Sociopathic con man and impeached one-termer Donald "Mango Mussolini" Trump filed papers earlier today for a recount in the state of Wisconsin, beating today's 5 o'clock deadline. The total recount costs for the entire state are $7.9 million payable in advance, but Trump's campaign paid just $3 million to have a recount in only Milwaukee and Dane (Madison) counties, two Democratic strongholds. The recount needs to be completed by December 1. President-elect Joe Biden won the state by nearly 21,000 votes, nearly the same amount that Trump won by in 2016.
The recount fee is actually being paid by his delusional cult members, since the Trump team has been soliciting contributions for his fanciful effort to overturn the election. However, the recent history of recounts in Wisconsin bodes ill for him:
"Recounts in Wisconsin and across the country have historically resulted in very few vote changes. A 2016 presidential recount in Wisconsin netted Trump an additional 131 votes."
It's another stall tactic meant to appease the raging clown, and to show his cult that he's doing his best to overturn the election that he fairly lost. Recounts, bogus voter fraud cases that are being tossed out of every court, and other tactics merely stretch out the inevitable verdict: Trump lost everywhere he's contesting, and it wasn't that close.
