Recount of presidential votes in Wisconsin ends, reaffirms Biden’s win

Washington, Nov 30 : US President-elect Joe Biden’s win in Wisconsin has been reaffirmed after two of the state’s largest counties completed the recount of the ballots cast in the November 3 presidential election, with just a little change in the tally.
The Democratic former Vice President’s lead over incumbent President Donald Trump in the key swing state grew by 87 votes, after the latter gained 45 votes in the Dane County recount and Biden got a 132-vote net gain in the Milwaukee county recount, Xinhua news agency reported.
The statewide tally showed Biden won Wisconsin by over 20,000 votes.
The Trump campaign has, as required by state law, paid $3 million for the recount, only to see his defeat more apparent.
A day before the recount results, Trump had tweeted on Saturday that he would file a lawsuit “Monday or Tuesday” to continue challenging the results.
“The Wisconsin recount is not about finding mistakes in the count, it is about finding people who have voted illegally,” he said.
