What the Guardian describes as a "Trump-ordered" recount of votes in Wisconsin's largest country has culminated in president-elect Joe Biden gaining votes.
According to the Associated Press, Milwaukee County concluded its recount of presidential ballots on Friday, finding only small changes in totals for one of the two counties that were recounting ballots.
Per AP, president-elect Joe Biden's total lead increased by 132 votes after county election officials recounted in excess of 450,000 votes.
Barack Obama reveals the advice he would give Donald Trump:The Trump campaign had demanded recounts in two of Wisconsin's counties, according to the Guardian, after the incumbent president lost Wisconsin to Joe Biden by more than 20,000 votes.
It's believed that the two recounts will cost the Trump campaign $3m.
George Christenson, the Milwaukee county clerk, said after the recount had concluded, "The recount demonstrates what we already know: that elections in Milwaukee county are fair, transparent, accurate and secure."
The Associated Press reports that the Trump campaign appears to be gearing up to mount a court challenge to the change the election's outcome, but time is running out - the state's deadline to certify the vote is Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump has said that president-elect Joe Biden will only be granted access to the White House "if he can prove that his ridiculous '80,000,000 votes' were not fraudulently or illegally obtained".
Taking to Twitter on Friday (November 27), the incumbent President wrote to his 88.8 million followers:
"Biden can only enter the White House as President if he can prove that his ridiculous '80,000,000 votes' were not fraudulently or illegally obtained.
"When you see what happened in Detroit, Atlanta, Philadelphia & Milwaukee, massive voter fraud, he’s got a big unsolvable problem!"
Trump's baseless claim was accompanied by a flag which read: "This claim about election fraud is disputed".
If users were to click on the flag, they will be taken to a page with the headline: "Voter fraud of any kind is exceedingly rare in the US, election experts confirm."
The page adds: "Experts and officials said there has been no evidence of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 US elections. The election process was secure and voter fraud of any type is incredibly rare, according to The Associated Press and Reuters."
