Biden’s lead in one Wisconsin county narrows by just 45 votes after recount
Biden won the county by 181,340 votes and is now poised to be certified the winner in the state. Both candidates saw a decrease from their election night vote totals, with Biden losing 91 votes, and Trump losing 46 votes in the recount, the Dane County Board of Canvassers announced Sunday. The drawdowns were mostly due to a lack of signatures on ballots, either from the voter or a witness.
Dane County saw no major issues during the recount, and there are no outstanding issues to address, according to County Clerk Scott McDonell, who is also a member of the Board of Canvassers.
While announcing the results, McDonell said it was clear from the recount that there was no voter fraud, and questioned why the campaign only asked for a recount in two of Wisconsin’s counties if they believed the issue was widespread in the state.
The Wisconsin Elections Commission will certify the state’s election results on Tuesday.
Trump tweeted Saturday afternoon that his campaign plans to challenge the results of the Wisconsin recount in court.
