MADISON, Wis. — President Donald Trump’s campaign has submitted a petition to the Wisconsin Elections Commission for a partial recount.
The Trump campaign is asking for a recount in Dane and Milwaukee counties, two Democratic strongholds.
Election officials will issue a Recount Order on Thursday now that the WEC has received payment and a partial recount petition, according to a news release.
“The request is for all of Milwaukee and Dane Counties. No other counties or jurisdictions were requested,” said Meagan Wolfe, Wisconsin’s chief election official. “It was filed in-person in our office today at 10:58 a.m. and appears, upon facial review, to meet all of the requirements in pairing with the payment that was received late yesterday.”
The Wisconsin Elections Commission has received a partial recount petition and a wire transfer from the Trump campaign for $3 million.https://t.co/oUlTA5PbQ0
