ballots. If everyone can go out to the supermarket a few times a week in this “pandemic”, then they can go out to vote.
