Wisconsin Re-Certifies Trump as Winner; Trump Gained 131 Net Votes in Recount
Dang, these Russkies are good!
Wisconsin's historic presidential recount ended Monday and resulted in a net gain of 131 votes for President-elect Donald Trump over Democrat Hillary Clinton, the Wisconsin Elections Commission.
The recount resulted in a net change of 1,769 additional votes being counted, or 0.06 percent of the 2.975 million total ballot. The last statewide recount in a 2011 Supreme Court race added an extra 1,233 votes out of 1.5 million ballots.
Trump gained 837 votes from the recount and Clinton gained 706 votes. Trump won the state by 22,308 votes.
So that about wraps it up.
Except for the implausible Faithless Elector scenario, in which... nothing happens, and if something does happen, the vote goes to the House of Representatives, controlled by Republicans. (Yes it's on a state by state basis, but Republicans have majorities in a majority of state delegations.)
