President Donald Trump’s campaign said it will seek a partial recount in two heavily Democratic counties in Wisconsin, which President-elect Joe Biden carried by roughly 20,000 votes statewide.
In a statement, the Trump campaign said it would request recounts in Milwaukee and Dane counties, which overwhelmingly backed Biden. Because Biden’s margin in the state is greater than one-quarter of a percentage point, the Trump campaign has to foot the bill for the recount, according to Wisconsin state law. A recount of the entire state would’ve cost $7.9 million.
The Wisconsin Elections Commission tweeted it received a wire transfer of $3 million from the Trump campaign shortly before 11 a.m. Eastern but it had not yet received a petition from the campaign formally requesting the recount.
The recount is exceedingly unlikely to change the results in Wisconsin. In 2016, a statewide recount changed the totals in Trump’s favor by just 131 votes as he carried Wisconsin over Hillary Clinton.
