Recounts increase Biden's ballots

President-elect Joe Biden won the primarily Democratic Milwaukee County over incumbent President Donald Trump with 257 more ballots in the final tally show, as Wisconsin concluded the ‘recounting of votes’ that started last Friday, November 20. Milwaukee recount, which had cost the Trump campaign nearly $3m, resulted in Biden's lead with a net gain of 257 votes to Trump’s 125 that jumped his vote count to 317,527, of nearly 460,000 total casts. The republicans had demanded the recounting of votes in Wisconsin’s populous and Democratic-leaning counties after US President lost to Biden with more than 20,000 votes. While Biden was declared a projected winner of the presidential race with 306 electoral colleges to Trump’s 232, President Donald Trump’s campaign lead asserted that only “legal votes” must be tallied in the two counties as they slapped lawsuits.
